Homeground Knitting Pattern Collection
The oldest form of knitting, crossed knitting, was highly
developed by the Nazca culture in
South America around 100 BC. They
used this knitting style to produce
intricate and decorative fringing
and borders on other garments, even
on shoes. These often depicted
human and animal figures. The
knitting fibre they used was, of
course, alpaca.
With the recent resurgence in the art
of hand knitting many experienced and
new knitters are producing luxurious
hand-knitted garments which are both
a delight to make and to wear.
The textures and colours of our knitting yarns work from the simplest, unstructured patterns to the more traditional Aran, also featured in this collection. Alpacas softness, lightness and warmth will reward you with comfortable and elegant garments for years to come.
We think you will find the knitting patterns
in this book easy to use with a mixture
of the straight forward and the more
challenging.
We have aimed to provide a balance between family oriented
knitting patterns, homewares and classic knits.
