Description
Little Rowan Explorers - 11 Designs for children aged 3 - 8 years | Martin Storey
A collection of knitting patterns that even the most stubborn child will want to wear!
This is a collection designed to suit the tastes of boys or girls, simply change the colour scheme, and maybe which side the buttons should be on.....
There are a variety of styles and levels of difficulty included, from a basic tank top to an Intarsia sweater, with a few wonderful accessories included as smaller, quick projects to use up the stash or to practice techniques on.
The garments focus on 4 Rowan yarns, each full of colour and variety so there is no need to stick to one colour pathway when there are a number to explore!
The yarns included are SoftYak Dk, a blend of 76% cotton, 15% Yak and 9% nylon, soft and silky to the touch.
Handknit Cotton, a traditional slighly combed 100% cotton, durable and endearing
Summerlite 4ply, a soft lightweight cotton with a matte finish. Very popular
Summerlite Dk, a thicker version of the Summerlite 4ply. A trsditional Dk which likes 3.75 mm needles to give a perfect Dk tension.
This is, like so many of Martin Storeys books a real joy to look at and one to keep for any little explorers that may come your way!
