Blending furrowed ribbing, flowing cables, and smooth stockinette, the Tidemark Pullover pattern—designed by Océane LM for Purl Soho—captures waves curling to the shore and rushing back again, leaving polished sand in their wake. With its subtle texture and heathered depth, Linen Quill lends a beautifully nuanced quality that feels as effortless as the tide itself.
- A creative (and reversible!) seamless design with sleeves and yoke knit sideways, you start at the right cuff, knitting the sleeve in the round, then you work flat to shape the shoulders and neckline before returning to the round for the left sleeve. To finish, you pick up stitches under the bust and knit the stockinette body in the round.
- Elevated details truly make their mark: elegant sleeves shaped just so; a thoughtfully identical cast on and bind off at the cuffs; undulating cables that mirror each other across the arms; and a bit of double knitting at the bottom hem that makes the edge lie flat without ribbing.
- Cast on with Linen Quill, our uniquely appealing fingering-weight yarn spun from three beloved fibers in perfect balance. Andean highland wool beautifully articulates every stitch; lustrous alpaca gives the fabric a soft drape; and a hint of linen adds a slight rustic texture and fascinating depth of color.
Pick from Linen Quill’s vast palette of 70+ colors, drawing from nature’s endless variety and complexity... Feel the gentle pull of each new stitch as Linen Quill’s beauty carries you along!
