From the book: "This is a popular pattern in traditional knitting, known in some form or another throughout Europe. This particular version is German. It is so simple to work that any beginner could make a deceptively fancy-looking garment with it. In a fine yarn it makes pretty baby dresses or little girls’ party clothes."Collection

The Fuschia Pattern's German origin reminds Kathleen of her German grandmother who taught her to knit when she was a child. Since she lived a few hours away from her, she wasn’t able to keep knitting, but when she took up her needles and yarn years later, it all came back. One of the first books she purchased after rediscovering knitting was Barbara Walker’s “Blue One,” which has remained a favorite for the last decade plus as she has evolved from knitter to knitwear designer.Lexicon
