Sasha Kagan Book Offers

‘The Classic Collection’, published in May 2011. It has been great fun taking iconic designs from 1969 onwards and making a selection of timeless, wearable hand-knits that I hope will continue on into the next decade to be long term favorites! Some of the early designs such as Scotty, Prowling Cat, Mosaic and Navy Spot are knitted using the original 4-ply Shetland wool, which is still being spun 40 years later by Jamieson and Smith in the Shetland Islands. Other designs have been re-worked and take advantage of the new soft luxury fibres produced by Rowan Yarns, such as Kid Classic, Siena 4-ply cotton and Silky Wool DK. Together with the patterns, I have commissioned essays from leading industry professionals, which not only make interesting reading, but puts the designs in a historical and cultural context for all you fibre fans.

‘Knitting for Beginners’. A unique spiral-bound book with a stand-up format for easy hands-free reading. With everything you need to know to produce beautiful knitted garments and home accessories. It has easy-to-follow step-by-step photographs and instructions for every stitch and technique. A glossary of decorative stitch and colour patterns and 12 exciting projects form a graduated knitting course. The eye-catching designs in stunning full-colour encourage the more confident knitter to create unique designs of their own.

The book ‘Knitwear by Sasha Kagan’ contains 22 classic hand-knit garments, all with Sasha's signature use of design, colour and texture, offering a very wearable group of timeless pieces for the handknitter to make and enjoy. Includes alternative colour ways, extensive techniques section and her designer secrets!

All Books can be ordered here.
