Esther Scarf

The Esther scarf knitted in a “fishing net” open work stitch in Italy using 100% certified British wool. This piece is named after Esther Nurse, a prominent Gansey knitter from Sheringham during the first half of the 20th century.

Women didn’t wear the jumpers they knitted but they always had a hand-made shawl which they wore to church on a Sunday, this piece is inspired by these patterns. The Esther scarf is a light weight, extra-long scarf which can be wrapped several times.
