Hepatica is a fitted bodice with three quarter length sleeves inspired by those on medieval gowns. The stitch is a simple one of all over crossed trebles and the neckline is edged with a contrast colour and a lacy puff stitch. Named for the pretty flower that is found unexpectedly in deeply shaded woodlands, this is a find of a cardigan.

This modern summer sweater gives a nod to classic styles from the pre-war era. Created from two essentially square-shaped pieces, the top has a wide neckline and armhole openings, and features a nostalgic flower motif.

Stitch patterns and detailing doesn’t have to be complex to create impact – as this simple, elegant and very wearable jumper proves.

Shell stitches and silk yarn combine to create a very special dress for girls.
