About the author

Considered the first British designer to elevate hand knitting to the realms of high fashion. Produced the first pattern books styled and photographed like a fashion magazine. At the forefront of the knitting revolution of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The early Patricia Roberts books inspired many of the UK hand-knitters of the early 1980s to take up their needles - including Kaffe Fasset.

Reviews

[Ligaya · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is less kooky than Patricia Roberts' first knitting book but still full of fun, exuberant, and inventive designs – over 40 of them. Some designs are even downright classic (Brownie)! The shoulders on some of these designs don't necessarily fit on the shoulder and the color patterning is often wild or just weird. There are charts for the color work and many designs also have schematics, so if you wanted to change the garment shape, you could more easily. Type is teeny!
