The Knitter – Issue 221, November 2025

Get set for winter with our collection of cosy knits in Issue 221! Designs for you include a sumptuously cabled longline sweater, a Nordic colourwork cardigan, an elegant textured jumper, and a chic sweater with balloon sleeves and a flowing rib pattern.

Super stashbuster ideas include a lace shawl from Anniken Allis, a Fair Isle scarf, and a neat cabled hat – ideal as a last-minute gift! We also bring you a beautiful Christmas wreath decorated with knitted roses, mistletoe and stars. Our pattern collection includes a cabled raglan sweater for men, and an adorable colourwork cardigan for children that has little house-shaped pockets.

Our special supplement showcases the new yarn from West Yorkshire Spinners, called Morris DK, which was inspired by the iconic Arts & Crafts designer William Morris. We have a fascinating article about William Morris and the development of this new yarn, along with a Fair Isle tank top design from Mary Henderson, called ‘Kelmscott’.
