Tonnta Pullover
TONNTA
{Irish: waves}
Make effortless waves with this simple circular yoke pullover. The eye-catching ripple effect is achieved by combining basic increase and decrease stitches - a technique borrowed from lacework, minus the actual lace. The result will delight you with its unique look and texture. Try it in some variation of cream and navy for a classic nautical theme, or in your favourite colour combination. Alternatively, you can get out your scrap yarns and use a different colour for each ‘wave,’ creating ripples of festive whimsy.
