About this product

Product Information

Wrap up in style, the Northern way. In Knitting from the North, Hilary Grant - who lives in Orkney, at the very north of Scotland, closer to Norway than London - has translated her most popular patterns from her luxury Scottish knitwear range into 30 colourful hand-knitting projects - hats, mittens, scarves and jumpers - to keep your hands warm and spirits high. Simple, clean shapes ensure that pattern and colour are at the forefront, creating modern yet timeless designs. Each project follows a pattern with a mitten, hat and scarf variation for a whole winter collection of accessories. Hilary also shares her inspiration behind the patterns, expert tips on finishing, as well as advice on colour and selecting yarns that enhance the lustre of the natural fibres, while inspirational photography provides a window on life at 59 North. Hilary runs her knitwear company from her studio in Orkney. Since 2011 she has been designing winter accessories: hats, mittens and scarves, sending these out to independent boutiques, department stores and customers all over the world, from London to Tokyo.

  • Lovely photos with easy and inspiring projects - great for gifts

    A really lovely book - excellent photographs and great patterns. Soft cover and nice table top book. Great for beginners and experienced knitters alike. Mostly two tone knitting - and really wonderful projects like cowls, hats , berets and mittens for gifts. The instructions call for shetland wools - but the projects are also nice in baby alpaca ! I recommend this book, especially if you tend to collect these fair isle and nordic styles.

  • Wonderfully inspiring

    I follow the author on Instagram. Her patterns are gorgeous. I don't know if I'll ever tackle one but I love looking at the photos and taking inspiration from her colour choices.

    I am new to knitting, but found this book very informative giving easy to understand instructions, enabling me to knit my first hat and fingerless gloves. Very pleased with the finished items. Would thoroughly recommend this book to newbies like myself as well as more advanced knitters

  • As new condition, slightly disappointed ...

    As new condition, slightly disappointed that many of the colourwork motifs are repeated over several patterns, a bit more variety would have been good, but overall a nice book to dip into as and when. Lovely photographs and the patterns look to be very clearly written.
