WELCOME
I---------
Welcome...
...to our Pumpkin Spice-themed issue of Knit Now!
П Perfect patterns
All of our patterns go through five stages of expert
checks before publication to make sure that they
are as clear and accurate as possible.
c Here to help
If you need advice with a pattern, more photos or
knitting tips, you can email me and I’ll help you out.
Yes, grab your needles, pour your seasonal hot
drink of choice, and settle down for some delicious
patterns. There are autumn colours aplenty in this
issue; will you choose our gorgeous Casta cover
jumper in vivid scarlet (page 14), a double-layered
lace cowl and hat set in orange and blue (page 37),
or a brioche knit (page 28) in chartreuse? If you
can’t decide, Rowan’s new Bessie sweater (page 41)
might be just the ticket - the colourwork in Felted
Tweed combines multiple colours to stunning effect!
Of course, if you prefer a smaller knit, we have
those too. Try Sophie McKane’s fox hoodie (page
60) for a cute baby make, or give mosaic knitting a go with the gorgeous Biskviit
cushion on page 20.
Speaking of small knits, our feature on orange cardigans (page 46) shows that
little makes can have a big impact - it’s a fascinating read about a hidden piece
of Canada’s colonial history. For something on the more uplifting side, read our
interview on page 19 with Maddie Harvey, or learn some brioche knitting tips from
our resident expert Debbie (page 26).
Happy (and cosy) knitting!

Whatever your knitting dilemma, our knitting experts are here to help
- and this month it’s a sock-knitting extravaganza!
Kathleen asks...
I’m struggling to get
a good fit in my socks
when I use a short-row
heel. What can I do?
Marina asks...
I want to try knitting socks but I’m
overwhelmed with the choice of yarn. What
would you recommend?
Editor Jo says...
I completely understand
your dilemma! There are
so many fantastic sock
yarns out there that it
can feel totally baffling
when you’re trying to
choose one. One thing
that you have to put
out of your mind when
knitting socks is softness
- you want your socks
to be hard-wearing when they’re used, which
often means they don’t feel super-soft against
your skin. The best sock yarn is tightly spun or
made from strong fibre - or ideally both. One
of the most popular yarns that hits both points
is West Yorkshire Spinners Signature Sock - it
comes in a huge range of solid and patterned
shades and it’s excellent value. Even better, it’s
made right here in the UK. If you want to see how
different yarns knit up, take a look at Instagram -
#operationsockdrawer is packed
with inspiration.
0-f Content
The short-row heel is probably the one we’re most
familiar with before we start knitting our own socks, as
almost all shop-bought socks use short-row heels. With
the yarn these commercial socks are made in, this is
fine - but hand-knitted socks are often not as springy
or stretchy so we need to pay closer attention to the
shape of the foot to get a good fit. Unfortunately in my experience, the short-
row heel shape doesn’t work for everyone, depending on the shape of the foot.
However, there are some short-row heel sock patterns that are written to give
you more flexibility with fit, so keep an eye out for those. I can recommend the
Lika socks that we published in issue 92.

ASK THE EXPERTS
)
Pauline asks...
I love knitting socks but
my cast-on is always too
tight. Is there a different
cast-on I can try?
Jayne says...
There are so many stretchy options for cast-ons,
beyond the usual knitted or long-tail cast-ons
that we are taught when we first learn to knit.
One of my favourites is the tubular cast-on - it
starts with a figure-of-eight cast-on where the
yarn is wrapped around two needles in a figure-
of-eight motion and then one round is knitted
- head to www.craftworld.com for a step-by-step
guide. Then, when you have all the stitches you
need, you alternate kl into the stitch on the
front needle, then pl into the stitch on the back
needle until all stitches have been worked. It
creates a lovely neat edge which runs perfectly
into kl, pl rib and is nice and stretchy for socks.
Linda asks...
Hole in the corner of your gusset?
Ladder at the edge of your heel flap?
I keep getting gaps in
my socks, usually along
the heel-flap edge -
what can I do?
DON’T Pick up a stitch from the bar that runs
between stitches - this won’t help much
DON’T Only pick up from one loop
at the edge of the heel flap
Knitting
WcMr
ОйШ# 5^)5...
Getting this part right
all comes down to how
you pick up stitches
around the heel. Here’s
my guide to making sure
you’re doing it right.
DO Pick up through both loops for a nice neat finish
DO Pick up a stitch through the V of the stitch that
sits at the bottom of the heel flap

