The Knitter Issue 223

The Knitter – Issue 223, December 2025

Our New Year collection brings you beautiful projects for winter using elegant stitches and special yarns! Cardigans are the stars of the show, and Issue 223 includes a fabulous blue and white Fair Isle design from Mary Henderson, a chic lace and bobble cardigan, and a contemporary lace V-neck design.

We have a chic waistcoat with acorn-inspired colourwork by Lisa Richardson, and a sculptural cowl with dramatic feather-like points by Outi Kater. Other projects include a Fair Isle headband, a poncho, a hot water bottle cosy, and Nordic sweaters for men and children.

Also in this issue, we chat with designer Alison Rendall about growing up on Shetland and her new Fair Isle book, explore the rare-breed yarns of Wild Woolers, and bring you expert tips on achieving a neater finish in our Masterclass.
