Summer 2021: Like a Bird 

Ex-display copy. Slightly worn

Swooping into Summer with knit and crochet patterns which will make your soul soar! For Issue 37, POM POM asked the designers to take their inspiration from the alluring textures and glorious colours of birds. These talented individuals have taken our cue and stretched their wings! Be impressed by imaginative interpretations of the bird theme as careful thought has gone into every aspect of these animals: from the shape of their footprints in snow to their sky formations. Within the pages of our Summer 2021 collection, you can expect nine patterns that are as elegant and dynamic as the airborne creatures they reference. 

Featuring designs by: ALLISON LUTES  // CARLIE OLFERT // CHLOE ELIZABETH BIRCH // KJERSTIN ROVETTA // KSENIA NAIDYON // SANDRA GUTIERREZ // SARI NORDLUND // VALERIE RACHEL

In addition to 9 knit and crochet patterns, a recipe, an article, and a tutorial are nested into the pages of PPQ37! Fiona Churchman will blow you away with her recipe for Feather Bread (a pandan coconut milk loaf) inspired by the treats she used to buy from London's Chinatown bakeries before lockdown!

Be sure to read Solène Le Roux's insightful musings on how birds and humans can adapt to their surroundings. And Nuria Casadella-Puigvert of GANXXET walks you through how to make colourful chains for your sunglasses and face masks for when you're out and about this summer!
