Katia Designers Awards 3: Design a knit or crochet accessory for one of our magazines

Would you like to see one of your designs published in one of our Katia Woman magazines? If so, our Katia Designers Awards 3 competition is for you. Here is a new opportunity to show the world your talent using knitting needles and crochet hooks. In this third edition of the Katia Designers Awards your knit and crochet accessories are the protagonists. We present 2 categories that you can take part in: Knit Accessories and Crochet Accessories.

Of course, you can take part in one or in both categories with your best hat, scarf, cowl, glove, shawl, poncho or bag designs. On this occasion, you can present all the designs you consider appropriate, whether they are beginner or advanced level. There’s also no limit to the number of entries you can make, you can send as many accessory designs as you like.

2 requirements

In this Katia Designers Awards 3 you only have to meet these two requirements in order to take part:

1. Ownership. Please ensure that you only present accessory designed by yourself.
2. Made from Katia yarns. If your design is a winner, it is important that it has been knitted or crocheted with one of the following yarns: Azteca, Azteca Degradé, Azteca Milrayas, Inca Ice, Ingenua, Love Wool, Maxi Merino, Merino Aran, Merino Flamé, Merino Shetland, Merino Tweed, Merino-Seda, Velour and/or Tout de Suite. Using your own choice of colours.

Katia Designers Prizes

• If your design is a winner, we will publish it in one of our Autumn Winter 2019–2020 magazines. These magazines are available in 6 languages: Spanish-English, French-Dutch and German-Italian. Of course, we will include together with the design your name, creative blog or Instagram account (if you have one).
• Also, your knit or crochet pattern will be featured on our web as a downloadable PDF format. Furthermore, we will be dedicating a post in this blog, to the winning designs, and on our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest…
• Lastly, we will be putting together a prize giveaway package of Katia products, of your choice, (yarns, knitting needles, crochet hooks and magazines) for the value of 100€.

2 categories, 3 winners

No, it’s not a mistake! In this third edition, the Katia Team will chose the two winners; but there will be a third winning design. And in this case, it will be the followers on the Katia Yarns & Fabrics Facebook page that will decide which design – amongst the finalists – should be included in our magazine.

Take part!

Send us an email before the 17^th of December 2018. In the Subject section indicate the category that you want to take part in: Knit Accessories or Crochet Accessories. Tell us a little about yourself. And about your design: inspiration, stitches, number of balls of yarn, colours and any other interesting details. Attach 2 or 3 photos, with the best quality possible, of your accessory entry.
