The Knitter Magazine Issue 162 Back Issue

Issue 162 is on sale now, and features our special Spring Blossom pattern collection. This has elegant, floral-inspired designs by Dario Tubiana, Jennie Atkinson, Oksana Dymyd and Carol Meldrum, who have used colourwork and embroidered details to celebrate the glory of spring. The collection includes a draping poncho that’s perfect for spring layering, a spectacular Fair Isle cardigan, a feminine jumper, and a cropped cardigan.
Explore the fascinating technique of Invisible Stranding with Kristin Blom’s elegant shawl, and try two-colour dip stitches with Fay Dashper-Hughes’ cheerful hat and mitts. Other projects in this issue include a neat waistcoat with tailored details, pretty cabled socks, a brioche stitch sweater for men, and a lightweight textured cardigan.
We take a peek inside the new archive of Scottish ganseys thanks to the team at the Knitting the Herring project, and meet hand-dyer Molly of The Mimo Yarn Co. Plus, our special supplement features an elegantly cabled jumper designed by Nicola Diggins, along with a profile of Nicola’s yarn shop, The Knitting Shed.
