Last summer I spent quite a while in the beautiful little town of Carlingford. Two things I think
of in particular when I think of Carlingford now. The joy which my dog Odin had swimming in
the sea each day, and the pink flowers everywhere.
This pattern draws on those memories of summer in Carlingford, and the design evokes
drifts of flowers along a roadside in a light floaty design. Cool enough for a nice summer day,
but cosy enough if a breeze comes in from the harbour.
The main body is worked as 2 hexagons which fold over to form the side panels and sleeves
of the pullover. The front and back central panels are then worked with connecting strips of
flower design using join-as-you-go method. An additional panel is then added around the
bottom in a contrasting colour, and a picot border created for the neckline and cuffs.

This is a slow fashion garment - one that takes a little while to make, and should then give years of wear. It is an intermediate skill level pattern. It required some patience and care with stitch counts, but full instructions are given with photo tutorials
