Purl & Jane Birbeck Jumper
£4.50
Birbeck Jumper - Purl & Jane by Jane Ellison
This lovely jumper uses very simple rib and cable patterns but the design makes them look more complicated than they really are. This is one of the best things about knitting: simple stitches used in simple patterns can create beautiful effects. And if fancied this in an adult size then…ta dah!

Purl & Jane Bradley Tank Top
£4.50
Bradley Tank Top - Purl & Jane by Jane Ellison
This is the Bradley Tank Top, a simple colourwork tank top. It uses the simple slip stitch technique so you are only ever using one colour in the row. It is worked in pieces and then sewn together.
I like to give names to my patterns that relate to the pattern in some way. For me this simple slip stitch pattern remains me of brickwork. So I looked in to the history of brick making in Yorkshire and found there was a Victorian company from Wakefield that specialised in manufacturing braickmaking machinery. They were called Bradley & Craven Ltd.
The pattern includes two lengths, cropped (like the one in the images) or longer.

Hunter Hammersen Curls 3: Versatile, Wearable Wraps to Knit at Any Gauge
£19.99
Curls 3: Versatile, Wearable Wraps to Knit at Any Gauge - Hunter Hammersen
Curls are marvelously flexible, wearable wraps that work with any weight of yarn, can be knit at any gauge, and look beautiful at any size.
Knit them small and wear them as a cowl. Keep going to make a scarf. Do a bit more, and you've got a shawl. They form a wonderfully curved shape that drapes beautifully around your neck and shoulders and can be worn in lots of different ways.
Use your favourite yarn, and knit at whatever gauge gives you the fabric you like best. You're in charge, you can't mess it up, and you're going to love the result!
One small note, the structure of these pieces lends itself much better to charted instructions than to written out instructions. So please be aware that all the patterns use charts. If you're new to charts, never fear. There is a lovely introduction to using charts at the front of the book. Read through it, and you'll be ready to go in no time!

The Crochet Project Everyday Wearables
£18.00
Everyday Wearables - The Crochet Project
A collection of eight crochet garments and accessories.
Maybe it's the somewhat shy exhibitionist in me, but I have always loved making things to wear. The thrill of being able to say "Thanks, I made it." never gets old. When times have been tight or shopping has been an unpleasant process (for various reasons) I've been glad of my ability to combine my favourite leisure activities with the ability to produce interesting and elegant clothing for myself whether by sewing, knitting or crocheting.
Whatever your motivation for wanting to create a handmade wardrobe, crochet can readily be used to build a wardrobe full of wearable staples. Often crochet has been viewed as "best for homewares and novelties" and struggled to lose the reputation created in the 1970s of ill-fitting granny square jackets. With an in-depth understanding of how crochet fabric is created, the need for drape and taking fit and construction lessons from both knitwear and dressmaking, I have created pieces that fit well and look great.
We understand that making a wardrobe may also challenge your skills. We have included a series of photo tutorials in the book that take the adventurous beginner a step on and cover the skills needed to create beautiful pieces to cherish.
