The Knitter Magazine Issue 159 Édition spéciale

Keep your needles busy this January with the patterns in Issue 159, which use cables, Fair Isle and intarsia to entertain you! Among the New Year projects are a chic cabled sweater dress by Oksana Dymyd, an Aran-style jumper with a contemporary silhouette, and an elegant Fair Isle hat and mitts by Outi Kater. Our Folklore collection brings a modern twist to traditional folk textiles, and includes colourful designs from Dario Tubiana, Carol Meldrum, Jacinta Bowie and Sarah Hatton. We also explore nalbinding, the ancient art of Viking knitting, and show you how to create a two-colour nalbinded hat. If you’re new to sock knitting, we have the ideal pattern to help novices create their first pair – it makes a great template to add your own colourwork patterns and stitch textures to, as well. Plus, our special supplement features a long, cosy colourwork coat designed by Martin Storey.
