The eight patterns in Studio 26 are designed by Rowan designer Julia Frank and are inspired by the trend for tweed and relaxed, easy to wear, slouchy designs.

In its much-anticipated Fall issue, knitscene magazine brings you the coolest in fall knitting. They explore rustic outerwear, knitted lace edgings, seamless yoke constructions, and laceweight yarns. This issue is brimming with fabulous must-have knits and need-to-know technical info. Concise tutorials back up the projects, which range from beginner to intermediate, with most patterns falling in the advanced easy category. Simple cardigans and quick accessories mix with more involved projects, offering something for knitters of all skill levels.

Inspired by traditional Scandinavian colourwork and stitch patterns, it has a stylish contemporary feel, with great designs including hats and scarves, waistcoats and shrugs plus cushions throws and bags.

There are plenty of other photos on the shop website.  Have a browse and why not think about trying out some scandinavian style knitting.

With inspiration from 1950′s icons, Studio 21′s theme is desirable staples. Established stitch details in sophisticated colours using Cashsoft 4ply, DK and Baby Alpaca Cotton DK yarns combined with sleek urban silhouettes and modern details make these designs both fresh and timeless.
