When trends for Spring and Summer are florals, I find it humorous. When do florals ever go out of style?
In "designspeak" this means that floral designs are being tweaked, modernized as happens with all design elements. The saying "What's old is new again" applies here.
The floral trend in knitwear can be interpreted in so many ways, therefore I've decided to break up this trend story into five parts - Texture, Lacy, Dimensional, Intarsia (charts or picture knits) and Crochet. Please be sure to check for the rest of the trend stories.
One way to interpret Florals is through Texture. Texture is the dimensional cables as well as simple knit and purl patterns used to mimic florals. Colourwork or any other type of floral interpretation can be added to enhance the design.
The Patternbank image gives you the overall feeling for what designers may choose as ideas and visuals for their own designs.
