WELCOME
I-------
Welcome
to your cosy and colourful new issue of Knit Now!
This might be one of my favourite issues of Knit Now
that I’ve seen, with such a varied mix of patterns,
relaxing & Informative features and crammed with
expert advice.
As you take a woolly wander through this edition,
you’ll discover wonderful winter surprises, such as
the Lapland cushion on page 26, a gorgeous snowy
wonderland of a project that will make a statement on
any chair this festive period. However, if you're wanting
to make a statement with your wardrobe for many
years to come, Helen’s Novar set on page 56 is a
must-make, with its eye-catching ombre colourwork.
Speaking of the bold and beautiful statements, the cover star Kerissa cardigan
is one of my all-time favourite projects; this contemporary colourwork design
is brilliant for both smart and casual soirees. For a Christmas jumper that’s the
definition of fun, then Jane Burns's Naughty Noel jumper is THE one on page 50.
As always, we bring you the best from your favourite brands, with year-round
designs from Rowan in the form of a classic lace shawl, West Yorkshire Spinners
debut the must-have socks all inspired by British birds and more throughout these
knit & purl pages.
That’s all for now, until next time, happy knitting!

Our friends at Stylecraft have created a new
series of yarns to help you create gorgeous
autumn makes, as well as statement garments
and heirloom designs for Christmastime.
Up first is the Batik Swirl, which creates a
dappled effect to your projects and comes in a
wonderful array of complementary hues such
as the earthy Colorado River, soothing Lily Pond
and Northern Lights-hued Norwegian Fjord.
For those looking to add some seasonal
goodness to your stash, then try the chunky
Wonderland and Merry Go Round XL.
Wonderland creates partial pattern repeats
across the four new shades, each celebrating
traditional festive hues of robin red, fir
tree green and snowflake whites. Whereas
Merry Go Round XL, the super chunky of the
newbies, has year-round colour palettes,
with the likes of Holly & Ivy encapsulating all
that’s great about a traditional Christmas,
Apple Sours, a lip-smackingly bold mix of
lime, purple, teal and blues, and Rainbow,
a mirage medley of neon rainbow hues to
create a serious statement.

Ask the
EXPERTS
Are you hesitant turning a heel? Do you tremble at toe closures? Our team
of woolly experts is here to help with handy advice, top tips and clever
tricks to boost your sock-knitting skills!
Shelley asks...
I love knitting socks, but I always get distracted after the first
one! Am I destined to wear odd socks for the rest of my life?
Editor Wliks 6^)5...
You’re not alone! 'Second sock syndrome*,
as it’s often known in the knitting community,
is a very common problem - but it does have
a cure! Why not try knitting two socks at the
same time? There are two main methods.
The first option involves knitting one sock
inside the other at the same time on DPNs
and honestly... it’s very clever but not the easiest way to do it.
The most popular method involves using a long circular needle
and the magic loop technique. If you go to Google and search
"TAAT socks”, you’ll find a brilliant tutorial from Christine Perry,
also known as Winwick Mum. It does take a little practice, but
it’s worth persevering as it’s very satisfying seeing both socks
growing at the same time!
Annabelle asks...
Is there an alternative way to make cuffs on socks? I've
tried toe ups and top downs and so many different cast-
ons and cast-offs, but they still feel tight and scratchy!
Editor
Oooh this is a tricky one! My favourite
cast-on for a topdown sock is the
German twisted cast-on. If you’ve
tried that and you still find that it digs
in, have you checked the measurement of your calf? The
circumference of my calf where my sock ends is about
an inch bigger than the circumference of the widest part
of my foot, so I usually cast on for a bigger size and then
decrease those stitches before I get to the heel. If that
still doesn’t get to the bottom of the problem, why not
try a folded cuff? That way, the edge of your knitting isn't
right next to your skin. Some patterns, such as the Bobby
socks from Knit Now issue 90, have this feature built-in,
but to add a folded cuff to any sock pattern, simply work
double the length of the cuff and fold it over!

