ERIKA KNIGHT - NEW Junior Colour Knits
Junior Colour Knits
is a brand new pattern book of 12 jumpers, jackets, pinafores and vests, hats
and leggings and even a little ‘scrap bandit’ toy, all knitted in simple
stitches and using colour techniques including striping, stranding and Swiss
embroidery.
Projects featuring British blue, fur and maxi wools
from the Erika Knight yarn collection.
Erika Knight has published more than 20 books on
knitting and crocheting and with her ‘simple’ ethos, Erika has a unique
interpretation of craft: her mission is to simplify and communicate her insight
and passion for knitting and crochet with accessible and enticing projects in
order to inspire everyone to experiment and above all enjoy creating.
Having launched her own eponymous yarn collection
Erika is determined to support British manufacturing and share her unwaveringly
held belief in the importance of treading lightly on the earth and celebrating
traditional skills and sustainable resources.
The
process of putting this book together has been very hands-on and hand-made
combining digital media with real drawings and cut and paste, providing a
‘sneak-peek’ into the creative process and the very personal journey of making
a garment for a loved little one. This book is all about having fun with your
knitting, inspiring you to be confident with colour and create projects that
kids will want to wear again and again.
Made
and photographed by Mums and Dads and worn by real kids from our extended urban
family to inspire you to re-knit, re-colour and re-work these fresh, contemporary
classics for the next hand-me down generation.
Knitters are encouraged to be inspired, to have a go
and to share their
projects on social media with us #juniorcolourknits @knightkraft
