Issue 163
Emma
Editor
There is no season that I don’t like: spring is full of joy and promise,
summer’s light evenings are a real spirit-lifter and the sights and smells of
autumn are a treat for the senses. As for winter? I love it! I love bright, cold
days and the frosty chills that mean knitwear is a must from dawn till dusk.
There is nothing quite like closing the curtains and casting on a new project.
This issue, we’ve got some bright and beautiful makes to bring a splash of
colour into dark January evenings, starting with Lana Jois’s joyful cover star
jumper on page 16. This clever stripy number uses a soothing colour palette
that will take you from winter to spring in style.
If you’re looking for some single-tone stunners to wear (and wow, we’ve
got plenty of those, too!) there is the gorgeous green Climbing Vines cable
number on page 71, a pretty yellow lacy cardi on page 60, while Marina
Skua’s Amber Apple design on page 49 is beautifully simple with chic puff
sleeves for some stand-out style. But, if you do want to go all-out bright, Tonia
Lyons has created a wonderful poncho of bold colourblock hues.
There are plenty of ideas to make the most of this issue’s cable needles, too
- check out the easy one-ball warmer headband on page 22 if you’re new to
these stitches (or if you’re a pro looking for a super quick knit!).
As always, there is lots to read in between projects, or just for when you
fancy taking a break from the needles. We think you’ll really enjoy our Ask
the Experts feature this issue, particularly if you’re in need of some advice
on combining colours, plus you can meet our latest recruit to Knit Now...
Rosie Fletcher from Slipstitch, who will be running us through life as a yarn
shop owner.
We hope you love our collection of fabulous knits to start 2024 in wonderful
woolly style!
Happy knitting!
“My friends' daughter absolutely
adores Wallace and Gromit, so
I know that she is going to ask
for the fabulous Gromit jumper
to be knitted for her!”

Associate Editor
“I do love a pair of bright socks
(my bedroom chest of drawers is
full of them!), so I’ll be popping
the colourful pair on page 42 onto
my needles this month”
Jenny

“Winter is all about keeping
cosy, and I’ve got my eye on

the motifs give such a
gorgeous effect"

EXPERTS
It’s time for our team of knitters to tackle your trickiest questions
Kelly asks...
“I’m knitting a sweater in autumn shades. They look beautiful together in
the skeins, but the pattern just looks a bit flat. Where am I going wrong?”
"tech. Editor
TKUcMltf 5Д6)5...
“You’re not going ‘wrong’ at
all, it sounds like you need
to add in a little bit of a
complementary colour to really
fire up the pattern. Your autumn
colours are harmonious as
they sit alongside each other on the colour wheel.
Choose a colour that sits opposite the autumn
shades (for reds that would be a green, for example,
orange would be a shade of blue). Swap out one of
your colours for your complementary shade and the
design should spring to life.”
Chloe asks...
Finn asks...
“I recently had a colour consultation as a birthday gift and I
apparently suit ‘cool’ reds. What does that mean in yarn terms?”
Vck Editor Tricia 5Д6)5...
“Often people will say ‘I can’t wear red
(or blue/green/pink etc!)’. It means
their skin tone is suited to, for example,
a warm red rather than a cool red - it’s
a matter of choosing a yarn that has a
flattering undertone. ‘Cool’ reds such
as claret, burgundy and cranberry have
an undertone of a blue, purple or black.
“I’m working on an intarsia design and it’s mainly cream with
brightly coloured motifs. The pattern looks great, but the
brightly coloured yarn is visible behind the cream. Is there
anything I can do?”
‘Warm’ reds such as poppy, scarlet, coral or brick range have
an orange or brown undertone. If possible, hold the yarn under
your chin and see how it looks. But remember, if you like it, it
will make you feel good so go with it!”
Associate Editor
“Integrating light and dark colours can be
challenging. The best way to avoid this
with an intarsia design is to make sure
each motif is worked with a separate
bobbin of yarn and not stranded across
the back of the work (as you would with
Fair Isle). It does mean more ends to sew in and can be fiddly,
but it will pay off as you shouldn’t have any sections with a
colour being carried across it, so there’ll be nothing to show
through.”