MADDIE HARVEY
We talked to designer Maddie Harvey about the power of creativity,
the knitting community and her design process
Hi Maddie! Could you
introduce yourself?
I’m a knitwear designer and knitting teacher
based in Edinburgh. I write patterns, sell
knitting kits and run online events. My main
passion is helping knitters use patterns
as a base to develop their creativity and
confidence. My main bugbear is badly-written
patterns; I work hard to make sure my
patterns are really well written, so people feel
confident about what they’re doing.
In terms of your process, what comes
first, writing or designing?
It’s usually a bit of both! I’ve just recently
started using mood boards for myself. I’ve
found that really useful. Then I do some
sketching and swatching. I love swatching -1
would swatch forever - and I love playing
around with patterns. I will probably write the
pattern as I’m knitting, then I work with my
Tech Editor to do quite a bit of editing. When
you’re the designer, you know the pattern and
how it works out, and actually, something very
simple to look at can be quite complicated
when it’s written down.
Why is confidence so important?
I often meet knitters lacking in confidence
when they’ve followed instructions
and created a wonderful thing they
should be proud of. New knitters don’t
always understand that patterns
have a whole language of their own,
so I spend a lot of time at the Knit Nights
I do locally explaining what patterns mean.
When you create something, it’s very
powerful - it’s good for your confidence and
sense of self.
What came first for you, teaching
or designing?
Teaching, because I used to be a primary
school teacher! When I was raising my kids,
I joined a local knit night, and the woman
who ran it did children’s knitting classes
in schools. I started off helping out at
those and eventually took over from her.
But then I noticed when I was knitting
patterns. I’d always be tweaking them - I’d be
thinking, “I could reverse that lace pattern”,
or “I could change the stripes”, and that’s
how I started designing.
We don’t knit out of necessity as
much anymore - it’s more about
bringing joy or pleasure or a sense
of calm...
Connecting to other knitters is also significant
- for me, half of the joy of knitting is the
social aspect. You can knit on your own, but
you actually come on so much if you enjoy
a knitting group. I’ve had really experienced
knitters come along to the groups for the first
time, and it’s encouraged them to try new
things - they might have knitted their first
pair of socks or bought a hand-dyed yarn - it
opens up a whole new world.
Where can people connect with you?
I’m on Instagram as harveyknits, and I run
a seasonal KAL - #MHDseasonalKAL. I also
have a Facebook group that you can find
at www.facebook.com/harveyknits. I love
meeting people and finding out if they’ve tried
my designs!

In this issue we’re looking
at brioche - not the kind
you’ll find in the bakery,
but the (equally scrumptious!)
knitting technique. The most
important thing is in recognising
the stitches and remembering
that where you make a yarnover
and slipped stitch (sllyo) these
two stitches count as a single
stitch and are worked as one.
Brioche is unusual in that each
row is effectively worked twice.
In colour brioche this will be
once in the main colour and
once in the contrasting colour.
This has the effect of creating
a fully reversible fabric with
one colour dominant on one
side (Side A) and the contrast
colour dominant on the other
(Side B) - magic!

