Product of the Month June

Get set for summer with this Tropicana vest pattern. 

The sun is shining steadily and shows no sign of leaving, so it’s hardly a surprise that at knitshop.co.uk our thoughts have turned to summery knits. With a brand-new yarn to experiment with, we can’t wait to get our needles out and give Susan Crawford’s Tropicana vest a try. 

Tropicana by Susan Crawford

We’ve recently launched our own vintage cotton yarn range, known as Coquette. The 4ply all-cotton yarn, developed in partnership with respected knitwear author and designer Susan Crawford, is perfect for lightweight spring and summer knits. It’s also bang up to date thanks to the vogue for all things vintage and the popularity of Downton Abbey and the new Great Gatsby film. 

Tropicana knitted in Yellow Mulberry Silk Twist Yarn

Tropicana is a fantastically-detailed pear-and-trellis pattern top that offers a figure-hugging ribbed fit and falls flatteringly beneath the bust. Team it with linen trousers or a pair of shorts for a casual holiday look. Previously available as a recommended pattern for our Mulberry Silk Twist Yarn, we’ve updated Tropicana to knit using Coquette. 

Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn

This brand-new yarn knits up into garments with beautiful drape while also showing off the finest detail in your patterns. In other words, Coquette rewards you for the extra effort involved in knitting more complex designs. We think the more eye-catching shades in the 12-strong Coquette yarn range work especially well for Tropicana. If Canary yellow isn’t your colour, Aquamarine or Pumpkin will look every bit as good. 

Canary Coquette Vintage Cotton

You’ll need six skeins of Coquette and a pair of 3.25mm needles. Choose a contrasting shade of ribbon to complete the look. As if the pattern and the challenge of a new yarn weren’t enough to tempt you to get the needles clicking, we are also running an introductory offer on Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn. A 50g (125m) ball usually costs £4.95, but for a limited period we’ve discounted them to £4.45 each.

The Tropicana Vest pattern is available as an instant PDF download in versions for either Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn or Mulberry Silk Twist Yarn. Grab a copy now and make a start on your summer holiday wardrobe. Just imagine how good you’ll look in Tropicana once you’ve a tan to show off!

June Activities and Workshops

Choose from 10 knitting and crochet classes this June

If you’d like to take your knitting or crochet skills to the next level, it makes sense to use a workshop to set you on the right course. As well as helping you master a new technique, you’ll learn about common pitfalls that can throw you off course – and how to avoid them. No one likes having to unpick their work and redo it, so you may as well learn how to get it right first time. Being shown how to do something is a lot easier than following instructions in a book too. Though YouTube tutorials can help, there’s no substitute for personal tuition where you can ask questions of a professional tutor.

Julieta teaching Marcia at a knitting workshop

All of knitshop.co.uk’s classes are tutored in small groups of no more than eight. Classes progress at a pace to suit you, with all materials for a project provided. You can choose whichever colours of yarn you wish. We also offer as much post-workshop support as you need. We’ll always help out if you get stuck completing a project.

June’s workshop schedule gets under way with our knitting class for kids, Swing The Needles. This two-hour introduction to either knitting or crochet introduces under 16s to essential needlecraft techniques. They’ll learn to cast on and knit their first few rows. Using these skills they’ll be able to make their first knitted items such as a purse or mobile phone case.

We’ll also be holding our improvers’ knitting class on Saturday 1 June. Intended for anyone who knows how to knit and purl, Knitting: The Next Step covers how to increase and decrease stitches – essential techniques for making your first garments.

Sugar And Spice Ginger Pattern in Mulberry Silk Twist

Once you’ve learned how to increase and decrease you’ll be able to tackle projects such as Sugar And Spice Ginger Top, a flattering ladies’ top that hugs your curves knitted in Mulberry Silk yarn, you may remember the blog about Mulberry Silk Twist and Sugar And Spice Ginger Top. Alternatively, you could try knitting the Simply Wool Waistcoat. Our pattern is suitable for kids up to four years old. It looks great in either a single shade or the two colours of Simply Wool yarn we’ve used. Just change yarn colour at the end of the rows indicated.