It can be daunting when choosing a colour palette for your project, but a few
simple tips should get you started on this exciting journey!
Begin by familiarising yourself
with the colour wheel. A colour
wheel is essentially a rainbow
in a circular format. You can
make a simple colour wheel,
print one free from the internet
or there are some great ones
online that allow you to see the
key aspects of colour planning.
1HUES, TINTS AND
SHADES
Possibly the simplest place to
start is with hues. Essentially
the pure hue is at the outer
edge of the wheel. By adding
white or black, you create a tint
or a shade.
By adding white you will, for
example, transform a deep
fuchsia pink to a pastel ice,
and everything in between. As
the colours are all from the
same hue, they will combine
beautifully.
Shades are similar to tints
in that they are based on a
single hue. However, they
are changed by the addition
of black. For example, black
added to fuchsia may give
a rich, deep magenta or
burgundy. Adding black to the
lightest of the pink hues will
give a dusky pale pink.
Hues, tints, and shades can
be combined and should always
harmonize. Vary the proportions
for different but stunning
effects. Yarn fade sets often
follow these principles.
2 HARMONY OR
COMPLEMENTARY?
Harmonious colours sit nestled
together on the colour wheel.
For example, reds, oranges
and corals will be familiar as
autumn shades. Purple, blue
and green are also analogous
to each other as they sit in the
same quadrant of the colour
wheel. Analogous colours share
a common hue, so they will
work together harmoniously.
Complementary colours are
those which sit opposite each
other on the colour wheel.
Orange is the complementary
colour of blue, pink and green
are complementary, as are
yellow and purple. These are
the colours that make your
colour schemes ‘pop’ and are
the trickier colours to place.
3 IT’S ALL ABOUT
PROPORTIONS
With complementary colours,
Try it!
Look out for online colour palette
generators such as www.befunky.
com, www.coolors.co or www.
canva.com. These programs allow
you to import photos or images
and generate custom palettes -
hours of fun!
proportion is more important
than with analogous colours,
tints, hues and shades.
This is because they are
directly opposing each other.
Using equal proportions of
complementary colours tends
to make them cancel each
other out, diminishing the
impact. A small amount of
one complementary, on the
other hand, reflects the other,
enhancing the overall effect.
Look to nature to see this at
its best.

This jumper is worked flat in
pieces from the bottom up,
with the motif worked from a
chart. Wind off smaller balls of
yarn before you begin and use
a separate end of yarn for each
colour section, crossing yarns
at colour changes to prevent
holes (intarsia technique).
Small details such as the
eyes and shading lines might
be easier to work afterwards
using duplicate stitch (Swiss
darning). We recommend
Elizabeth Zimmermann’s sewn

PONCHO
“One of my favourite artists is Piet
Mondrian, who uses bold primary
colours paired with white and
black to create abstract images.
I was inspired to use his style for
this poncho and created a ‘plaid’

stripes paired with vertical stripes
using crocheted duplicate stitch”

This poncho begins by working
the first few rows of the hem
flat on longer circular needles
before joining to work in the
round to make it easier to avoid
twisting the stitches. Both hem
and neckline are worked in
Reverse Stocking stitch while
the body is worked in Stocking
stitch with columns of purl
stitches at random intervals
which will be used later for
working crochet duplicate
stitch. Decreases are worked
at one set point to give the
piece a bold chevron shape.

