Ocean-inspired knits never go out of style – from striped sailor sweaters to seaside-themed accessories and coastal homewares, these timeless designs remain summer favourites. This short nautical jumper is knitted in classic blue and cream, featuring a simple slip stitch pattern that’s both stylish and beginner-friendly. Ideal for warmer weather, this summer jumper knitting pattern has a loose, relaxed fit that makes it perfect for layering when the sea breeze gets a bit too enthusiastic.
