…and welcome to another of our curated specials! This time we’re showcasing gardens and floral delights to tempt your needles

Gardening and knitting are two of our readers’ favourite pastimes, so what better combination than knits with a gardening theme! Handcrafted creations for gardeners make thoughtful gifts, and with a year spent appreciating the outdoors, we’ve put together a gardening collection to inspire you. Browsing through the pages of our Gardening Special you’ll find a stunning stargazer lily tea cosy from Tea Cosy Folk – knitted in those true-to-life bright shades, it makes a brilliant talking point. Next up, you’ll discover Dario Tubiana’s delicate floral T-shirt

– it comes with a pretty flower border and is a great reason to try out simple embroidery. Or perhaps you’ll be tempted by Amanda Berry’s butterfly wreath, or Siân Brown’s cushions? Both make a cheery tribute to our love of cultivating (and enjoying) the fruits of our garden labour!

Wishing you lots of flower-inspired knitting this summer and beyond…