Meet the designer
CHLOE
THURLOW
We caught up with Chloe to find out more about
life as one of Rowan’s designers
Chloe Thurlow is not only a designer but
she also works in the Rowan design office
in Yorkshire. She studied Fashion Knitwear
and Knitted Textile Design at university
where she specialised in machine
knitting, but found herself always picking
up the needles and going back to hand
knitting. Inspired by creating characters
and escaping reality, Chloe’s knits are
vibrant and playful, with collage and
experimentation all part of the process.
How are you today?
Hi, I’m good, thank you. I’m really excited
to be interviewed by Knit Now!
What are you knitting?
I’ve currently got Charcoal from MODE at
Rowan Four Projects Alpaca Classic on
my needles, but I’ve chosen to knit it in a
green shade. I have to admit this is the
second time I’m knitting it, as I shrunk
the first one in the washing machine
(oops!). But I must knit it again as it’s a
great sweater to throw on, and it goes
with everything.
How did you get your start?
Growing up, I really loved dressmaking
and dreamt of going into fashion design.
But it was when I was 16 and working in
a haberdashery, that dream switched to
hand knitting. I was moved from the fabric
department into the yarn department,
which was terrifying at first because
my attempts at knitting previously were
never that successful. However, being
surrounded by the beautiful shades and
different yarns all day really made me fall
28 www.craftworld.com
INTERVIEW
in love with the idea of not only creating a
garment, but also being able to create the
fabric too. I always admired the Rowan
yarns on the shelves in the haberdashery,
and I was so lucky to have Marie Wallin as
my hand-knitting tutor at university, which
led me more into the Rowan world. After I
left university, I joined the Rowan team up
in Yorkshire.
Who is your biggest
woolly inspiration?
My biggest woolly inspiration has got
to be my mum; if it wasn’t for her being
such an inspiration and always being so
encouraging, I don’t think I would be where
I am today. It was watching my mum sewing
and knitting as I grew up that made me
want to follow my creative path, and it was
my mum who introduced me to all my other
woolly inspirations: Kaffe Fassett, Patricia
Roberts and so many more.
What have been your
biggest challenges?
I think my biggest challenge, as with
many knitters, is staying focused on one
knitting project or design. Ideas for new
projects are always popping into my head,
and then I just want to get started on
something new immediately!
And your greatest triumphs?
It would have to be my book, Daydreamer.
My first book will always be my greatest
triumph, as it was a true passion project
of mine. I was involved with each process
every step of the way, from designing the
collection, styling the photoshoot in my little
flat and even illustrating the layout of the
book.
What’s the best piece of knitting
advice you’ve ever received?
It’s not exactly advice, but my textile
college tutor always used a term which is
now my favourite saying: ‘happy accident’.
I’m very much a planner when it comes
to designing, but even when you have
a certain design planned out on paper,
when it comes to knitting it as a swatch,
sometimes it ends up looking completely
different... but you may love this design
“There are no
limitations when it
comes to knitting”
even more; that’s what I like to call a
‘happy accident’!
What are some of your favourite
yarns to work with and why?
My favourite yarns I always turn to are the
ones which have Alpaca in them. Alpaca
Soft DK, Alpaca Classic, Moordale etc., it’s
so warm and soft, but also a really durable
yarn, and I especially love how colours in
Alpaca wools look so rich and saturated.
Do you have any exciting plans
you’d like to tell our readers about?
I can’t wait for people to see Rowan’s
Spring Summer 2024 season. I have lots
of designs I’m really proud of and a story
in issue 75 of Rowan Magazine, which I
worked behind the scenes on, but that’s all
I can say!
Your beautiful designs Bobbin,
Banner, Brocatelle and Bombazine
(Rowan Magazine issue 74) are all
knitted in Rowan’s new yarn, Fine
Tweed Haze. What did you enjoy
most about designing with this
yam?
I was a big fan of its sister yarn, Tweed
Haze, before Fine Tweed Haze was the new
kid on the block. Of course, I love them as
they both have Alpaca in them! Fine Tweed
Haze is lovely and lightweight and has a
fantastic palette for playing with colourwork.
Your gorgeous design Exmoor is
the front cover of the new Kid
Classic collection, Winter Classics.
Can you tell us a little bit more
about this design?
With knitting, there is always something
new to learn and develop and with each
new collection, I like to challenge myself
with different techniques I might not usually
design with. My designing often focuses
on colourwork, but this season I’ve really
enjoyed combining my love of colourwork
with different techniques, which is where
the cable and Fair Isle stripes in my design
came from.
As a regular contributor and tutor
for ROWAN CONNECT, what do
you enjoy most about these events?
I love meeting new people at every event
I do. With their virtual platform, it allows
you to meet people around the world who
you might never have met otherwise. But
more than anything, I love teaching people
new techniques, because I really do believe
there are no limitations when it comes to
knitting!

