Critics Review
Discover 100 fun and fabulous motifs to incorporate into your next project with this wonderful collection. They are all inspired by flowers and fruits and provide an excellent opportunity to develop your colourwork skills, as well as dabble in lace techniques.
* Let’s Knit magazine *“This beautiful book goes way beyond the 100 cute flower and fruit motifs advertised on the cover. It brings together techniques associated with knitting traditions all over the globe, from Scandinavian-style geometric patterns through Fairisle stranded colourwork to intricate Japanese textures. The book is divided into five sections of different motif types: small flowers, large flowers, fruits, borders and solid-colour patterns. But you’ll also find rabbits, teapots and more hiding among the flora.
And these aren’t just your standard colourwork motifs. You’ll also find embroidery, beading, openwork, bobbles, cables, smocking and much more. There are lots of clearly photographed technique tutorials to teach you everything you need to explore these designs, plus plenty of top tips for simplifying your colourwork knitting.
The book includes patterns showing off its motifs, many of which are made of ingenious combinations of rectangles sewn together to create garments, but which also include ways to use your favourite swatches, such as coasters and a patchwork shawl. All the patterns are written in the Japanese style using charts, making them accessible to knitters of any language. Favourite makes include a self-referential tea cosy with matching coaster, a super-cute bag adorned with coloured and textured cherries and a stunning cardigan created by the clever connection of five rectangles knitted in three different patterns that contrast and combine beautifully.”
