The knitter loves

SUMMER LIGHTS

Sophisticated, dreamy garments showcased in black and white fill the pages of Kim Hargreaves’ new pattern book, Ravish.

Silhouettes are decidedly contemporary throughout the collection, and include ‘Effi’, a square-necked jumper which uses textured panels for a feminine, bodice-like fit. ‘Sofi’ has a nod to late-1940s glamour, while the ‘Laya’ jumper, knitted in Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze, looks spectacular with its plunging V-neck and puffed sleeves. Also using Kidsilk Haze is a draping, open cardigan with an eyelet pattern.

Lace stitches and bobbles combine on two soft sweaters knitted in cotton and linen. Kim has also designed a soft vest top with a fluted hem, mesh jumpers, and batwing cardigans.
