1950s Knitting - Vintage Tartan Picnic Blanket

Vintage Tartan Style Picnic Blanket

"This gorgeous knitted picnic blanket by Sian Brown uses intarsia colourwork to create a timeless tartan effect! The blanket uses Rowan Summer Tweed and Rowan All Seasons Cotton to create a rustic effect in beautiful outdoor colours. Sausage rolls, jam sandwiches, thermal flasks full of tea – there's nothing more idyllic than a picnic by the riverbank! Remember to twist your yarns together mid-row to prevent holes forming."

1950s Knitting - Fair Isle Gloves

Fair Isle Gloves

"Scholars believe the inspiration for what we think of as typical Fair Isle patterns, specifically the classic OXO pattern, came from the Baltic region. Following the tradition for Estonian gloves, Nancy Bush’s version features a limited colour palette for the pattern stitches against a solid background. Knitted in the round with full fingers for extra warmth, they're a great way of practicing your circular knitting and colourwork techniques."

1960s Crochet - Christmas Stockings

Crochet Christmas Stockings

My mum made me one of these as a child and loved it! I know Christmas in August, WHAT!! My thought is if you start one, or two of these now you will have plenty of time to have it all tucked away for when the hectic festive crafting season is upon us!

"These stockings are so full of festive cheer – and they're really easy to make! Each design uses a different granny square as a base, just play about with the colour combos. Choose from a traditional scheme or why not incorporate a splash of bright pink for a modern twist!"
