These are patterns which have stood the test of time, and are being brought back to life with updated color suggestions in line with Debbie's latest yarn shades.

The 20 patterns include lightweight garments perfect for the summer and cozy winter sweaters, jackets and hats. An illustrated techniques section will guide you through all the techniques you’ll need, and, where appropriate, there are also detailed charts. Enhanced throughout with stylish color photos, this gorgeous collection is sure to appeal to anyone knitting for babies and children.
