For Dare to Darling's inaugural Spring/Summer Collection, I sought inspiration from the essence of spring itself. As winter fades and spring emerges, there's an unmistakable sense of anticipation and rejuvenation. The days lengthen, nature becomes vibrant, and the sun's warmth is inspiring. It's a time when the remnants of winter seem to melt away, allowing for fresh starts and renewal.
For the Spring/Summer 2024 collection, I wanted to depict the feeling that spring brings. I am inspired by the inherent change and transformation that accompanies the season. This renewal reflects the evolution and growth that Dare to Darling is experiencing with the transition to making seasonal collections. Each piece in the collection embodies a facet of spring, collectively telling the tale of its vibrant renewal and blooming.

After drafting the pattern, I made a CAD in Designaknit 9 which helps with precise guided machine knitting.
