Patricia Roberts Collection

by Patricia Roberts

Patricia Roberts Collection combines two earlier books, Patricia Roberts Knitting Book and Patricia Roberts Second Knitting Book to form a treasury of her exclusive designs, all knitted in her own range of yarns. Each pattern has detailed instructions and is stylishly photographed in full colour. There is also a how to knit section which has been specially illustrated by Connie Jude. Included are Patricia Roberts' now-famous patchworks and Argylls, the classic grapes and cherries design, also adapted for children, her picture patterns, and the more traditional Fair Isles. Patricia Roberts Collection is the ultimate in hand knitting.

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.
