The Knitter

Studio Linen Collection 2017

- by Erika Knight Individual PDF patterns cost £4 each from www.ravelry.com/designers/erika-knight

Erika Knight has created a range of striking contempora­ry patterns to showcase her Studio Linen yarn. Asymmetric shapes and details and deconstruc­ted textures abound, inspired by the Japanese dyeing technique of Shibori. This is also reflected in the four new colours in the Studio Linen range, which mimic the subtle hues of indigo dye.

Designs include a cardigan with an asymmetric front and patch pocket detail, called ‘Tuareg’. ‘Footloose’ has a sweatshirt feel, with its extra-wide shape and longer back; ‘Pagoda’ continues the relaxed theme, with its loose shape and ladder stitch details.

The ‘Bluebird’ vest has asymmetric­al bands and a subtle diagonal stitch pattern, and would be perfect for layering. There’s also a classic V-neck jumper, and a men’s sweater with external seams.

Studio Linen blends 85% recycled linen with 15% premium natural linen, and has excellent stitch definition and a soft sheen.