We’re also holding several classes on colourwork this month. Learn about different ways of incorporating multiple colours at our dedicated Knitting With Colour class on 8 June, or focus on Fair Isle knitting on Saturday 15 June. You’ll learn how to knit a Fair Isle Wrist Warmer.

If crochet is your thing, check out our Crochet In Colour or Crochet A Coloured Square classes on 7 and 21 June. We’re also holding a special Increasing And Decreasing in Crochet workshop on Friday 14 June designed to help you move on from making granny squares to crocheting items of clothing.

Decreasing and Increasing Techniques are used for cute, little crochet items.

Once you know how to increase and decrease the number of chains on each crochet round, you’ll be able to tackle Cimasol, our brand-new summery top pattern designed especially for Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn, pattern coming soon.

knitshop yarns and British designer Susan Crawford collaborated to bring to you "Coquette". Coquette Vintage Cotton will be exhibited for the fist time at Woolfest by Susan Crawford Vintage, come and meet Julieta and Susan at Woolfest.

Simply Wool Yarn

Get felting with knitshop.co.uk Simply Wool Yarn

Simply Wool is a lovely double knit weight yarn made from nothing but 100 percent sheep’s wool. It knits up on 3.75mm to 4.5mm needles and is ideal for whipping up cosy tops and outerwear really quickly. Just 21 stitches over 24 rows makes a 10cm tension square. Once you start knitting, your projects will grow really fast.

Simply Wool Yarn in Yellow, Purple and Ocean Blue

Each 100g ball of Simply Wool has a meterage of approx 200m, so you only need a couple of balls to mak a scarf or a jacket for a toddler. At £5.90 per ball, this means it’s pretty good value too.

The lovely yarn is used as the basis of some of knitshop.co.uk customers’ favourite patterns, including the snug Fairisle Wrist Warmer. Another great example is the Simply Stripes Kids’ Waistcoat, which uses just two skeins of Simply Wool. (or three if you’d like to use two different colours of stripe as well as the main body colour).

Kids Simply Waistcoat and Hat Pattern Set

Of course, Simply Wool lends itself to crochet too – you could make some stunning cushions with it. But where it really comes into its own is as a yarn for felting. 

Felted Bag using Simply Wool in Deep Pink and Turquoise

The process of knitting and felting is also called fulling. This simply means that the woolen fabric is shrunk and matted to a thick and solid piece. A knitted piece of woolen fabric is placed into the washing machine and the felting happens due to the friction and agitation of the wool. You can make many different items using this felting technique. Amongst those most popular are bags, slippers and hats. All you need is a 100% wool yarn or a wool blended yarn with another animal fibre that shrinks.

knitshop.co.uk's Simply Wool Yarn is perfect for fulling. 25 amazing shades are available for you to choose from, including vibrant Orange, Tomato Red, zingy Purple, Raspberry Red and Ocean Blue. Subtler shades include Cream, pure White, light Lilac and medium Grey-Aquamarine. Visit knitshop.co.uk now to view the full colour range.

Simply Waistcoat and Hat

Kids Simply Waistcoat and Hat Pattern a between-seasons cover-up

The cold weather shows no signs of departing, so we thought we’d introduce you to one of our favourite and brand new pattern for kids. The Kids Simply Waistcoat and Hat set is knitted in knitshop.co.uk Simply Wool Yarn and is a great cover up for active youngsters who can’t bear to be cooped up at home. Pop on one of these cosy tops and your kids will be kept snug but they won’t feel as though they’re bundled up in lots of layers. 

Simply Waistcoat and Hat Pattern
using Simply Wool Yarn in Dark Turquoise, Robin Egg Blue and Yellow

The Simply Stripes Kids’ Waistcoat pattern is suitable for beginner knitters as it uses just knit and purl stitches. The back doesn’t require any shaping, while the V-necked front is an easy-to-work decrease. The main body is knitted in double moss stitch, which is what gives this cosy waistcoat its interesting texture. We’ve used garter stitch for the cuff at the bottom, which provides a smart contrast to the patterned body.

