Hedgebind is inspired by botanical themes and delicate tendrils of Art Nouveau book covers, especially those by Margaret Armstrong. The classic drop-shoulder silhouette allows the intricate colourwork panel on the front to take centre stage.

The body of Hedgebind is worked from the bottom up in the round. The large colourwork chart is worked on the front, bordered by the smaller motif which continues onto the back. Stitches are cast on for steeks at the armholes, front neck and back neck. The steeks are cut, and stitches are picked up around the armholes for the sleeves, which are worked in the round and tapered down to the wrist. Stitches are picked up for the neckband, which is then folded double and stitched down.
