$54.99
In Cultivate, Dee Hardwicke and Jonna Helin come together to celebrate the beauty of everyday simplicity through the art of knitting. Featuring 20 timeless patterns, this collection blends Dee’s botanical scarves — rich with nature-inspired motifs — and Jonna’s effortless, elegant garments designed to last.
In their first collaboration, Dee and Jonna invite you to cultivate inspiration from the world around you, creating knitwear that is both elegant and profoundly beautiful. This book invites you to combine Jonna's simple and modern garments with Dee's detailed and intricate scarves.
Indulge in intermediate to advanced techniques like duplicate stitch (also known as Swiss Darning), intarsia & stranded Fair Isle colorwork. Some of the scarves are knit and then adorned with embellishments using duplicate stitch techniques while others are stranded colorwork throughout.
Dee Hardwicke is a British artist, designer and knitter whose work is deeply inspired by Britain’s ever-changing landscapes and cottage gardens. Her sketchbooks serve as a visual diary of her life, capturing the enchanting details of nature. Dee’s creativity spans multiple mediums, from knitting to collaborations with esteemed partners like the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the National Trust, where her artistic vision is brought to life through beautiful flooring, tableware and stationery.
Jonna Helin is the creative soul behind Laine Publishing. Raised in a family of crafters, she grew up listening to the rhythmic clicking of knitting needles, the soundtrack of her life.
