Mode at Rowan Holme & Sandringham Knitting Pattern – Sweater & Skirt Set
The Holme & Sandringham pattern by Quail Studio for Mode at Rowan is a sophisticated two-piece set combining a textured sweater with a fitted ribbed skirt.
Holme is a cabled jumper featuring raglan shaping and a central cable panel framed by moss stitch, creating a structured yet elegant look. Sandringham is a ribbed skirt worked in the round from the waistband, designed with elastic encased at the waist for a secure and comfortable fit.
Together, they form a coordinated outfit that blends classic knitting techniques with a modern, wearable silhouette.
