Sarah Hatton ~ Simple Shapes Fine Art & Fine Lace

“This Simple Shapes brochure would perhaps be better named as Playing With Shapes as all the designs take scarves and shawls beyond the boring rectangle!”

This collection of 8 designs by Sarah Hatton caught my eye immediately. First because I love both yarns used in this collection Rowan Fine Art and Fine Lace. Both yarns are so versatile and lovely to knit with and in my opinion both yarns are underestimated. Therefore I was also really happy to see Dervla a design by Lisa Richardson in the Rowan Knitting & Crochet Magazine 58 using Fine Art. Second because Sarah Hatton not only used simple stitches but also played with shapes and encourages everyone to go off the beaten path.

I love this series of Simple Shapes and this time I will knit some designs of this brochure for sure.

Let’s have a closer look to the designs now.

Erioca

Sarah Hatton ~ Panama

Peter Candid Allegorie des Sommers

Somewhere on the world it is summer and this collection of 8 designs by Rowan Designer Sarah Hatton is made for this season all of us love so much.

The collection is featuring Rowan Panama, a blend of cotton, linen and viscose. It has a fantastic drape and a brilliant sheen. It is a joy to knit with. A great yarn for summer season.

Simple Shapes Panama includes cardigans, shawls and relaxed sweaters. Simple yet on trend!

Don’t miss the opportunity to win a copy of this brochure by Sarah Hatton at the end of this post!

Wander

Wander

Knit this a relaxed top with raglan sleeves in the round from the bottom up, the sleeves are joined in to build a raglan yoke.

This is one of my favourite techniques, because the finishing process is much easier! No setting in sleeves and a minimum of sewing.

Wander is a great project for the knitter, who wants to practice knitting in the round.
