This book is a love letter to the Scottish coasts where Rebecca Clow has lived all her life. The collection features 12 garments and 6 accessories that draw inspiration from traditional ganseys and Scotland’s rich knitting heritage, combining creativity with practical warmth. Designed for brisk sea breezes and rolling coastal mist, these knits make incredibly cosy, versatile wardrobe staples.

Each design reflects Rebecca’s deep connection to the sea, its shifting textures and quiet calm. Rebecca’s treasured memories of Scottish harbour towns and sailing trips to wind-swept isles with her grandparents are evoked by each pattern, giving them a rich sense of story and place.

Rebecca Clow, @the.creabea, has been one of the most beloved knitwear designers in the global knitting community since the release of her first sweater pattern, Cargill, in 2022. She is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and when she is not designing or knitting, she enjoys walking her dogs along the beach, reading fantasy novels and drinking too much coffee. Shorelines: Knits from Scottish Coasts is Rebecca’s first knitting book.