“I based the colourwork
pattern for this on a
traditional quilt block design
often called ‘School House’,
creating a pattern of little
houses snuggled together
that can also work upside
down. I often wear cowls or
neckwarmers and wanted
to create something that
gave the cosiness of being or
feeling at home, so I chose
doubled up colourwork,
which is great for keeping
the cold out, without feeling
too bulky”

Wet blocking is
recommended to allow
colourwork to bloom and
even out.
All the yarn ‘floats’ (where
an unused yarn colour is
carried across the back of the
work) end up hidden inside
once the cowl is doubled up
and grafted together. This
means you don’t need to
worry about securing them
at the back, even if on some
rows they stretch for 6 or
7 sts. However, to achieve
even-looking colourwork, it
is still important to maintain
a consistent tension and
not to allow floats to get
too loose or too tight. If
this happens, you could try
turning your work so that
the wrong side is facing
outwards as you knit. Having
the floats going around
the outside of your tube of
knitting as you work can help
keep tension regular!

Bright & bold colourwheel
CUSHION
More than one designer went into the
making of this bright beauty
was thrilled
of the Design Team!
“The CoCoCollective is a
group of artists at CoCoCare,
a day service for people with
disabilities, including autism,
based in Colchester, Essex. We
are inspired by the artists we
meet or discover during visits
to museums and art galleries
to create our own artworks in
a variety of techniques. We are
part of the artistic community
of Colchester and have our
own studio. The Colourwheel
cushion is a collaboration
between us and our facilitator,
Anni Howard (pictured above).
We all discussed and planned
the idea after looking at Kate’s
mood board, and we helped out
making the pompoms too!”

This cushion is worked flat in
two pieces and is shaped into
a circle using short rows. The
front segments are knitted in
twelve colours to show the
primary, secondary and tertiary
colours in the colour wheel,
each segment separated by two
rows of stocking stitch in black.
The back is knitted in black
throughout. A narrow edging is
worked on picked-up stitches
around the circumference of the
front. After sewing up the cast-
on and cast-off edges to form
the circle, the back is attached
behind the front edging, leaving
a gap which is closed after the
cushion pad is inserted. Finally,
two buttons are tightly sewn to
the centre of the cushion and
pompoms are attached around
the edge.

A YEAR IN A
YARN SHOP... ,
Hello!
I’m Rosie Fletcher and I’m
thrilled to be writing this
column, taking you through
a year in a local yarn shop.
I’ve owned my shop, Slipstitch, since January
2019 - so this is a really special time of
year as it’s our shop's birthday! I remember
reaching January 2020 and confidently thinking:
‘Wow, I have done the whole year! I know
exactly what to expect running a business’.
Little did I know what that year would bring...
Chaos and quiet
I’d like to say that January is a strange time
in the shop but really, every time is a strange
time in the shop. The year
has certain rhythms to it:
< \

bemuse ..У
the quiet of August, the chaos of Christmas, and I could set my
calendar by the knitters returning as soon as September hits.
We run full tilt from then until Christmas Eve - my favourite shift
of the year, as last-minute shoppers run in and I wear my cosiest
jumper - and then take the weeks between Christmas and the
new year off. I always feel a little rusty when I open the doors
again in January!
Time to get busy
However gentle a start I might need, we’re always busy that first
week back - after being closed for two weeks, we inevitably have
someone rushing back who just needed one more ball to finish a
project, or broke one of their needles over the holiday. As well as
shutting up shop for a couple of weeks, I also won’t have done
any ordering for around three weeks... and that means the new
year starts with orders to all of our suppliers to fill our empty
shelves. All the festive stock may have gone, but crafters don’t
stop needing tapestry needles as soon as January strikes!
We’ll also be getting a whole roster of classes running as New
Year’s Resolutions kick in and novice knitters vow to finally pick
up those new skills. That and the long, dark nights of January,
with no festive cheer to look forward to, bring a lot of people
through our doors. Winter is a lot more bearable with brightly
coloured wools and cosy patterns to fill the evenings. We’ll also
be stocking beautiful rainbows of yarn for anyone tackling a
Temperature blanket, where a stripe is knitted each day of the
year in a colour corresponding to the temperature.
Back with a bump!
It’s also, very ‘excitingly’... tax season! Running a yarn shop is
glorious and I get to share my love of craft every day, but it’s still
a business, so while we refill the shelves with new wool, I’ll also
be back to payroll and inventory and the accounts.

people pick up new ski[Ls starts 3g<?in

my t3*eS, though!
The usual routine of the shop happens all at once in those early
days of January; new stock, classes and admin, and lots and lots

Stag’s tips...
When knitting stranded
colourwork, spread out
the new stitches on the
RH needle to maintain
appropriate tension.
The heel flap uses a garter
selvedge, which has purl
bumps along the edge
instead of a chain. To pick
up stitches, simply insert a
needle through all the purl
bumps, and then knit them.
These socks feature a
geometric stranded pattern,
worked from charts, with
no long floats. The socks
are worked cuff-down, with
a reinforced heel flap and a
gusset on the sole. Pair a self-
striping yarn with a strongly
contrasting solid to create
your own unique work of art!

