The Knitter 98 / 2016

Celebrate the joys of spring with issue 98, by casting on projects featuring fresh colours and delicate stitch patterns. We bring you a traditional Fair Isle tank top by Mary Henderson; Emma Vining, meanwhile, has taken a more modern approach with her intriguing sideways-knitted top.

We also have light, versatile tops and cardigans from Anniken Allis, Sarah Hatton and Pat Menchini, plus a charming, seamless cap-sleeved jumper from Katya Frankel. Quick-knit treats for you include pretty socks and a smart Fair Isle iPad cover.

We love the writings of Clara Parkes, and we’re delighted to have an exclusive extract from her new book. We also explore the issue of adapting armholes on your sweater projects for a perfect fit, in our expert Masterclass feature.
