What you need to know

Put some pizzazz in your patterning with Siân Brown's modern twist on a classic.

The argyle diamond pattern was originally inspired by the traditional tartan of Clan Campbell of Argyll, but has been a popular fashion choice for over 100 years. With that in mind, we thought it was time for a refresh and designer Siân has incorporated this classic motif into a thoroughly modern make. Use the intarsia method of colourwork which uses separate bobbins of yarn for each section.
