Robyn Chachula had many of her patterns published in books already, and this one’s a real treat because all of the designs are hers. If you like to get the most out of your yarn (and who doesn’t these days?), you’ll love the way she’s cleverly constructed her designs to use yarn efficiently. Robyn’s collection includes clothes, accessories and homewares made from one, three and five skeins of yarn, including jewellery, scarves, bags, shawls, socks, vests, skirts, cardigans, babies’ outfits and even place mats. They’re solid proof that you can maximise the value of your yarn, without making shortcuts on style. We love the designer tips on saving money when knitting, which will enable you to knit more often.
