Echoes: 24 Modern Knits Inspired by Iconic Women
by Susan Crawford
Echoes features knitwear patterns dedicated to incredible women—both real and fictional—who have influenced British designer Susan Crawford’s life. Included here are 24 knitting patterns (6 sweaters, 4 cardigans, 3 vests, 1 dress, 2 shawls, 1 cowl, 2 pairs of socks, 2 hats, 1 pair of mittens, 1 tie and 1 blanket), inspired by icons including Beatrix Potter, Virginia Woolf, Cyndi Lauper, and Kate Bush, as well as activists, artists, and more. Susan created the designs to resemble heirloom pieces, well-loved and handed down through generations, with stories interwoven into their fabric.
“Every piece of this collection is carefully intertwined with the next: stories, inspiration, colours and yarns are all different yet connected, creating a knitted tapestry, echoes of each one woven together. I hope you enjoy knitting them as much as I have done!”