ASK THE EXPERTS
I----------------
Julie-Anne asks...
I find commercial socks
uncomfortable as I don’t
like the seams at the toes.
Someone suggested knitting
them myself but what would
be the best way to create
comfy toes?
Knitting teacher Vekfoie says...
If you’re not a fan of seams in your socks, grafting (also called
‘Kitchener stitch') is a good option for a smooth toe. Grafting
starts with a foundation set, then continues in a weaving motion,
seamlessly joining the edges of the toe.
Step 1: Divide sts evenly between two
needles. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail and
thread onto a darning needle (DN). Insert
DN к-wise into first st on front needle and
pull yarn through.
Step 2: Insert DN p-wise into first st on
back needle and pull yarn through.
Step 3: Insert DN к-wise into first st on
front needle and slip the st off needle.
Step 4: Insert DN p-wise into next st on
front needle and pull the yarn through.
Step 5: Insert DN p-wise into first st on
back needle and slip the st off needle.
Step 6: Insert DN к-wise into next st on
front needle and pull the yarn through. Rep
steps 3-6 until all sts have been worked.
Heather asks...
I mostly enjoy knitting socks, but I really don't love grafting the toe because I find
it too fiddly. Is there another option which doesn't leave me with a bulky seam?

Editor	5^)5...
Knobbly seams can really spoil an otherwise comfy sock,
can’t they? You could try working your socks from the
toe up, use Judy’s Magic Cast-on, which we’ve covered
in previous issues. However, I don’t think that option is
really any less fiddly than grafting. I recommend trying
a star-shaped toe, as shown here on the Santolina
socks from Knit Now issue 102. To knit this style, when
you reach the toe, simply place a stitch marker every 8
stitches around your sock. On the next rnd, work a k2tog before each marker. Knit
the next md without decreasing. Repeat these two rnds until you have only eight
sts. Remove the markers and k2tog to end. Break yarn, thread through remaining
sts and pull tight to fasten.

The cardigan is worked
flat from the bottom up,
starting with the body, so
the colourwork pattern can
flow continuously without
interruption. The body is then
divided for the back and fronts
and the pattern continues.
The sleeves are worked flat
separately, then seamed.
The all-over colourwork is
worked from charts. Strand
the unused colour loosely
across WS. Neckband and
buttonbands are picked up to
finish. Take extra care when
setting the colourwork at the
start of each piece, charts
begin with WS rows.

