Aspin Hat by Luidmyla Hefny

The short-row variations and textures of the hat are highlighted in changing shades, echoing the movement of light across the surface of water. Hat is made flat, in panels working up from ribbing to crown and back down to ribbing to produce strips. Repeating panels are connected as you go.

As Far as the Eye Can Sea by Dario Tubiana

Drawing inspiration from the contrast of humanity’s warmth set against the vastness of nature, Dario Tubiana has seamlessly merged the eternal appeal of a unisex cosy jumper with the contemporary brilliance of oversized, attention-grabbing chevron blocks. The result is a union of colour and comfort that leads from towering, mountainous rocks to the gentle green undulations of waves, and from the turquoise embrace of calm estuaries to the limitless expanse of the deep blue ocean.

Each chevron block tells the tale of a different horizon. Your knitting will transport you to a multitude of seascapes, painting the changing face of nature with every stitch.

With harmonious interplay of textures and tones, the variegated shades of TRUTH echo the dance of light seen on a tranquil summer evening. The hues shift and blend like changing foliage, creating a visual ode to he beauty of transition. HOPE takes centre stage in the subtle balloon sleeves, mirroring the intense, comforting hues of the season.

Whitecaps Wrap by Yiğitcan Vatansever

Through the intricate movements of the brioche technique, this rectangular wrap becomes a fluid embodiment of dynamic energy, much like the ebb and flow of waves reaching their crescendo as foam-topped crests. In a symphony of colour and geometric brilliance, designer Yiğitcan Vatansever weaves together the evocative variegation of TRUTH with a semi-solid shade of HOPE, creating a breathtaking accessory.

The shawl’s remarkable length and exquisite drape show off the interchanging diagonals and interlocking patterning to their best advantage, cementing the illusion of an organic exploration of movement and motion.

Lynne Rowe’s design celebrates mindfulness in the process of making, being in the present moment and trusting what is to come. Little strips of simple colourwork add interest to the toe-up construction and forethought wedge heel, reminiscent of little green shoots of new life. This pattern radiates a symbolic sense of optimism, excitement, and joy for the future!

Sky Park Socks by Lynne Rowe

Stride into the space where urban flair and nature’s indomitable spirit meet with this appealing pair. More than an accessory, they’re a fusion of the cool grey tones of cityscapes and the vibrant, energetic greens of park life. Lynne Rowe’s top-down socks mirror the journey they represent; the colour narrative starts with gardens and moves on to city architecture, exploring nature’s presence within the concrete jungle. The practicality supplied by the eye of partridge heel resembles the resilience of plants and animals that adapt to our urban terrain. A design that assimilates the symbiotic relationship between fashion, city and nature.