THE BASICS
Slip 1 yarnover (sllyo)
BRIOCHE KNIT 1 (BRK1)
(ALSO CALLED ‘BARK’ IN SOME PATTERNS)
A brkl will normally follow a sllyo, as can be seen here
Step 1: Bring the working yarn to the
front of the work and insert the RH
needle into the next stitch on the LH
needle purlwise (as if you were going to
purl the next stitch).
Step 1: Following the sllyo the working yarn
comes from the front of the work, over the
RH needle. Insert the RH needle into the
paired yarnover and slipped stitch from the
previous row. Note how in colour brioche
the yarnover and slipped stitch are different
colours. (Here the yarnover is pink, the
slipped stitch yellow).
Step 2: Knit the yarnover and
slipped stitch together as one stitch
(like a regular k2tog).
BRIOCHE PURL 1 (BRP1)
(ALSO REFERRED TO AS ‘BURP’)
Again, this stitch is usually worked following a sllyo
Step 2: Keeping the yarn in front, slip the
stitch onto the RH needle without working
it. Take the yarn over the RH needle and
hold to the back of the work ready for the
next stitch.
top fip5-
• When starting a round or moving
the needles, be particularly careful
to make sure the yarnover is in
place and that the work isn’t
twisted (yarnover at start of round)
• Use a padlock stitch marker to
indicate the end of the round
• At the end of a round when you are
changing colours, keep the yarn you
have just used to the front of the
work ready for the next round
• Lostyour place? The colour of the
yarnover indicates the colour you
should be working. Check which is
the MC and CC and the colour will
then show whether you are on a
brk or brp round
• Watch for the yarnover drifting ahead
of the stitch in front. Tease it back
over the slipped stitch if necessary
Step 1: Bring the working yarn to the front of
the work and slip the next stitch purlwise.
Step 3: Insert the RH needle up into the front
of both the yarnover and the slipped stitch
from the previous row (here the yarnover is
pink, the slipped stitch yellow).
Step 2: Bring the working yarn between the
needles to the front of the work, wrapping it
round the RH needle.
Step 4: Purl the slipped stitch and yarnover as
one (like a p2tog).

Sizing
Hat: one size
Cowl: Short (Medium, Long),
shown in size Medium
This colourful double-layered hat
and cowl are worked in the round
from the bottom up. A pompom
in contrasting yarn tops off the
hat. A provisional cast-on is used
at the junction of the two layers
which are joined and then the
inner layer is worked. The lace
pattern uses elongated picked
up sts which are simpler to work
than they look, and you can
choose to work from a chart or
written instructions whichever
you prefer. When working the long
loops in the Autumn Star pattern,
take care to draw the loops up to
the height of the rest of the work.

Join layers
Turn Inner Layer so that the WS
is now on the outside. Place the
Inner Layer inside the Outer Layer,
with WS held tog. Holding the 2
LH tips of the needles parallel,
use working CC (attached to LH
needle of Inner Layer) to join the
layers as follows:
**Next Rnd: With other end of
larger needle, *k2tog working
1 st from each layer; rep from
* to end. 121 sts
Cast off using the i-cord
cast-off.**
Weave in all ends at this stage
so they can be hidden between
the layers.

Key
"Layering knits with a lining is
great for adding warmth and
making accessories windproof.
The outer layer requires a bit of
concentration, but this pattern
uses plain stocking stitch for
the linings so it’s a great excuse
to put on a favourite film or
series and develop your skills
at knitting without constantly
looking down!”
Unzip provisional cast-on of
Outer Layer and place resulting
live sts on larger circular
needles, taking care that all
sts are correctly mounted,
and set aside.
Rep for Inner layer, placing
sts on smaller circular
needles.
With RS facing, rejoin CC and rep
from ** to **.
Finishing
Block to measurements shown
on schematic and weave in rem
ends between layers.

This drop-sleeve jumper is worked
flat in pieces using the stranded
colourwork technique. By working
the same charted pattern but
varying the colours used, a
complex yet harmonious design
is created. Chart key colours are
given in the order they are worked
on each successive repeat.
Refer to the photos to check
your progress as you work the
colourwork pattern.

