Little Knittington by Georgina Manvell

This lovely knitted village is the work of Georgina Manvell ;a very talented designer, who created it for the Home & Country magazine in 1986.

It includes the patterns for the cars,people( standing and sitting),petrol pumps, walls,fences,ducks,pigs,sheep,(no pattern for the pony)shaggy plants,cauliflowers,lettuces,leeks and carrot tops and a suggested pattern for the Knittington High Cross.

Although no specific knitting instructions have been included for the buildings,experienced knitters will find these easy enough to knit if a cardboard model is used as a framework----Georgina has shown some lovely ideas for you to use for the buildings. "The Red Lion" pub; the village shop with a vegetable stall outside and the lovely church with detailed windows.

Or these can be a starting point for your own creations.

All knitted in 4-ply on 2mm knitting needles. 

The village has been reproduced from our collection of patterns and with  Georgina's very kind permission. It is a very rare and special pattern to find now.
