Truly Myrtle - Urchin

TrulyOn the days you want to feel relaxed and fabulous, reach for Urchin.

Exuding understated grace, Urchin is oh-so-comfy and ideal for wearing over summery trousers, cute shorts and pretty skirts.

Her simple scooped neck and easy shape are flattering for a wide range of bodies, and her special details give Urchin a deliciously feminine feel, without any fuss.

Knitted from the top down, and incorporating subtle lace – making her perfect to wear without an extra layer underneath, Urchin is a quick and uncomplicated knit.

She’s a great project for new garment knitters, as well as experienced knitters looking for a soothing knit, and a fast finish.

Try her in linen and cotton blends for a super-summery feel, or experiment with warmer yarns for an elegant layer when the weather cools.
