After successfully combining their two great loves - dogs and knitting - in their bestselling Best In Show books, Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne are back with a new range of knitting patterns for jumpers, accessories and baby items all featuring dog motifs. Dogs on Jumpers pairs simplicity and flexibility with knitwear patterns for men, women, children and babies. There are eighteen featured dog breeds, each with a graph for adult jumpers, alongside 8 additional graphs tailored to child and baby jumpers. Featured breeds include Labrador, Lurcher, Beagle, Dalmatian, Pug, French Bulldog, Golden Retriever, Chihuahua, Springer Spaniel, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Labradoodle, Jack Russell, Miniature Schnauzer, Whippet, Border Terrier, Border Collie, West Highland Terrier and Dachshund. There are three adult jumper shapes and three child/baby shapes, each with their own master pattern: Woman's neat and boxy Raglan jumper; Woman's long and loose jumper; Man's relaxed jumper; Child's dropped shoulder jumper; Baby's Raglan jumper (suitable for 3 years and under); and an easy Baby cardigan (suitable for 6 months and under). Once you've selected the shape of your jumper, simply choose your dog motif and get knitting! You can even adapt the designs to knit your own dog onto a jumper! Play around with colours and markings, with the position of the dog on the jumper and with the shape of the background - square, oval or stripe. Among the graphs at the back of the book you'll also find an alphabet graph, so you can either make up your own dog-related phrases, or add your dog's name or initials. With clear patterns for jumpers, accessories (including a hat and scarf), a baby blanket, a dalmatian onesie and even a dog coat, alongside advice on techniques and yarn choice, plus irresistible lifestyle photography from founder of Phodography, Ursula Aitchison, this is the perfect book for knitters and dog lovers alike.

"They are a great way to add some pizzazz to your wardrobe. I chose yarns in a variety of colorways, weights, and materials. Because they are one size fits all, scarves also make ideal gifts. In this book, new crocheters will find patterns they can complete with confidence; expert stitchers will be happy with complex patterns and interesting techniques."

Drawn to a beautiful, unique yarn, but not sure what to do with it? Look no further. Gorgeous hand-dyed, variegated, self-striping, speckled, and other fun yarns abound for the knitter today, but sometimes the colour variations and changes can make it difficult to find patterns that allow the yarn to shine. The simpler the pattern, the more the yarn gets to take centre stage. With this in mind, Toby designed all of the pieces in this book - hats, shawls, mittens, sweaters, and more - to let the yarn be the main feature. The 25 designs are written at a level for the motivated knitter who has made a scarf or two and is ready to move on to something a little more interesting and unique. Sidebars with photos and notes explain techniques that may be unfamiliar to beginners so that you can fearlessly make any piece. More experienced knitters can relax into these patterns and enjoy their showcase yarn as it slides along their needles and becomes a masterpiece of colour.

Working your way through all 64 patterns will bring you a great feeling of satisfaction as you finish up with a beautiful and functional rug or throw; you could choose a selection of patterns and create a smaller rug for a special purpose, or just one pattern and repeat it to create a scarf or shawl in a favourite yarn.

Freeformers will discover some novel stitches and enjoy incorporating many of these patterns into their work, whether using this book on its own or in conjunction with ideas inspired by Renate's Freeform Crochet and Beyond.
