I’ve already placed an order for this super popular book so any orders placed after 27th Oct will be part of the second print run due in early / mid December.
This book is a love letter to the Scottish coasts where Rebecca Clow has lived all her life. The collection features 12 garments and 6 accessories that draw inspiration from traditional ganseys and Scotland’s rich knitting heritage, combining creativity with practical warmth. Designed for brisk sea breezes and rolling coastal mist, these knits make incredibly cosy, versatile wardrobe staples.
Each design reflects Rebecca’s deep connection to the sea, its shifting textures and quiet calm. Rebecca’s treasured memories of Scottish harbour towns and sailing trips to wind-swept isles with her grandparents are evoked by each pattern, giving them a rich sense of story and place.
