HOW DO I BEGIN? WHERE DO I START? (A therapeutic whisper to the new knitter)

Whimsy NECK WRAP • This lovely, light, mesh-style wrap is sure to make you feel luscious. It is an asymmetrical rectangular shape and has been knitted holding 2 strands together throughout, using an 8 ply/DK and 4 ply Mohair. It also features teensy tassels through the body as a finishing touch.

Little Trees BABY CARDIGAN & BEANIE

‘50s Shades of DECOR • There’s no reason why Mid-century Modern has to stop at architecture and furniture. Handmade accessories such as these knitted, buttoned cushions set the 1950s scene perfectly.

Coral VEST • This vest has a simple slip-stitch knit pattern, with a garter stitch armhole detail and turn-down polo-neck collar. It is worked in two identical pieces front and back with a small amount of seaming.

Twinkle HAND WARMERS • These stylish hand warmers feature a twisted rib and honeycomb stitch, which create texture and interest. Add your choice of yarn and colour and they have the potential to be a statement piece. This pattern is perfect for those beginner knitters looking to explore new stitches in a quick and simple project.

Trapeze COWL • Showcase a beautiful gradient yarn using this simple, yet cleverly constructed, cowl. Formed in a spiral that is joined to the last tier as it is knitted, this is a great pattern to learn and practise how to knit backwards to save you from turning your work!

SOCKS UP • A journey to sock knitting and beyond

Autumn Lace KNITTED SHAWL • This simply constructed knitted shawl / wrap has a left vertical border of three garter stitches, followed by a one-stitch little plait. Horizontally, the shawl increases in size on the right edge and right side of the repeats on the four row Diagonal Lace, followed by one four-row pattern of Stocking Stitch with Garter Ridge. The number of four-row Diagonal Lace repeats decreases by one as the shawl lengthens.

Basketweave THROW • No point pretending it’s not happening … the weather is so changeable lately and you may need to rug up at a moment’s notice. So put a match to those fireplace logs, brew up some cocoa and snuggle down under this toasty knitted throw. Bliss!
