New patterns

One of the latest Stitchville knitting patterns is for seamless cashmere baby booties pictured below. This pattern is from the new collection of patterns called "Fairer World". All proceeds from the sale of patterns from this collection will fund a textile enterprise run by a group of women in a Third World country selected by Stichville. Our target is to raise £1,000.00 in the first 6 months of 2012!

We now have a special section dedicated to our knitting and crochet patterns here.

And the winner is...
