UPDATE DEC 2021! We are happy to announce an update to Issue 29: Summer 2019. This updated version includes fixes to errata and grading of an extra two sizes each for the following garment patterns: Earthen, Ogee, Sanctuary, Faience and Rievlaux. This brings Issue 29: Summer 2019 in line with Pom Pom’s current minimum size range. Errata can also be found on our website here. If you previously purchased the first edition in digital or print format please ensure you download and knit from the updated version - easily identified as ‘2021 Update’ in the PDF file name.
Summer is here! The nine designs in this issue were inspired by ceramic tiles, terracotta, and sand, so expect earthy shades with splashes of colour and organic, repeating patterns. For your summer wardrobe, we have essential summer tops and tees, a cardigan, a shawl, and a crochet bag – all light and breezy for warmer days.
We’re also excited that we’ve finally been able to add more pages to the magazine. This means more room for the gorgeous photography you love, an increased font size, and a wider range of sizes for some patterns (with the aim for all patterns in future issues).
Featuring designs by

This issue includes an interview with Emi Ito, who answers our questions of creativity and misappropriation. ‘Learning and Unlearning’ unpicks the issues of cultural appropriation and diversity, important topics we have been re-evaluating.
We also have yarn-free projects to enjoy while the sun shines. If you’re on the lookout for a new craft to try, we have a project bag tutorial by artist Arrounna Khounnoraj of Bookhou. She’ll show you how to block-print your own fabric, perfect for creating your own tile-inspired tessellating patterns! Plus Rebecca Lawrence’s recipe for her Maple Bourbon Fudge is an easy way to whip up an impressive sweet treat to share with friends.