This cardigan has an unusual
construction and is worked
top-down with the band
worked at the same time. The
band is cast on at back neck
and worked in rib, then sts are
picked up along its edge for
shoulders and centre back.
Saddle shoulder pieces are
worked in Herringbone Stitch,
put on hold, then sts for each
front and back are picked up
and worked separately as far
as underarms. The fronts and
back are joined and worked
flat to the hem. Sleeve sts
are picked up around the
armholes, short rows shape
the puffed sleeve cap, then
the sleeves are worked in the
round with gentle shaping.
Sts are dramatically
decreased just before the
Herringbone cuffs.

tip of front needle over and
under tail end of yarn so
that yarn wraps around front
needle and finishes between
needles. Then move tip of
back needle over and under
working end of yarn so that
yarn wraps around back
needle and finishes between

Book review
5 reasons why you’ll love
KNIT ARTISTIC
£7^ АМЖ7Т Enjoy combining wonderful
В—I ,Л \ I colours and patterns for
011Г1Л1	wear-forever knits
When Barbel Sa let’s book
popped onto the desk at
KN HQ, we just knew that
we had to share it with you.
Last issue, we featured the
glorious Rise Like a Phoenix
design, and we thought you
might like to see a little more
of what the book contains.
Each shawl is a wonderful
work of art with a palette
selection to excite, whether
you prefer bold and bright, or
more subtle combinations.
i The colourwork designs
We all like a bit of colour in
our lives, and Barbel has
seamlessly combined stand-
out hues with designs that
are as eye-catching as
they are harmonious.
l Subtle gradients sit
I alongside bold shades,
* with joyful bursts of
colour that bring her
- beautiful designs to life.
We love the turquoise
and terracotta version of
Fire Lilies with a subtle
L blue running through
the make, topped
off with a bright
| turquoise border.
The turquoise and
terracotta version of
Fire Lilies Is an
eye-catching
combination
2 Techniques to learn
andtry
At first glance, Knit Artistic
Shawls looks like it is aimed at
the most proficient knitters -
the colourwork designs appear
intricate and detailed. But fear
not! There is something for all
abilities in the gorgeous tome,
even for knitters wanting to try
their hand at their first large
triangular shawl. There are
pages of techniques to help,
from swatch ing and steeking,
through colour arrangement to
borders and blocking. If you’re
starting out, check out the
Easygoing shawl.
3 Packed with
heirloom makes
Carefully curated yarn choices
ensure that all your hard
work will last a life time.
Barbel combines beautifully
soft fibres, including 100%
lambswool, Shetland and
Norwegian yarns and supersoft
cashmere, to name a few, for
luxurious knits that will look
as good in years to come as
Tracery is a stand-out
pattern 5
they do when your new shawl
first comes off the needles.
Gondwana in turquoise-green
and sand-nature combines
timeless colours that’ll span
the decades.
4 The fabulous
pattern combinations
One of the most impressive
aspects of the book is how
defined the patterns on the
shawls are - even on the more
subtle colour combinations,
the patterns really pop!
Some of the designs are
architectural and geometric
in style, while others have a
nature-inspired finish. We love
how Barbel explains where
her inspiration for each came
from - Arabesque was the
result of a visit to the old town
of Marrakech, Ginkgo by the
gentle beauty of ginkgo trees,
and Easygoing was inspired by
a door that Barbel saw on a
visit to Kent!
5 Ageless style for all
If you’re anything like us, you’ll
have a cupboard bursting with
a variety of shawls... but there
is always room for one more!
Shawls are so versatile - the
perfect cover-up for when the
sun goes down on summer
evenings, a comforting woolly
hug for chilly winter nights
spent on the sofa. But,
whatever the occasion, a well-
chosen shawl is a stylish cover-
up that spans the generations,
and you’ll be spoilt for choice
in the selection contained in
Knit Artistic Shawls.

