Pouch Cove

Pouch Cove

Pouch Cove ~ pronounced “pooch” cove ~ is a fun camisole full of detail by blending textures, colours, and techniques. There are cables, lace, bobbles, Fair Isle, and even welts. It’s knit top down, with welts and overlapping fabric in the back to highlight the transition between the lace patterning. Increases are worked along the back edge of each side, giving a bias fabric at the sides that results in a flattering drape and shape. Wear under a blazer, a cardigan, or on its own whilst beachcombing for little marine treasures!
