Many clothing patterns are cited by thousands of imitators and published in knitting magazines such as:

On the pages in all social networks, Irina has a lot of knitters and needlewomen who draw inspiration from ideas and author's incarnations, photos and descriptions of which she generously shares.

Tops, pullovers

In my blog for those who are just learning to knit,Irina Horn gives a description of many of the author's models and accompanies with tips on making and combinations to create a harmonious image. There are quite a lot of tops and pullovers in the arsenal of the craftswoman. Irina combines them with shorts, trousers, skirts, with shirts that can be thrown over a top or worn under a pullover, cardigans and elongated vests, both knitted and sewn from fabric.

Irina Horn gives preference to many models made in soothing colors, for example, milky shades and has been using them for many years, arranging them in different ways. But bright and daring tones are also present in her collections. Very interesting ethnic models of a dress, a sundress with a pattern that combines rich colors, or a red floor-length skirt, or a green cardigan, or a purple jacket. In the hands of Irina, any thread, of any color, turns into a unique model that every craftswoman wants to repeat, and every fashionista wants to have in her wardrobe.

Skirts

Irina's wardrobe is rich in knitted openwork and tight skirts of various lengths. She boldly combines them with T-shirts, tops, turtlenecks and jackets. To her colleagues who want to implement the ideas submitted by Irina, she gives some tips on knitting skirts:

1. First you need a good pattern for the future product, which you will need to refer to throughout the knitting.
2. It is necessary to start work from above, it is more convenient to try on.
3. Don't work in rounds, but start a new row with lifting stitches.
4. In the process of work, when changing the pattern, it is worth moistening the product orsteam with an iron (if the thread is natural) in order to be sure of the size and following the pattern, since after steaming or moistening the threads straighten and may behave differently in different patterns.

Moreover, for many models of skirts, she attaches patterns of patterns and describes the sequence of their combination. Many craftswomen use patterns that are publicly available on the Web and buy needlework magazines with her publications.

Cardigans & Vests

Among the latest works of Irina Horn, knitting vests and cardigans stands out in bright and juicy shades.

Bright red, juicy orange, bold pink cardigans look new, relevant and stylish in combination with matching trousers and blouses.

As always, the look is completed with accessories: handbags, a belt, a necklace or an interestingly knitted scarf.

I especially want to note the work with color. Irina Horn combines colors in sets with insane talent. Knitted skirts, tunics, shorts, cardigans of various colors are combined with clothing details of a different texture in a very interesting color combination and complemented by accessories. In one of the blogs, Irina gave advice to beginners on how to combine colors. She said that if there is no flair or confidence in how to correctly combine certain shades, you can buy a women's scarf, where there is that tone that you need to compose and boldly combine withany colors that are present on this scarf.

Accessories

Very interesting detail - neck knitted accessories, small scarves with many small details to match the skirt, for example, which are almost always present in the photographs of Irina Horn's knitted models. They can be used both as scarves and as belts, depending on the mood and outfit.

Very interesting Irina has knitted handbags that she can change and remake over time if she wants to revive her favorite model.