The size shown here is 18-24 months.

The striped sections in our design are quite deep. If you prefer, you can use narrower stripes instead and alternate colours more frequently. Just ensure you knit the right number of rows in total. Full row-by-row instructions and images are included in the PDF pattern, so you should have no problem following along or making your own modifications. We also include suggestions of how to customise the jacket with a wooden buttons, crochet edging and an optional 3 needle cast off.

The striped Simply Waistcoat and Hat pattern comes in four sizes: 12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2-3 years and 3-4 years. We’ve used Dark Turquoise, Robin Egg Blue and Yellow Simply Wool Yarn for the boys’ version of the tank top. For a more feminine colour combination you might like to try Deep Pink, Purple and Aquamarine. The yarn comes in a choice of 26 shades, so you should have no trouble finding a trio you like. 

knitshop.co.uk Simply Wool Yarn is made from nothing but sheep’s wool (knitshop.co.uk prides itself on selling only natural fibre yarns) and knits to a 18 stitches by 32 rows to 10cm tension on 4.5mm needles over double moss stitch pattern. Simply Wool Yarn comes in 100g skeins of 200m. If you’re following our example, you will need one ball of each of the three colours you’ve chosen. However, you could simply choose a single shade, in which case you’ll need only two skeins in total. Watch our for the next blog with more about felting, fulling and Simply Wool.

Once you’ve finished knitting your kids’ new Simply Waistcoat and Hat, you’ll have plenty of the two contrast colour yarns left over. Want an idea of how to put it to good use? Our pretty Fair Isle Wrist Warmer pattern just happens to use two contrasting shades of Simply Wool yarn. The only other thing you’ll need is a set of 4mm double-pointed needles. So you could make some cosy gloves for yourself and a practical cover-up for your child for less than £20. What a nice reward for your knitting efforts. 

"Mum I had enough!"

Coquette Vintage Cotton

knitshop.co.uk introduces brand-new Coquette vintage cotton yarn

knitshop.co.uk has some fantastic news for lovers of all things vintage. We’ve developed our own vintage cotton yarn range in collaberation with well-known knitwear designer and historian Susan Crawford.

Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn is a 4ply cotton of the highest quality. It comes in 12 magnificent shades that accurately mimic those from the 1930s to 1950s. The colour range consists of Wine, Oyster, Canary, Flame, Highland, Pumpkin, Carnation, Old Lace, Aquamarine, Snow, Spearmint and Sapphire.

Garments knitted in Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn have wonderful drape. Patterns within each design are beautifully distinct due to the crisp and even qualities of the cotton. This means that Coquette really rewards you for tackling more complex patterns with plenty of detail. It’s perfect for lacy crochet projects too. 

"I love Susan's work, she is an inspiration and it's an honor to work with her. To bring Coquette to life means a lot to me, it's a huge value to knitshop yarns and it's a dream come true after many years of hard work. I hope we can work many more projects like Coquette." Julieta Brandao, owner and founder of knitshop.co.uk and knitshop yarns. If you want to read Susan's blog about Coquette, click here

Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn costs £4.95 per 50g ball of approximately 125m. It knits to a 4ply tension of 26 stitches and 36 rows on 3mm or 3.5mm needles.

A number of specially written patterns are available for Coquette. These include Susan Crawford’s pear and trellis pattern Tropicana, which uses six skeins of Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn. It looks especially good in Canary yellow with a contrasting bright blue ribbon.

Another wonderful vintage knit for Coquette is the textured short-sleeved Dinah’s Lacy Jumper. This uses a twisted stitch over a four-row repeat to create a loose-fitting open-weave top that is ideal for warm sunny days.

suggested yarn: Coquette in Aquamarine

Coquette patterns will be available as individual PDFs, while the complete collection can be found in Susan’s A Stitch In Time vintage pattern books.

