  • a dreamy-soft sweater with a lacework yoke;
  • a cable-twist detail tee;
  • an impressive space-dyed Fair Isle coatigan with a belted waist;
  • and a variety of cosy hats, shawls, and mittens, all with fabulous textures and colours, so you can accessorise in style.

The patterns, ideal for confident knitters and adapted by Novita Yarns' talented designers, Minna Metsanen and Linda Permanto, are created in up to six sizes each, and feature all the charts, sizing diagrams, and inspirational photography needed to make the knitting process simple.
