What you need to know

Reach for the stars with this eye-catching festive motif by designer Sian Brown.

Taken from 100 Essential Knitting Motifs by Sian Brown, this star motif proves that festive knitting doesn't have to be complicated to make an impact. The background is worked in intarsia, while the outlined star uses Fair Isle colourwork to create a striking geometric effect. Framed by a garter stitch border, it's a brilliant technique-building project with plenty of seasonal style.
