The Knitter Issue 218

The Knitter – Issue 218, August 2025

Enjoy the summer and start planning your autumn knitting projects with Issue 218! We have a mix of projects for you in this issue, from three lightweight shawls and short-sleeve tops, to cosier pieces for layering.

Designs include a beautiful wrap by Kath Andrews, modern intarsia from Lucy George, two handsome patterns for men, and a romantic lace cardigan by Lisa Richardson. We have three sleeveless tops, and a pair of elegant lace socks from Bronagh Miskelly. Our masterclass explores how to shape your shoulders and sleeve caps more neatly, and we review the best new yarns, books and tools for knitters.

Our special supplement celebrates King Cole’s 90th anniversary and its gorgeous new Luxury Yak yarn, and includes a chic cabled cardigan for women, and a classic V-neck tank top for men.
