The Knitter Issue 220

The Knitter – Issue 220, October 2025

Issue 220 is our annual festive gifts issue, where we bring you fabulous ideas to knit and share with friends and family! Our collection of 18 inspirational patterns includes a traditional Fair Isle hat and mitts, a modern modular scarf and hat set, yuletide colourwork socks, and cute knits for children.

There’s so much more to Issue 220, with stylish autumn designs to cast on for yourself, too! Garment projects include a chic cardigan with a cable and nupp fabric, a cosy lace poncho, and a lace yoked jumper. Plus, we have two handsome designs for men.

Our special supplement showcases Yarnsmiths’ super-colourful Merino DK range – which has a palette of 120 shades to choose from! We have two designs for you: a modern gansey sweater for women, designed by Pat Menchini, and a chic tank top by Emma Vining which has a textured pattern of hexagons and diamonds.
