Celebrating spring knits
Spring is in the air, and you know what that means – longer days, blooming flowers, and, of course, the perfect excuse to refresh your knitting inspiration! This issue, we’re leaning into those joyful vibes with a fabulous Folklore Spring theme. Think lightweight layers, stylish accessories and charming homeware projects to brighten up your space and wardrobe.
Let’s talk about our cover star! Chloe Elizabeth Birch has designed the most gorgeous folklore-inspired tank top, blending tradition with a fresh, modern twist. It’s the kind of piece that pairs effortlessly with just about anything. And if you’re craving more layers (because spring can be a little unpredictable), you’ll adore Anni Howard’s delicate lacework slipover or Sian Brown’s Bud and Fair Isle cardi. Both are perfect for those breezy days.
Looking for a speedy project? Caron’s quick-knit number is ideal for beginners and still totally satisfying for more experienced knitters; you could have it ready in a weekend!
Accessories fans, we’ve got you covered, too. Kath Andrew’s Crenellate Shawl is a versatile stunner, and there’s a gorgeous colourwork cowl and matching mitts to add a pop of brightness to your wardrobe. Plus, if you’re keen to sprinkle some handmade charm around the house, you’ll fall for Jacinta Bowie’s whimsical light shade and Nicola Valiji’s Easter bunny wreath – how cute is that?
For those of you who love knitting for little ones, this issue is brimming with joy. Sian Brown’s Fair Isle jumper is a treat for both girls and boys, and Amanda Berry has been busy with her adorable Dala horses and barnyard mini pals – all ready to make with this issue’s delightful knit kit gift. And if you’re a Wallace & Gromit fan (who isn’t?), we’ve even got patterns for Gromit, Preston and Fluffles!
Oh, and there’s more! Don’t forget to flick through the Knitting for the Home bonus magazine, packed with beautiful projects to bring a little extra cosiness to your space.