a sweater with a traditional Icelandic
patterned yoke knitted out of acrylic still
a lopi? Most Icelanders who would care
to argue would say ‘No, it’s not.’ And to
get the real experience, you really should
knit your sweater with Icelandic wool.
Icelandic scholar and fibre expert
Asdis Jbelsdottir provides a succinct
definition when we asked: ‘The Icelandic
lopi sweater is made from unspun
Icelandic wool (lopi) in natural colours
and knitted on circular needles, with a
band of pattern around the yoke and a
section of the pattern repeated around
the lower part of the body and the end
of the sleeves.’ Taking this as a starting
point, a lot of creative knitters have
played with, added and subtracted from
that definition to produce an ever-varying,
living design that can grow and change
with the times, but also pay homage to
the originals.
The lopapeysa is ubiquitous in Iceland:
it’s not just a tourist thing - nearly
everyone in Iceland has at least one lopi
with a story behind it. There aren’t any
obvious equivalents in America or the
United Kingdom in terms of clothing.
But the history of this national treasure
is a bit of a mystery. Nobody is exactly
sure where or when it appeared, but
most historians who’ve dug deep into it
agree that it was a lot more recently than
we might think. In her 2009 paper Nation
in a Sheep's Coat: The Icelandic Sweater,
Gudrun Helgadottir, PhD, calls the
Icelandic sweater an ‘invented tradition’:
“The Icelandic sweater as we now know
it emerged around the middle of the 20th
century and was influenced, on one hand,
by the nature of the material used and,
on the other hand, by folk patterns of
neighbouring nations. The sweater soon
became so popular that in my childhood,
during the 60s and 70s, one might say
that the sweater was the Icelanders’
uniform or vernacular national dress.
The Icelandic sweater was in tune with
the times: it was hand-made from natural
fibre, it had folk connotations and almost
every Icelandic woman could knit one.”
It's as though the lopi sprang fully formed
from the forehead of 1950s Iceland and
quickly became a symbol of the country
and a point of pride.
ICELAND YARN
SHOPPING
When you get to a wool store in
Iceland, you’ll find lopi, either unspun
or lightly spun, in a variety of weights:
Plotulopi - completely unspun wool
that comes in plates. People will often
take the outside end and the centre
end and knit with these together; this
is the most authentic way to knit your
sweater, but it’s not convenient
Einband - a single, fine-spun thread
for lace knitting made only from pel,
the soft undercoat; it’s also commonly
knitted held next to a strand
of Plotulopi.
Lettlopl - made of two strands
of Plotulopi.
Alafoss - a worsted weight equivalent
to three strands of Plotulopi.
Joklalopi - a bulky yarn (formerly called
‘Bulkylopl’ - not kidding) that’s twice
as thick as Alafoss. Use it for chunky
sweaters, mittens, hats and blankets.
Hosuband - a worsted weight that’s
reinforced with nylon to make it much
more resilient.

ICELAND’S HISTORY
OF WOOL
Sheep were introduced to Iceland by
the Vikings during the Middle Ages, and
because Iceland is an island, the sheep
have developed as a unique breed,
unknown anywhere else in the world.
These sheep have a double-coated
fleece that both insulates and keeps
them dry. There is a long, coarse, wiry
outer-coat fibre called the tog which has
water-repellent properties, and a warm
insulating inner coat called the thel
фе1). When the two coats are
used together, they make
lopi, and together they
give Icelandic wool the
unique characteristics
that make it ideal in
cold, wet weather and
allow it to be knitted
unspun. While typically
used to represent
Icelandic wool' in its
totality, the word ‘lopi’
actually means ‘roving’ in
Icelandic - roving is a band of
loosely connected fibre ready to be
made into yarn on a spinning wheel.
In 1923, a woman named Elin
Gudmundsdottir Snaehdlm wrote in the
magazine Hlin that she was able to
successfully use lopi in a sock-knitting
machine to make a scarf.
The chief value of knitting unspun fibres
was speed - if you could skip the spinning
process, you could get products to market
more quickly. In her 1985 book, Women’s
Work in Iceland for 1100 Years, Anna
Sigurdardottir writes that while Snaeholm
the sheep have
developed as a
unique breed,
unknown anywhere
else in the world
was the first to publish about knitting
with lopi, she wasn’t the first to actually
do it. Two women from Myrasysla,
Margret Sigurdarddttir and Gunnvor
Magnusdottir, successfully knitted unspun
wool by hand during the ‘great frost’ of
1917-18, when the weather caught them
unprepared for a sudden need for more
mittens and scarves. They kept their
discovery a secret though, embarrassed
by their unpreparedness.
In the mid-20th century, when a process
was developed that allowed the tog to be
separated, the soft pel was, for a while,
sold alone as a less expensive
alternative to merino. Today,
the vast majority of
Icelandic wool is sold
unseparated. Much
of the history of the
lopapeysa is the
history of Iceland, and
the world, coming to
love the pragmatism
of the lopi wool as it is:
rugged and functional.
The wool was a boon to the
Vikings, allowing them to move
into the Secondary Products Revolution,
transitioning from wearing primary animal
products, eg Hirs, to secondary products
like wool.
Alafoss was the major company behind
Icelandic yarn from the late 1800s until
they went bankrupt in 1991 and were
bought out by a consortium of former
employees and farmers who created
Istex from its ashes. Istex now produces
99% of the wool in Iceland and is a brand
used by British and international knitting
enthusiasts alike.