As well as the specially written Coquette patterns, you can use Coquette for any pattern that knits to a standard 4ply tension. If you’d like some advice about whether a pattern is suitable for knitting with Coquette and how many skeins you need, we will be very happy to help.

What’s more, we are offering our gorgeous new Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn at a special introductory price of £4.45 per skein. What more incentive do you need to make a start on this year’s summery knits?

Fashions from the first half of the 20^th century are incredibly popular right now thanks to the success of Downton Abbey and Mad Men. This summer’s hotly anticipated remake of The Great Gatsby is sure to fan the flames even more.

Mulberry Silk Twist Yarn

knitshop.co.uk Mulberry Silk Twist Yarn is made of beautifully soft fibres and is ideal for garments such as vests and close-fitting tops that will be worn next to the skin. If you’re knitting for someone with delicate skin, Mulberry Silk Twist Yarn is a great choice. The fibres are naturally hypoallergenic too. 
 

This silky-soft 4ply yarn is great for springtime knits as it’s not as bulky as wool but still offers plenty of protection from the elements. Our short-sleeved fitted top, Sugar And Spice Ginger, was designed to be knitted in Mulberry Silk Twist yarn. The cap sleeves and the gently fitting drape of the yarn are a flattering combination. It even featured on the front cover of Let’s Knit magazine issue 7. Here is the previous blog about Sugar And Spice Ginger.

It knits up very evenly, the ideal yarn for delicate summer knits, lace work or vintage knitwear, it drapes beautifully due to its silky nature. The yarn is ideal for vintage knits and has been used for both A Stitch In Time Vol 1 and 2 by knitwear designer Susan Crawford. 

Our selection of 15 shades includes Teal, Ice Blue, Navy Blue, Gold-Yellow, Pale Pink, Silver-White and Black. Silver-White and Black have been featured in the pattern Cryscelle, front cover picture of A Stitch In Time Vol 2.

May knitting and crochet workshops

knitshop.co.uk has a full workshop programme in May, with a particular emphasis on colourwork and crochet. First up on Friday 3^rd May is an Introduction to Intarsia Knitting. This technique involves changing colour partway through a row of knitting rather than simply at the end of a row. Intarsia is ideal for adding motifs into knitted designs. Before attempting intarsia knitting you will need to master knit and purl stitches.

Attendees at this workshop will be given full instructions on how to follow patterns that include elements of intarsia colourwork as well as learning how to change yarn colours so the transition looks seamless. 

Crochet fans will also have a chance to learn colour skills as we have a Crochet in Colour workshop on Saturday 11 May. At least a basic knowledge of crochet will be needed in order to get the most from our Colour Crochet workshop.

and how to work the ends into your crochet.

If you haven’t yet learned how to crochet, or need a bit of help creating double and treble crochets, our Beginners’ Crochet class on 24 May is just for you. As with all our classes, full instructions and materials are provided and we are happy to offer advice on projects you undertake using the techniques you learn in our classes.

With the May half-term coming up at the end of the month, you might want to consider our Swing The Needles kids’ knitting class on Saturday 25 May. A Beginners’ Crochet class aimed at kids is being held on May 31. Adults are also welcome to attend either of these classes. 

Halloween Kids Knitting Workshop,
October half term.

Knitters looking for a new challenge may also be interested in our two-part Toe-Up SockKnitting class. Taking place on consecutive Fridays, this fun class shows you how to create your first pair of socks. Part I covers casting on and working increases while knitting in the round. Part II shows you how to shape the heel. You may find it easier to master sock knitting if you’ve already tried knitting in the round, but really only need to know how to knit and purl.

We’ve got eight shades of sock yarn for you to choose from. Once you started knitting socks, many people find they can’t stop. The great news is we also sell Cotton Plied Wool yarn, which knits to a similar tension and comes in a range of plain and variegated colours. So there’s no excuse if sock knitting turns out to be ‘your thing’.

All knitshop.co.uk classes take place between 11am and 1pm at our outlet boutique at 326 Lee High Road, London SE13 5PJ. Classes cost £15 each per adult and £10 per child under 16.
