Celebrating the seasonal contrast between darkness and illumination, in this collection of two-tone knits, Kate Davies has created a book full of cold-weather inspiration. A trick of the light that’s only ever seen in winter is echoed in the structural motifs of Sun Pillars, while the spectacle of planetary alignment inspired allover colourwork hoody, Clanjamfrie. Kate has an abiding love of bold, rhythmic, two-tone patterns, which she explores through classic silhouettes like the Blue Monk gansey and Lilias Day yoke pullover, alongside contemporary shapes like oversized, drop-sleeved Ciar. All of these pieces are intended to be both warm and practical: why not knit a cosy smock with accommodating pockets or a deep-fronted cowl which can be squirrelled away inside a jacket and bundled up around the ears? Featuring fourteen gloriously graphic designs, and including twisted stitches and structural lace to complement Kate’s signature colourwork, you’ll be truly spoilt for choice while Making Light. 104 pp. Designed and printed here in Scotland.
