    Echoes

    • Sayer is inspired by the character of Rose Sayer from the movie The African Queen, played by Katharine Hepburn. The primness of the character was cleverly emphasised by her high-necked Victorian-style blouse, with a layered, deep ruffled yoke. The shape of the blouse is reflected in this turtleneck sweater, with bands of coloured slip stitches replacing the lacy ruffles. Sayer is knitted in a heavy worsted-weight yarn, and the extra-long sleeves have a soft fullness to them. The sweater is worked from the top down. The work is divided at the underarm with the body and sleeves knitted separately.

      Sayer is knitted using Susan Crawford Wold Worsted

      Sayer is shown here in two colour ways.
      Colourway One uses shades:
      Limestone, Trefusis, Foley, Swimming Pool, Tannin, Fitzroy and Orlando.

      Colourway two uses shades:
