A comfortable, throw-on cape. There's no real 'front' to the Inklines cape—there's a different part of design on each side.

In fact...you can also wear the cape with the 'sides' to the front and back! This gives quite a different neckline. The pattern is interesting at the edges, and accentuated if worn in this style (see sunrise yellow colourway images).

Design

In the Inklines cape, the block section of pattern is derived from the outline of the archaeological dig site at Ness of Brodgar, Orkney.

Inspiration and design process: drawing time in knitwear

The Inklines textile design is taken from an ink drawing of time, inspired by a visit to the archaeological excavations at Ness of Brodgar, Orkney.

A simple, inked 'timeline' has been developed to create a pattern of overlapping shapes and negative space—a response to the term deep time.