Pronunciations
Most consonants are pronounced
similarly to English.
Accent marks usually function like
doubling the vowel would in English,
a is pronounced as it is in far, but a is
ow! Like you stubbed your toe.
I and у and i and у are exactly the same;
they just accent some of them to make it
difficult for you to type Icelandic words,
e as in meh, but with an accent, e is like
file first half of an exasperated yeah -
think of the sound you would make if
someone asked you if you understood
Icelandic pronunciations.
An f functions either like an f or a v
and although there are rules, it’s
basically a com toss. Schoolteachers
in Iceland tell students ‘most Icelandic
grammar rules have more exceptions
than applicable cases’.
ж is the letter ‘ash’ and is pronounced
exactly like ey.
el, ey you’ll see often, and they both
make a long a sound.
hv shows up a lot, and is pronounced kv.
like ‘kvetch*.
j's are pronounced like y’s.
II - two I’s together - is pronounced with
a tl sound, like in little'.
о makes a sound like the ur in ‘urn’.
So 'Motorhead’ should actually be
pronounced ‘Mo-tur-head’.
r’s are rolled.
к p is the character ‘thorn’, like th
in The’.
D. d Is the character ‘eth’ and it also
makes a th sound.

To cut down the number of
balls of yarn you’re using
at one time, before joining
a new ball, wind it into
a cake so you can work
double-stranded by pulling
from the centre and the
outside at the same time
Because the cushion is
seamed with wrong sides
together, mattress stitch
doesn’t work well for
this pattern. Seam using
backstitch or whipstitch
This cushion cover is worked
flat in one piece, with a
garter panel for the back and
a mosaic panel featuring
Christmas trees on the front.
The sides are seamed together
at the end, leaving an opening
to easily insert and remove
the cushion pad. Yarn is held
double throughout the piece;
use two balls of the same
colour or locate both ends of
the ball.

Each row of chart corresponds
to two rows of knitting - a
RS row, worked Right to Left
across chart row, and a WS
row, worked Left to Right
across chart row.
Each row is worked with
only one colour (MC or CC),
indicated by the first stitch of
that row (the ’working colour’).
Colour is only changed at
start of RS rows. Do not break
yarns at each colour change,
carry them along side of work.
When slipping sts, keep yarn
stranded across back of work
and slip all sts p-wise.

Based on the original Peggy
Fbrtnum black and white
illustrations, this Paddington
sweater is a delight to make.
The illustration is worked
from a chart, using intarsia or
duplicate stitch (whichever you
prefer), and a few ‘sketch’ lines
are embroidered on afterwards.
If you are using the intarsia
technique, wind off smaller
balls of CC before you begin.
Alternatively, if you are a fan of
duplicate stitch (also known as
Swiss darning), you could use
this technique instead. A small
applique piece for the nose is
made separately and sewn on
at the end.

This is a fitted elbow-length
puffed-sleeve blouse with a
square neckline that features
an eye-catching mosaic.
Worked flat with modular
construction, starting with the
two front & back rectangles in
a twocolor mosaic pattern.
Then, both squares are joined
by picking up sts on the
sides and casting on for the
shoulders. Flanks and sleeves
are worked with MC in St st and
seamed. A decorative 4 st faux
cable shapes the sleeves. Hem,
cuffs, and neckline are worked
in broken rib and finished by
an Fcord. Circular needles are
recommended due to the st
counts; use them as you would
straight needles, turning after
each row.

I recommend measuring
your tension before and
after and account for any
changes in tension when
measuring your work.
Mosaic knitting creates
a quite dense fabric, so
the pattern recommends
a larger needle size for
this part
If you want to modify
the length of the body
and/or sleeves, work
more or fewer rows in
the broken rib sections
of hem and sleeves.

