The Knitter caters for skilled knitters with more than 10 challenging patterns in each issue. The Knitter has beautiful, original patterns and inspiration from world-class designers. Our patterns aren’t just fabulous to look at, they’re enjoyable to make, with a few unusual techniques and intriguing ways with yarns for you to try.

The Knitter Issue 169 • Fill your autumn days with glorious colour! Beautiful designs to cast on today include an elegant lace shawl by Anniken Allis on p49, Bronagh Miskelly’s mock cable socks on p79, and a vibrant intarsia sweater from Dario Tubiana on p65. Plus, we explore the lovely hand-dyed hues of Fruitful Fusion, and the best yarns for your seasonal knitting.
