What Is Being Made
The Rowan Kidsilk Haze Collection comprises four distinct knitted garments designed by renowned textile artists Kaffee Fassett, Lisa Richardson, Chloe Thurlow, and Martin Storey. The collection includes Moody Blues, Noodle, Sprite, and Wild Hat + Scarf, offering a range of projects from fitted garments to accessories. These designs showcase the versatility and beauty of Kidsilk Haze yarn through carefully structured patterns suitable for knitters with intermediate to advanced skills.
Techniques Used
The garments in this collection employ several sophisticated knitting techniques. The construction method includes working pieces in one piece where applicable, which reduces finishing work and creates seamless results. Block pattern work is a central design feature, creating visual interest through carefully planned color placement and stitch sequences. The patterns demonstrate shaping through strategic increases and decreases at edges and necklines, allowing for precise garment fit. Ribbed edgings and bands provide structure and elasticity to finished pieces, particularly at cuffs, waistbands, and necklines.
Stitches Used
The collection primarily utilizes stockinette stitch (knit and purl in alternating rows) as the foundation for the block pattern designs, which allows the yarn's luster and color variations to shine prominently. Ribbing in a 2x2 pattern (knit 2, purl 2) is used extensively for fitted edges and cuffs, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional stretch. The block patterns are created through careful manipulation of yarn colors within the stockinette structure, requiring attention to color changes and pattern repeats across multiple rows and stitches.
Materials: Yarn and Needles
This collection is designed specifically for Rowan Kidsilk Haze yarn, a luxurious blend that creates delicate, lace-like fabric. The pattern includes a comprehensive color palette featuring shades such as sky, bluebell blue, poppy, bill, laguna, royal blue, violet, navy, turkish plum, peacock, turquoise, hurricane, aegean, gem, jelly, olive, anthracite, drab, campsis, ultra, bermuda, azalea, and tangerine. The patterns call for 2¾mm (US 2) needles for ribbed sections and 3¼mm (US 3) needles for the main stockinette stitch sections, allowing for proper gauge and fabric drape. The needle sizes and yarn weight combination creates a refined, flowing fabric ideal for the intricate block patterns featured throughout the collection.
