Saoirse

As the sun lingers longer in the sky and temperatures rise, our hearts swell in anticipation of long, free summer days.

Knitted seamlessly from the top and including lovely shaping and thoughtful details, Saoirse (seer-sha) is lighthearted and lightweight with a cheeky swing. From her sweet scooped neckline with its rolled edge to the pretty lace panel down each raglan sleeve and easy-fit body, she’s perfect for warm days.

Choose precious skeins of fingering-weight yarn for a lovely party Saoirse or pretty sock yarn for a knock-about tee over shorts and skirts – or make both!

Including charts and written instructions perfectly designed for new and experienced garment knitters, Saoirse is an ideal summer knit.
