Sennen Sweater by The Knit Purl Girl – the knitting kit

This listing is for a knitting kit containing all the British wool yarn needed to make the Sennen Sweater by The Knit Purl Girl in your chosen size. The Sennen Sweater knitting pattern is available separately here – the kit doesn't include the pattern.

The Sennen Sweater is a slightly oversized drop-shoulder sweater with stranded colourwork stripes through the body and sleeves inspired by Sennen Cove Beach in Cornwall, UK. There is optional shaping through the length of the body to create a more tapered silhouette, whilst the sleeves have more dramatic shaping around the cuff

Included in this knitting kit:

  • 8 (9) 10 (10), 11 (11) 11 (12), 13 (14) 15 (16) skeins of undyed Mendip DK in the main colour
  •  2 (2) 2 (2), 2 (2) 2 (2), 3 (3) 3 (3) skeins of hand dyed Mendip DK in the contrasting colour

The sample shown uses the Sheep (Sunny) and Sky (Sunny) colour combination.
