Rebecca Knitting Booklet No. 83

The Best of Rebecca

We know what you like. Yarn shops provide feedback on which Rebecca designs are receiving the most enthusiastic responses. We also keep an eye on rebecca-online.de to see which designs the yarn is being ordered for, which colors are becoming your absolute favorites, and which models are getting the most clicks. The great thing is that favorites emerge that remain at the top for the long term. Clearly, there are designs that strike a chord, where the wool, color, cut, and style combine to create timeless beauty – beyond every fashion season. We've compiled these classics of good knitwear design in this issue of Rebecca.

Let's start with the most beautiful sweaters: Whether openwork, cable-knitted, or jacquard, if the design is right, a hand-knitted sweater will become a favorite piece of clothing—just like our candidates, which we introduce to you in the first chapter of our Best of Rebecca issue.
In the second section, we've rounded up our most beautiful jackets and coats. Ten absolute feel-good pieces, whether a classic cardigan, a casual long jacket, or a cozy knitted coat. Which design classic will win your knitting heart? Knit your wool jacket for life!

Finally, we're getting up to date – we're showcasing the most beautiful shawls! This style is currently experiencing a huge hype, so it's great that we've always loved these cozy neck and shoulder warmers! The matching yarns are definitely elegant and soft: mohair, silk, and fine merino in various blends will flatter you!

All favorites – with our selection of the most beautiful pieces from Rebecca, we're celebrating a small, almost unofficial anniversary. It's been 25 years now, and every three months we've been presenting a collection of pieces made from wool from our favorite yarn label, ggh. It wasn't until this second issue that we adopted the name Rebecca, and of course, our style has evolved over the years. But – and this is also reflected in our best-of selection – we've always been independent of short-lived trends and focused on lasting beauty. The mix is colorful – sometimes completely simple, sometimes with spectacular jacquards; delicate openwork patterns are just as much a part of it as striking braids and voluminous rib knits; bold colors sit alongside delicate pastels and natural nuances. The full diversity of knitwear, in other words, reflected in our most beautiful sweater, jacket, and shawl designs.

On our news page, we've also included two gems we absolutely couldn't keep from you. One is a cozy wool blanket with matching pillows, and the other is an elegant, feel-good dress that we absolutely love. We're also introducing you to award-winning young designer Leonie Guzy – a talented knitting enthusiast who proves that there will always be new knitting designs to delight us all.

Until then, we wish you happy knitting and lots of joy with the Rebecca Alltime Stars!
