Knitted Home - Melanie Porter

From Cico Books, Knitted Home by Melanie Porter is a paperback guide to bringing contemporary hand-knitted style into your living space. Across 30 projects, it offers easy-to-make ideas designed to add colour and pattern to interiors, with three colour schemes to work from: the blues and greens of the ‘Cool Collection’, the reds, oranges and yellows of ‘Hot Ideas’, and the whites, creams and greys of ‘Pale Palette’.

Projects range from smaller makes such as a bolster pillow cover, flower vase cosy and stripy clock cover, through to larger pieces including a rope knit basket, chunky knit rug and covered footstool. A comprehensive techniques section covers the basics of knitting, alongside guidance on using giant knitting needles and measuring furniture for a knitted cover, making it approachable for beginners while still useful for more experienced knitters. The book also taps into yarn-bombing and maximalist décor trends, and explores upcycling in interiors by showing how to update items such as chairs, vases and lampshades with knitted covers.