TIPS
for cable knits
key property you’re looking for is stitch definition
- you want to be able to see those lovely cable
stitches you’ve created! A smooth, round, bouncy
Here’s a round-up of the Knit Now team’s top
tips for mastering this rewarding technique
wool yarn is often the go-to for cable knits, but you
can experiment with adding a lovely light mohair yarn
such as Rowan Kidsilk Haze to add some fluffiness
without losing definition.
Cable
needles
Metal cable
needles can be handy for
quick knits, but if you’re	* * -
using a slippery yarn, use
a bamboo needle to avoid
dropping stitches. Experiment
with different shapes of cable
needles to find out what works
best for you - you can start practising straight away
using your 3-in-l set.
Charts made easy
In Knit Now, cable patterns always come
with both charted and written instructions,
but elsewhere you may find chart-only
patterns. Don’t worry though - they’re not
as complex as they look. Each square
represents one stitch, and you read the
rows in the same direction as you knit. If
you struggle to follow the chart, get out your highlighters
No needle? No problem!
Set yourself free of the cable needle altogether
by learning to cable without a cable needle! This is particularly
useful for small cables of only two or three stitches. There are lots
of great tutorials online - start with the one on the Modern Daily
Knitting blog at www.modernciailyknitting.com
and colour-code the squares, or use Post-it notes to help
you keep your place.
Stitch markers
really are a
knitter’s best friend when it
comes to cable patterns! Place
a marker between each pattern
repeat to help you keep your
place. If you have some lockable
markers, pop one at the end of
every 10th row to help you keep
count of rows, too.
58 www.craftworld.com
FEATURE
Mistakes happen
There’s no such thing as a perfect
knitter, so don’t beat yourself up if you
make a mistake! You can drop down and
re-knit a section if you need to. First, run
a DPN through the stitches below where the mistake
happened. Next, drop all the stitches above that point
to create a ladder, then simply rework the pattern
correctly, using the ladders as the working yarn.
Keeping
count
Keeping count
of which row
you’re on when
knitting cables
can be tricky,
but here’s a little tip - place
the tip of your needle at the
hole in your cable (where it
twists); this is your cable
row. From there, you can
count rows up or down.
Brilliant
blocking
Cabled stitch patterns
don’t really come to
life until the finished
piece has been
washed and blocked.
Don’t judge your WIF?
particularly if you’re
using a lovely woolly
yarn that will bloom
with washing. It may
look a bit uneven as
you’re knitting but a
nice gentle soak and
shaping when wet will
do wonders.
Don’t stress
If you can knit and purl, you can
do cables! Just take it one stitch
at a time and remember you’re only
doing normal knitting stitches in a
different order.

KNITTING SKILLS
If you’re a new knitter or returning after a break, here’s our guide to some
of the most common stitches used in this issue
Knit (k)
Step 1: Insert RH needle from
left to right into front of next st.
Step 2: Wrap yarn clockwise
around RH needle.
Step 3: Holding working yarn
firmly, pull loop through.
Step 4: Drop old st off
LH needle. 1 knit st has
been made.
Step 1: Insert RH needle
from right to left into front
of next st.
Step 2: Wrap yarn
anti-clockwise around
RH needle.
Step 3: Holding working yarn
firmly, pull loop through.
Step 4: Drop old st off
LH needle. 1 purl st has
been made.
Divide sts equally between
two needles. Cut yarn, leaving
a long tail, and thread onto a
darning needle (DN). Insert
DN p-wise into 1st st on front
needle and pull yarn through.
SKP or ssk?
There are lots of different ways to work a left-leaning decrease
but we like the ‘improved ssk’ method (shown opposite) best
because it gives a neat-looking decrease. However, you can
always change this for an ‘SKP’ or ‘sll, kl, psso’ decrease
if you prefer and your pattern will still work.
Insert DN к-wise into 1st st
on back needle and pull yarn
through. * Insert DN k-wise
into 1st st on front needle and
slip the st off needle. Insert
DN p-wise into next st on
front needle and pull the yarn
through. Insert DN p-wise into
1st st on back needle and slip
this st off the needle. Insert
DN к-wise into next st on back
needle and pull yarn through.*
Rep from * to * until all sts
have been worked.
End to end: Lay pieces RS
up and together. Thread
yarn onto darning needle
(DN). Secure two corners at
RH edge. Working from right
to left, * insert DN under the
‘V’ of the next st in top piece,
pull gently, insert DN under
the ‘V’ of the opposite st in
bottom piece, pull gently;
rep from * until seam
is complete.
Side to side: Lay pieces RS up
and together. Thread yarn onto
darning needle (DN). Secure two
corners at RH edge. Pull apart
slightly so you can see the
‘ladder’ of horizontal strands
between columns of sts. Working
from right to left, *with DN, catch
first ‘rung’ of ladder on RH piece.
Catch the opposite ‘rung’ on LH
piece and pull gently until the
two edges meet; rep from *
until seam is complete.