Finishing
Block to measurements and
weave in all ends.
Step by step - the i-cord cast-off
Step 1: After completing
the final row/round, with the
work on the LH needle, cast
on 3 stitches to the LH needle
(if you are knitting flat, turn
the work).
Step 4: Repeat steps 2-3 until
all stitches have been cast off
(3 sts on RH needle).
Step 2: Knit the first two
cast-on stitches, then work an
ssk by slipping the final cast
on stitch and picking up and
slipping the next stitch from
the body of the knitting, then
knitting into the back of both
stitches (3 sts on RH needle).
Step 5: To finish, break off
the yarn, leaving a 20cm tail
for sewing in. Thread the end
through the remaining stitches
and pull tight to fasten.
Step 3: Do not turn the work
(whether working flat or in
the round). Slip the 3 stitches
on the RH needle back to the
LH needle.
Step 6: To join the two ends,
slip the cast-off end inside the
cast-on end and stitch in place
neatly to secure the ends.

“Inspired by a quiet life on
the shores of Lake Simcoe
in Central Ontario, this
pattern captures the essence
of slow living and dreamy
tranquillity. The shimmering
waters, gentle breezes and
breathtaking sunsets weave
a tapestry of relaxation,
reminding me to savour each
moment and embrace the
unhurried beauty of life

Naughty Ыоё1
SWEATER
We’ve gone barking mad for this naughty pup jumper,
it’s paws-itively perfect!
This pullover is worked flat from
the bottom up in four pieces
and seamed. Stitches are
picked up around the neckline
edge for the collar. The dog
image is worked using the
intarsia colourwork and the
string of fairy lights is knitted
separately and sewn on. Use
the intarsia technique when
working the chart, preparing
separate small balls for
sections of colour and twisting
yarns to prevent holes.
Small details such as the facial
features and outline could
be worked in duplicate stitch
(Swiss darning) if you prefer,

Trap long floats at least every 5 sts and vary the trap point by at least 2 sts on the
next round to help prevent show-through.
You may find it helpful to place a stitch marker after each pattern repeat, removing
these markers on the first plain MC round after completing the charts.

British wool
the natural choice
for the perfect yarn

British wool’s 100% natural,
renewable and biodegradable
homegrown fibre provides the
perfect yam for any project.
British wool offers significant benefits including:
Colour - wide variety of natural colours from
beautiful hues of creams, browns to greys
and blacks.
Elasticity - wool fibre has a natural elasticity. It can
be compressed up to 20,000 times before breaking
and its superior resilience means it returns back into
its original shape every time.
Breathable - wool fibres actively react to changes
in body temperature, helping the wearer stay warm
and cool.
Sustainable - buying local wool products helps us
reduce our carbon footprint, boosts agriculture and
supports our local economy.

Mattress stitch
Step 1: Lay your two pieces
down side to side, RS facing
you. Anchor your yarn in the LH
piece and then in the RH piece.
Step 2: Look for the bar that
runs between the edge stitch
and the second stitch from the
edge. Run your darning needle
behind this bar, from bottom
to top.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 on the
RH piece, then back to the left,
then the right again for a few
stitches, leaving the working
yarn loose.
Step 4: Pull the working yarn
tight. This will ‘zip’ the two
sides together, leaving an
almost invisible seam. Continue
working in this manner until
seam is complete.

These fun festive figures
are worked flat in pieces
and then seamed. They only
require small amounts of
yarn, so would make excellent
stash busters. A little bit of
stranded colourwork (worked
from charts) is used for the
reindeer's sweater, but you
can miss this out if you are not
confident with this technique.

