We had a brilliant time at Knit Nation. There will be more about that once we know the final amount raised.

We launched a brand new pattern at Knit Nation. Stina is a gorgeous sideways knit baby kimono designed and generously donated to p/hop by the talented Åsa Tricosa. (designer of the beautiful Dido Shawl) who we were lucky enought to meet on Friday.

Instructions are given for two sizes, 0-3 months and 9-12 months, and uses two colours of double knit yarn plus a small amount of a third colour for the contrast triangle. Stina uses an unusual construction method and comprehensive instructions guide you through the process.

We’re now busy getting ready for UK Knit Camp in Stirling so if you are coming to that please come and say hello. We’ve got two lovely samples of Stina (one of which I was modelling at Knit Nation, wishing I was small enough to fit into it) as well as many of our other patterns you can have a look at. We’re looking forward to seeing you there.

Despite all our best pattern checking efforts we noticed an omission on the paper copies of Stina at Knit Nation. All the pattern is worked on 4mm needles except for the i-cords which are worked on 3.5mm DPNs. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please feel free to download an updated version of the pattern. Thank you.
