Bold shades for cheerful knits

Dazzle and delight your loved ones!

Bright young things

Knitting with poster-paint hues can certainly

cheer up a drizzly January day! Whether you’re

working on a pattern for a toy or a sweater to

keep your tiny tot cosy, we suggest having a

peek at the shade range before going for the

suggested hue. We bet baby will be delighted

with a cuddly bear in electric blue, or a Scandi

sweater with neon zig-zags. We’re loving the

sunny yellow stripes on this cute teddy jacket

from Bergère de France, and this lace

cardie in dazzling jade from Patons.

Hooded sweater pattern, Bergère

What baby knitting trends are you

looking forward to for spring?

I’m planning some seamless designs

on yokes, with colourwork or mosaic

knitting details.

What shades will you be knitting with

in the new season?

I’ll be drawn to fresh greens and

blossom colours in spring.

What’s your favourite place to knit?

I often knit in my bay window where I

can see and be inspired by the sea.

Q&A

Sirdar’s simply stylish blankets

would look gorgeous in any

nursery. Made from Snuggly

Pattercake DK in Sherbert

Surprise and Bubbles, they’re

easy to knit and perfect for

snuggling up with while feeding

baby. There are plenty of

shades to choose from in this

soft but hardwearing yarn, from

mouthwatering Fruit Salad to

understated Blustery Grey, so

you can match it to your colour

scheme with ease.