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
Step 3: Holding working yarn
firmly, pull loop through.
Step 4: Drop old st off
LH needle. 1 purl st has
been made.
RH needle.
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.
SKPorssk?
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 purl sts: With the
yarn at the front of the work,
take it from front to back over
between the needles and
back over the RH needle.
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.
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 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 1: Insert LH needle
from back to front below
the strand between the two
needles, lifting the strand
onto the LH needle.
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: 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
into the front of the two
slipped sts and lift the two
slipped sts over the knitted st.
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.
Long-tail cast-on
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
TEESWATER
Hailing from the stunning countryside of County
Durham, this beloved breed produces a wonderfully
unique fleece you’ll love to knit with
ORIGINS
The Teeswater’s ancestors are rumoured to
have arrived in Britain with the Romans but,
according to Louise of www.woolwork.org
(whose word I always trust on all things
woolly), we probably have 18th-century
agriculturalist Robert Bakewell to thank
for the current breed of Teeswater sheep,
along with their longwool cousins, the
Wensleydale and Masham.
In more recent years, our friends over
in the USA have been busy breeding their
own lineage of lustre-wool sheep, including
a uniquely American Teeswater. Meanwhile
here in the UK, the principle use for
Teeswater sheep nowadays, according to
World of Wool, is in the production of a
Masham sheep - which is a cross-breed
of Teeswater and Swaledale sheep.
THE SHEEP
I have to admit that my love of Teeswater
is in part a little superficial. They’re just so
adorable, with their sweet dappled faces
and long curly locks! They remind me of
Komondor dogs, and maybe a little bit of a
mop - but in the best way possible!
From a more objective viewpoint, one
of the best things about the Teeswater is
how hardy it is. The ewes are known to
live long, healthy lives, even in cold and
windswept climates - which is just what
you’d expect from a good Northern lass!
KATE HEPPELL
Kate is the Commissioning Editor here at
Knit Now and she’s not ashamed to say
that she’s somewhat of a fleece fanatic!
THE WOOL
This is the part where I start getting really
excited! Lustre wools (of which Teeswater
is an example) are some of my all-time
favourites to work with. As you can
see from the photos, the fleece is long
and creamy, with a gentle crimp. If you
want to try learning to spin, I very much
recommend Teeswater fleece available
from www.worldofwool.co.uk. Because
of how long the individual fibres are, it
makes it much easier to learn with. What
this also means for us as knitters is that
it is smooth and shiny, almost silky with a
lovely drape and a little bit of a halo. It’s
the perfect yarn for knitting any project
with an element of lace because it blocks
beautifully and holds its shape well.

TRY SOME TEESWATER
Teeswater yarn is hard to come by,
but you will find it used to wonderful
effect in the Tamar range from Blacker
Yarns, alongside other lustre wools such
as Wensleydale and Masham.

Join side seam and stuff.

arm to centre of Blanket.
Secure Head on top of Arms.
Cilia’s tips
In order to not overstuff the
reindeer, make sure your
stuffing doesn’t have any
lumps or bumps and stuff
a little at a time. Don’t be
afraid to pull it all out and
start again!
If you’re substituting the
yarn for a different weight,
use needles two sizes
smaller than stated on the
yarn band, as this creates a
tighter fabric and will prevent
the stuffing from showing
through the stitches.

Most ornaments are worked
in the round in the manner of
a toe-up sock, using a double-
sided cast-on such as Judy's
Magic cast-on or Turkish cast-
on, with paired side incs and
decs for shaping. Embroidered
details, button and pipe cleaner
embellishments are added
afterwards. The Candy Cane
is made as i-cord with a pipe
cleaner inside to help shape it.
The garland is made of three
strands of i-cord and the
ornaments can be stitched on,
or given ribbon loops enabling
them to be threaded on. Use
the crochet chain cast-on or
your preferred double-sided
cast-on method.
An i-cord making tool, such as
a hand-cranked machine or a
French knitting spool, may be
used to make the garland and
could be a great way to involve
other family members who
don’t knit!

Joanne’s tips
Personalise your
gingerbread people to make
them resemble your own
family by creating matching
family members and
using embroidery “icing”
to decorate them with
the right colour hair and
favourite clothing.
If time is short, buy
fancy cord or ribbons for
the garland instead of
making i-cord.
