Sea Aster Sweater Kit Featuring Clarendon Sock by Townhouse Yarns

Designed by the brilliant Zanete Knits, this sweater is a celebration of colourwork, texture and detail, with intricate motifs on the cuffs and hems.
⁠
Made even more special with a custom-dyed contrast colour on Townhouse Yarns Clarendon Sock, the shade is inspired by the delicate Sea Aster wildflower that blooms along Ireland’s coastline. Jenny has captured its soft purple tones beautifully in this new colourway. 

About the Sea Aster Sweater

The Sea Aster Sweater is all about technique and texture, featuring stranded colourwork with the added refinement of the Ladderback Jacquard technique. This clever approach keeps floats tidy and even, making the delicate motifs on the yoke look effortlessly polished. If you're new to it, don’t worry—designer @zaneteknits has created a video demo to guide you through the process!

Beyond the colourwork, this design is packed with other techniques that will make you fall in love with knitting all over again—like Japanese short rows for beautifully shaped shoulders and a tubular bind-off for that perfect, professional finish. Whether you're looking to expand your skills or simply enjoy a satisfying knit, the Sea Aster Sweater is an absolute joy from start to finish.
