“We’re focusing on children this month and we’ve a great new selection of free knitting patterns for kids. Our patterns include classic designs such as the V-neck cardigan created by Kim Hargreaves for Rowan, and the cotton cable jumper. In the right colours, both patterns would be suitable for girls or boys.

If you’re looking for something a bit quirky, try knitting our free Patons knitting pattern for a lacy vest top. It’s made in Patons Morocco, a sunny self-striping yarn with texture and great colour combinations.

Our final pattern is something special – a designer tunic embellished with ribbon and crochet circles. Rather a work of art actually!”