KNITTING jS
Indian residential school system. In the late
1800s Canada’s Indian residential school
system was running a network of mandatory
boarding schools for Indigenous people.
The network was funded by the Canadian
government’s Department of Indian Affairs
and administered by Christian churches,
with the greatest number being run by
the Catholic Church. The objectives of the
residential school’s system were to remove
and isolate children from the influence of their
home, families, traditions and cultures, and
to assimilate them into European culture.
Approximately 150,000 children were taken
into residential schools over the decades
and were subjected to many forms of abuse,
neglect, and murder. The last residential
school was closed only recently in 1997. It
is believed that thousands of children died
while attending these schools. Their bodies
were never returned to their families who were
ignored when they searched for their children.
Today, over 50% of children in the foster care
system are Indigenous, while accounting for
only about 7-8% of our child population.
This display of orange jumpers in the window of
Rosehaven Yarn, Ontario has a powerful story to tell.
We sat down with owner Lesley to find out more
Tell us about yourself and the
fantastic Rosehaven Yarn Shop
I’ve owned Rosehaven Yarn Shop in Picton,
Ontario, Canada for eight years, and it’s my
favourite place! I’ve worked to make the shop
a unique and welcoming space with a wide
range of yarn, from one-of-a-kind hand-dyed
yarn to tried-and-true brands. Rosehaven has a
fantastic community of local and long-distance
knitters from the far reaches of Canada and
beyond, visiting us in the shop and online.
Rosehaven Yam Shop recently had a
window display that was very powerful.
Could you tell us more about the piece?
It is inspired by events related to Canada’s
What is the significance of the display
of orange jumpers?
When the first unmarked gravesites of
215 children was revealed at Kamloops,
British Columbia’s residential school site
there was a cry for more involvement from
the government to bring reparations to
the Indigenous people of Canada. To date,
hundreds more unmarked graves have been
found at other former residential school
sites. There were 140 schools in Canada
so the expectation is that there will be
thousands of children’s graves uncovered.
The display concept originated from a
Facebook post of mini knitted orange

sweaters by Jennifer Symons. When this
post was shared with me, I thought it
would be a brilliant way to bring awareness
of the issue to the public, so I started
knitting them along with the Rosehaven
community.
The orange colour comes from the story of
a woman who attended a residential school.
Her grandmother took her shopping for new
clothes for the residential
school she would attend that
autumn. They bought a bright
orange shirt that she was
excited to wear when she
got to the school. When she
arrived at the school all her
clothes and every personal
item was taken from her and
burned. She never got to wear
that orange shirt that her grandmother had
saved so hard to buy for her. The orange shirt
is now a symbol for all those who survived,
struggled, and died while under the care and
supervision of the church and government.
What was the process of creating this
piece like?
I approached the owners of Estelle Yarns and
they generously donated orange yarn to the
project. I also gathered every bit of orange
yarn available in the shop for anyone who
offered to knit a mini sweater, so the yarn
would be free for that purpose. We shared
all the knitting and crochet mini sweater
patterns we could find. I spread the word to
“We are so
lucky to work
with our
passion”
create these mini orange sweaters through
Facebook. Very quickly sweaters were
dropped off and mailed from across Ontario
and into the US.
As I added the hundreds of sweaters to a
length of yarn it reached across the width
of my shop many times over. As more grave
sites were revealed, we continued knitting
and stringing. Today we are at 394 sweaters
with expectations of reaching
1,000. Each sweater is unique
and individual, just like the
child they represent. Some
have heart buttons
sewn on, or ribbon, a bit
of cable work or purled,
heart-shaped stitches.
What are your hopes
for the future of the piece?
We are continuing to add to the display
and will do so until 30th September. This
date is significant, being a day when
buses came to take children away. We
are looking into taking this display to
the federal government in Ottawa, thereby
adding our voices to the growing calls
for justice and accountability, as well as
to libraries and schools to continue
raising awareness. It is our ultimate
hope to continue to raise awareness
and funds in support of the return of the
Indigenous languages and culture that
was stripped away by these horrific
governmental policies.
What impact has the window
display had?
Since the window went on display on 21st
June, the impact has been powerful. The
sight of those hundreds of little sweaters
alongside the explanation has brought many
passers-by to tears. The sweater knitters
have also shed tears as they worked and
ruminated over this terrible loss of life. I have
watched parents explain what the display is
about to their children in front of the window.
This part of the Canadian story has been well
hidden. People have come into the store just
to say thank you for the display and for being
willing to stand up and speak out. We’ve cried
together as we talk. We encourage everyone
who is moved by the display or the situation
to donate to Indigenous-led organisations
to help rebuild the culture that has been
suppressed for so long. Locally, we support
Tsi Tydnnheht Onkwaw£n:na in Tyendinaga,
an organisation dedicated to teaching the
Mohawk language and culture.
You can support the fantastic work
of Tsi Tyonnheht Onkwawenma via
its registered charity at

