Punakaiki rocks, and their amazing, layered pancake form inspired this garter stitch pattern. Starting as a hand-knit sample it is translated into a digitally knit textile.

Knit Shepherd's designs take inspiration from the natural world of Aotearoa. The patterns are inspired by locations throughout the motu and the colours names reference our native fauna. All Knit Shepherd designs are produced locally, employing a low-waste process.
