Pom Pom

In this issue, our designers played with depth, saturation, and brightness; maximum impact with minimum contrast.

Pom Pom Quarterly 45 features all manner of warm-weather makes, both crochet and knit, each one a celebration of fruit, and of what is possible with yarn and a hook or some needles.

You never know what the day will bring with spring, so it’s the perfect season for layering! All of the pieces in this issue play with opacity, texture, and colourwork, layering techniques, tones, and transparency - sometimes all at once!

Our winter collection of 10 patterns features striking colours and innovative techniques, and bold and imaginative knits that play with pattern and perspective. So whether you fancy a colourwork challenge, or just some meditative time as the sun sets in the sky, there’s bound to be something here to expand your crafting horizons!

You’re invited to our yarn party! Issue 41 marks our 10th birthday and we have a host of jubilant and celebratory designs which radiate all the joy we feel on this landmark occasion! This rare bumper edition of Pom Pom Quarterly contains 13 designs for warm and cool climes, so no matter where you live in the world, there’s handmade party outfits aplenty within its pages.

The knit and crochet designs in Issue 39 are inspired by rhythm! Pom Pom’s Winter 2021 collection is packed with patterns which honour echoes, explore semitonal shifts in colour, and include repeating motifs to allow you to get into a stitching groove. The designers have taken Pom Pom’s auditory theme and created patterns which highlight the aspects of rhythm we see, such as written musical scores and the visual representation of soundwaves. No matter at what tempo you craft, there’s a winter project for you here!