THE BASICS
Between knit sts: Start
with yarn at back. Bring yarn
forward from back to front
between the needles and
back over the RH needle.
Between purl sts: With the
yarn at the front of the work,
take it from front to back over
the top of the RH needle,
continue round, under RH
needle, and hold to front
ready to purl next st.
Between a knit and a purl st:
Start with yarn at back. Bring
yarn forward between the
needles, take from front to
back over the top of the RH
needle, round RH needle and
hold to front to purl next st.

Between a purl and a knit
st: Start with yarn at back.
Take yarn back over top of
RH needle and then bring it
between the two needles so
that the yarn is not at the
back of the work. Knit next st.
Make one (mi)
Step 1: Insert the RH needle
into the next st k-wise, then slip
it onto the RH needle without
knitting it.
Central double decrease (cdd)
Step 1: Insert RH needle from
front to back into next 2 sts
on LH needle. Slip these two
sts k-wise tog onto RH needle
without knitting them.
Step 2: Insert the RH needle
into the next st p-wise, then
slip onto the RH needle. You
have 2 slipped sts on the RH
needle, 1 slipped k-wise, 1
slipped p-wise.
Step 2: Knit the next st on
LH needle. Note that the
two slipped sts are sitting
unworked behind the st you
have just knitted.
Step 3: Insert the tip of the LH
needle from left to right up into
the front of the two slipped sts
(the RH needle is behind the LH
needle). Knit these two sts tog.
Step 3: Insert the tip of the
LH needle from left to right
into the front of the two
slipped sts and lift the two
slipped sts over the knitted st.
Step 1: Insert LH needle
from back to front below
the strand between the two
needles, lifting the strand
onto the LH needle.
Step 2: Insert the tip of
the RH needle from front to
back into the front of the
new loop on the LH needle.
Knit this st.
Step 1: Make a slipknot,
leaving a long tail of yarn
approximately three times the
length of the cast-on edge.
Place slipknot on needle and
draw up. Hold needle in RH.
Step 2: Holding working yarn
tensioned with LH fingers, hook
left thumb under working yarn
from back to front. Insert the
tip of the needle into front of
loop on left thumb. Tail yarn
is still held tensioned in RH
at this point.
Step 3: Use RH to bring tail
yarn up under needle, from
right to left. Take it between
thumb and needle, over the
top of the needle, and hold
tensioned to right. You should
wrap the yarn clockwise around
the needle as if to knit.
Step 4: Lift loop on left thumb
over tip of needle, remove
thumb and draw up working
yarn. Two sts on RH needle
(slipknot counts as one st).
Repeat steps 2-4 until number
of sts required has been cast on.