OMg tip
When sewing up using a roving yarn like
Re:Treat, it can be helpful to twist your
tapestry needle a couple times after every few
stitches. Roving is a low-twist yarn which gives
it a gorgeous lofty feel, however when sewing
up, it can start to unravel. Twisting your needle
puts back the twist into the yarn and makes it
stronger to use in seams
Finishing
Sew sleeves in position by folding
sleeve cast-off edge in half and
matching fold to shoulder seams
and row ends to markers. Join
side and sleeve seams. Attach
buttons to correspond with
buttonholes. Weave in all ends.

At Knit Now, we're passionate about
supportingthe incredible diversity of local
yarn shops up and down the country, al I year
round. Not just because we love to touch
and feel some yarn from time to time (and
take it home and knit it!), but also because of
the unique and valuable communities which
grow up around our shops. Just like our local
pubs, butchers and post offices though, it’s
deal-ifwe stop calling in to our local knitting shops
new set of needles or book on to a class, we will lose them,
and the community that goes along with them.
The good news is that, as knitters, there's something very simple that
we can do to keep these vital community hubs open. Just keep visiting
your local shop! As an extra incentive, when you buy Knit Now, you'll be
able to get special discounts at participating stores up and down the
country. This month, why not take the time to find your local shop and
pay them a visit?

