We want to publish a design made by you in our next Katia Easy Knits magazine. Therefore, we propose that you take part in the II Katia Designers Awards. We´re returning after the incredibly positive experience of the first edition of our competition. Then, the level of participation and the quality of the designs presented surpassed all of our expectations. In this second competition we´re proposing two different categories: Women´s Fashion and Accessories-Home. So this time, the Katia Design Team will choose two winning models, one from each category. Both patterns, knit or crochet, will be included in the Katia Easy Knits Autumn Winter 18/19 magazine. Bring out the designer in you and take part in the II Katia Designers Awards!

To enter into the competition you must comply with the following requirements:
1 | Made with Katia. The design entries must be made completely with one or some of the following Katia yarns: Love Wool, Maxi Merino, Shadow, Winter Washi, Inca, Merino-Lino, Azteca and Azteca Milrayas. You can choose whichever colours you want.
2 | Easy pattern. The designs must be easy to knit or crochet. The instructions must be easy to follow. You can choose which technique you like: knitting, crochet or a combination of both.
3 | Authorship. The design and the pattern must be of your own creation.

Take part!
Write to us before 1st of December 2017 at the following email address: club@katia.com. Indicate, under subject, the category that you will take part in: Woman´s Fashion or Accessories-Home. Tell us something about you! We want to know your knitting or crochet story. What about your design? Which Katia yarns and how many balls of yarn have been used? To take part it´s not necessary to send the pattern, but we will require it if your model is the winner. Finally, attach 3 photos of your design from different positions. Try to take the photos on a human body (a tailor´s dummy, a friend, yourself…). So, pay attention to the lighting and the focus. By last, you can enter as many models as you like in either of the two categories.