Sheep of the month
RYELAND
Expert grazers and top-quality wool producers, the
Ryeland sheep breed has been well-loved by farmers,
crafters and even royalty for centuries!
ORIGINS
Ryeland sheep are one of the oldest
British sheep breeds, and a lot of their
origin has been lost over time. However,
they are thought to be derived from the
Spanish Merino. The Ryeland breed got
its name from the monks of Leominster,
who bred the sheep and grazed them
on the rye pastures. According to the
Ryeland Flock Book Society, the breed
is numerically healthy in the UK and
their flock numbers have risen over
the years. Despite this, the flock sizes
have decreased owing to most breeders
keeping Ryeland sheep as a ‘hobby’
breed rather than for commercial farming.
This is thanks to their docile and easy-to-
handle nature.
THE SHEEP
Typically, Ryeland sheep are a medium-
sized breed without horns. Previously,
they have been popular for crossbreeding
with Dorset, Lincoln, Cotswold and
Leicester sheep in an attempt to improve
a variety of different breeds. In terms
of crossbreeding, Ryelands were also
poll gene, which produced sheep without
horns. When bred with the Dorset breed,
the Poll Dorset was born! Ryeland sheep
are known for their white wool, but they
sometimes produce coloured lambs.
Coloured Rye lands, as they’re known, have
no white wool gene and therefore will only
produce other Coloured Ryelands when
bred together.
THE WOOL
Ryeland sheep were once considered
to have one of the finest fleeces of all
British breeds at the time. Their superior
wool quality was attributed to their
grazing habits and the excellent pastoral
conditions in the areas in which they were
kept. During the 16th century, Queen
Elizabeth I was supposedly gifted a pair of
stockings made from Ryeland wool and, as
a result, she swore to only wear clothing
made from the breed! The fleece from a
Ryeland sheep is considered to be soft,
fluffy and highly desired by hand spinners
because of its springy and elastic nature.
It is warm to wear owing to the crimp of
the individual fibres which, once spun into
YARN SPOTLIGHT
Turn Acre farm creates wool and fibre
products using fleece from a mixture
of their own family flocks and those
of hand-picked British breeders. The
hand-spun yarn that they produce is
often born, and always, reared, sheared,
processed and spun in Calder Valley,
Yorkshire unless stated otherwise on their
products. Through their website, you can
buy individual balls of yarn or yarn kits
to create delightful projects from bags to
hats and cushions.

significant in the development of the Poll
Dorset, as they were used to produce the
yarn, creates air pockets which will keep
you warm even in the coldest of seasons.

to Precious Knits
for Baby
Your go-to collection of
patterns that little ones
will love.
Whether you’re searching
for a special heirloom gift
to welcome a newborn, or
looking for a cute make
youngsters will adore, we’ve got you covered with
more than 30 patterns for baby and beyond.
There is nothing quite like handmade knitwear to
create the ‘ah-factor’, like the super-sweet Nosegay
set on page 39, the stripy jumper on page 28 and
the Barley twist cardi on page 30. There are plenty of
delicate designs to get your needles clicking and the
compliments coming. Alternatively, if you’re on the
lookout for something seriously fun, check out the
choice of joyful ideas, including the Elephant parade
blanket on page 24 and the Lucy Lamb mitts on
page 34.
We’ve got a host of nursery makes to excite babies
and older kids, too, including heirloom gifts and story
time friends for you to make. Dressed in her sailor
suit, Blakeney Bunny on page 54 is the perfect pal for
an imaginative story time, Walking gnome on page 52
is fun for kids and adults and we know that you’ll fall
in love with Larry the labradoodle on page 64.
For cosy time, there are cushions to brighten the
nursery, and blankets in soft yarns that’ll soothe baby
to sleep in a cloud of gentle fibres. Turn to page 7
and flick through for makes like the gorgeously fun
hedgehog blanket on page 14.
We hope that you enjoy making some (or all!) of the
patterns in Precious Knits for Baby.
Happy knitting!

KIM SAYS:
“Nothing says
summer like pink
flamingos, so this is
a great accessory
to add a bright
burst of seasonal
fun to the nursery’’
The cushion is knitted in one piece
with fold lines and the side seams
are then sewn. The body of the
cushion is worked in St st and the
button band in Moss st. The flamingo
colourwork is worked using the
intarsia method and the chain stitch
detail is then added.
Before starting, wind off one ball of the
MC into three separate balls and the
CC into two, ready for the colourwork.
Twist the colours together at each colour

Judy’s Magic Cast-On: Hold two DPNs
together so that they are parallel to one
another. Make a slip knot and place the
loop on the top needle (needle 2, the other
needle is needle 1). Bring the tip of needle
1 over the tail yarn, around and under the
yarn then back up, making a loop around
needle 1. Pull the loop snug around the
needle. Rep with needle 2 and the working
yarn. Rep these steps until you have cast
on the necessary number of sts. To work
the sts, drop the yarn tail, then turn the
needles over so that needle 1 is on the
top. Pick up the working yarn and knit the
sts from needle 1, then knit into the back
of the loops of the sts on needle 2 (this
only needs to be done on the first rnd,
sts on future rnds will all be normal).
MIL: From the front, lift the loop between
sts with left needle, knit into back of loop.
