Brighten your day with colour & lace

The new book from Kate Davies, called

Inkling, is filled with the creative, elegant stitch patterns and wearable shapes we’ve come to expect from this popular designer.

The 11 projects for women include a pullover with an intricate colourwork yoke, and a steeked cardigan called ‘Land O’ Cakes’ which plays with corrugated ribbing patterns.

Delicate lace adds a touch of beauty to the ‘Con Alma’ long vest top, and the ‘Yorlin’ top-down cardigan. ‘Treit’ is a cropped design with a lace yoke which can be knitted as a short-sleeved top or as a sweater.

Accessory designs include a lace shawl, colourwork hats and mittens. There are also four simple weaving projects to try. £20 from www.shopkdd.com
