Britannia Sweater
Britannia Sweater
Do you like "The Crown" as much as I do? Then you'll love this sweater. I designed it based on the one worn by Matt Smith when he played Prince Philip. He wears it while he's sailing on the Royal Yacht Britannia as he gives his Christmas address to the nation.
The sweater is knitted with a modified fair-isle technique that requires you to carry two colors across every third row, simplifying the color work.
