Nautical Style to Knit & Crochet

We love the seaside and all things nautical! There’s something about being by the sea that blows away the cobwebs and worries and makes life seem simpler. It’s also a great playground for the little ones to burn off their never-ending energy, giving you time to sit back and relax and enjoy the sounds of the sea.

We’ve found some of our favourite nautical patterns, some practical makes for a day out and some to bring the wonderful seaside to your home! From beach hut tea-cosies to stripy jumpers.

We hope that you enjoy our selection!
