British designer Sasha Kagan is a name synonymous with hand knitwear and crochet; she has been designing since the 1960s and is famous for her innovative use of colour and distinctive Fair Isle and intarsia designs. Using only the best quality yarns and the finest detail, she regularly designs for Vogue knitting, Rowan yarns and the Knitter. An accomplished author, her pattern books and knitting kits continue to inspire the discerning knitter. She lectures and runs workshops as well as offering a ready to wear collection. Sasha has spent her career helping promote the tradition of hand knitting, and hopes that her enthusiasm will help you to enjoy this craft as much as she does.

Many of her popular hand-knitting kits and books are available to buy on this site.
