The elegant frames from the FRAMELESS collection are a new interpretation of the classic clip frame. A frame that lets the content be the focus, and which is elegant, light and rigorous.
“ I hope that we will see completely new and surprising suspensions that we could not have imagined. As I said, the frames provide new opportunities to occupy the rooms and not just the surfaces of the rooms. In addition, I hope that we will see hangings in front of windows, and I can reveal that we are working on a series of art prints that support the idea of a directionless frame that can be experienced from both sides ", says Mikkel the designer behind STUDIO ABOUT.
In this article, we will show you how you can easily and quickly create a small piece of art from your yarn scraps.
DIY – MAKE A CHRISTMAS GIFT YOURSELF WITH YARN REMAINS
Yarn and knitting are the new black, and there have never been as many home-knitted sweaters in the city as there are now. The whole situation with corona has meant that we immerse ourselves a little more in projects and hobbies than before. That's why now is the time to grab the sticks and create a small, personal Christmas present for someone you care about.
This project doesn't take long and can be made from your yarn scraps. The recipe can be followed, but there is plenty of opportunity to design and put together exactly the shape and color you want.
The finished knit finally comes in a frame from Studio About, which, with its transparency and passepartout, is easy to use creatively.
FREE KNITTING PATTERN WITH REMAINING YARN
MATERIALS
Pin 2.5 mm
Various Mohair remnants
FRAMELESS FRAME (Here we have used FRAMELESS A4 in the color amber and FRAMELESS I A5 in the color rose)
TIPS
Edge stitches (KM) are knitted on both straight and purl needles throughout the work (this method gives a nice and full edge)
Color change - break the yarn after the end of the needle, leave the long ends hanging or staple them once and cut them off.
