TONN
{Irish: waves}

Make waves with this unexpected take on the traditional Breton pullover. Bringing together the rustic and the nautical, Tonn makes use of a modified lace technique to create a closed fabric ripple motif.

As shown in the photos, you can make different versions of the Tonn pullover using this one pattern: Aside from the ‘dense waves’ and ‘open waves’ options, instructions are provided for creating sleeves with subtly puffed, as well as standard, sleeve caps.

The wave motifs are charted, with accompanying written instructions.

A schematic with detailed measurements is provided.
