The inspiration for this design comes from the Selsey coastline in the south of England. The land juts out into the sea to form a sharp triangle, and that is reflected in the flowing slip-stitch pattern and travelling stitches used in this sweater. A day at the British seaside isn’t complete without some knitwear to protect against the sea breeze, and the Selsey sweater is the perfect light layer.
