Rowan Knitting & Crochet Magazine 51 sees key shapes which reflect a new confidence emerging within the wearer.
The designs have been created for ease of movement and casual freedom giving a relaxed, summery vibe.  The fun element is injected with a return to the retro resort styles where pattern and colour explode. 

The season is mainly understated, where nothing is outrageous. 

Rowan is promoting two stories Artisan and Riviera to reflect these trends. 
Essentials is the showcase for the key shapes of the season but translated into more simplified,
easy to wear styles that will compliment the season's essential looks.

Projects include knitting and crochet for the fiber enthusiast.

Designers in this issue include Marie Wallin, Lisa Richardson, Julia Frank, Martin Storey, Sarah Hatton, Kaffe Fassett, mar, Jennie Atkinson, Brandon Mably, Sarah Dallas, Erika Knight, and Josh Bennett.
