GARLAND + AUTUMN 2024
We are thrilled to be embarking on our first pattern collections outside of our books and magazines! We are partnering with an exciting brand on this selection of patterns, which will be curated, photographed, and styled by Pom Pom. We are currently commissioning for two collections:
COLLECTION 1: GARLAND
The loose jumping off point for this collection is the word garland. Evoking images of celebration, decoration, and beauty, the concept of a garland serves as a symbolic thread that will tie together each piece in the collection. We are looking for both garments and accessories that call to mind this theme, but welcome designs that do or do not interpret it literally. The palette of this collection is inspired by desaturated paintings, vintage tiles, and lovingly worn textiles, and we are looking for designs that are both warm and modern. Please note: All patterns for this collection must be designed using a DK yarn. This is a yarn-specific collection using an alpaca cotton blend.

COLLECTION 2: AUTUMN 2024
This collection is the most open call we've ever produced and we are looking for knit and crochet pieces that will work in a transitional season; layering garments are perfect, and accessories are especially welcome! We are looking for designs that are genius in their simplicity or that push the boundaries of what we expect from knitting or crochet.
Please submit your ideas for either collection before midnight BST on Sunday 21st April 2024. If your design has been selected, you will be notified by late April/early May. We are collecting submissions for both collections in one place, so your design will be considered for both.
Happy swatching!