Inside the
^"studio with
NORTH
SHIREYARNS
We sat down with Anika of North Shire Yarn to find out
more about what goes into making breath-taking yarn
Tell us about yourself
I live in beautiful North Yorkshire with my
husband and my two Cocker Spaniels. I
am rarely seen without knitting needles in
my hand, when I am not at my dye pots in
the studio. I have been knitting for over five
years now, having picked it back up after my
grandma taught me to knit when I was only
about seven or eight. I cannot imagine a life
now without knitting in it. I have a chronic
autoimmune condition and, when that flares
up (which thanks to the awesome NHS is rare
now), knitting is great to keep me entertained
and distracted. Even when I’m well, knitting is
the best mindfulness activity and has really
helped my confidence as a person. Being
able to knit and work out challenging patterns
or new knitting skills, as well as producing
items that fit me perfectly and having an ever-
growing collection of handmade items to wear
feels wonderful and I get a lot of joy from that.
What is a typical day look like at
North Shire Yarns?
It starts with a cup of Yorkshire tea! I start
everything with a cup of tea. On a typical
dye day at NSY, I have a ritual: I make a
cuppa, and then sit and look through
notes I made on what I want to dye in
terms of colours, and then I decide which
bases I want to dye those colours on. Once
I have made my decision on that, I soak the
yarn as that needs a good hour before it can
be dyed.
Once that is ready, I make another cuppa
before I start dyeing the yarn. Depending on
what I am dyeing and how many batches I am
doing on that day (speckled or variegated or
semi solids, the process differs quite a bit),
this can take anywhere from two to six hours.
Once I am happy with the yarn, it needs to set
for another hour, which gives me some time
to respond to any emails or messages and
pack orders ready to ship.
I usually go and check on the yarn a few
times while it is setting. The last steps then
are to let the yarn cool down a bit before I
then rinse and wash it (I wash yarn in a gentle
eco friendly wool wash after it’s been rinsed,
to make as sure as possible that all excess
76 www.craftworld.com
dye is washed out and the yarn is lovely and
soft and ready to use)
When the yarn is washed, I just need to spin
the skeins to get rid of most of the water and
then they get hung up to dry. This is usually
when, you guessed it, I make yet another cup
of tea and take a few minutes to appreciate
the yarn I have dyed that day.
On days where I am not dyeing, there are as
many cups of tea, but rather than dyeing, I
process orders and twist
and label skeins that are dry
after dyeing and photograph
them and then add them to
my website.
You dye a lot of
absolutely stunning
luxury yarn. Can you
tell us a little bit about
what goes into this process?
I started dyeing yarn for myself before this
became my business, so the bases I have
now are very much what I like to use, and I
think that will always be the case. I only dye
on bases that I personally want to use. My
first yarn love was my baby alpaca, cashmere
and silk blend, and it has remained my
favourite to this day. This blend takes dye
quite differently to sheep wool for example,
so when I decide which colours to dye, I also
need to think about how those will look on
each base. Aside from that, I also try to plan
“I cannot
imagine a life
now without
knitting in it”
out how a colourway will look when its knitted
or crocheted and that influences how I place
the dye on the yarn. Short and long colour
changes look very different once the yarn is
used, so it’s something quite intentional for
me during the dyeing process.
What inspires your dyeing?
That’s a tricky one to answer as so many
things inspire me! It might be a movie I have
watched and the characters
in it, or it can be food I
have seen, or it might be
something I have seen
on a walk with my dogs.
Flowers and plants and
the sky on a particular day
can all become yarn. My
husband is now quite used
to me stopping in random
places to take a quick photo of something
that I feel needs to become yarn. After years
of this, he is no longer confused as to why
I stop to photograph a street sign or a door
on a house. I am very lucky as my family and
friends also know what inspires me, so they
send me frequent photos just to feed my
inspiration, which is lovely.
You dye personalised yarn. Tell
us more!
Dyeing personalised or custom yarns is one
of my very favourite things to do. I have done
FEATURE
)
custom dyes for bridesmaids’ shawls and
heirloom baby blankets, which is such a lovely
feeling, to be able to contribute to such a
special day. The way it works: just send me
a photo of what you want to have turned into
a yarn colourway and then I dye whatever
colours you have in the picture you send me
on the yarn base you have chosen.
I’ve had pictures of flowers and dresses and
scenery (the Yorkshire heather moors was
one of my favourites). I am always happy to
advise on which yam base to pick, based on
the colours and project that you are wanting
to make. I don’t set a minimum order amount,
and I don’t charge extra for custom dyes. I will
always dye a batch of 10 skeins, and then any
left after the custom order has been placed
(after you have seen photos of the finished
yarn and you are sure you are happy with it) is
made available on my website.
Do you have any exciting plans for the
future you can share with us?
As I write this, my new studio is waiting for me
to move in! It’s been a few months of building
work and lots of chaos and mess, but now
its ready. I can see its roof from where I look
through the window right now, and I cannot
wait to move in later today!
Aside from that, I am very much looking
forward to in person yarn shows later this
year, and then hopefully more of them next
year. I have missed seeing my customers in
person very much.

Sizing
one size
This shawl from our archives, originally published in issue 19,
combines lace and beading for the perfect autumn accessory
The shawlette only uses
approximately 250m of the skein
so you’d have enough left over to
make a pair of matching mitts.

Tbp tip
Take care that your stitch
marker doesn’t slip under
the yarnover, the marker
should be to the right of the
centre stitch when looking
at the RS of the work. You
might find it easier to use a
locking marker in the centre
stitch and move it up every

The Farrier pullover is worked
from the top down in pieces,
with the front and back worked
separately, then blocked
and joined together at the
shoulders. The stitches for the
sleeves are picked up across
the shoulder and worked
down to the cuff. The pullover
is seamed, and stitches are
picked up around the neck to
work the neckband in the round.
The travelling cable panel is
designed as a sash; it begins
on the wearer’s left shoulder
and then ‘moves’ diagonally to
the right hip using increases
and decreases on either side of
the panel. The cable patterns
can be worked from chart or
written instructions.

THE BASICS
Essential
KNITTING SKILLS
If you’re a new knitter or returning after a break, here’s our guide to some
of the most common stitches used in this issue
Step 1: Insert RH needle from
left to right into front of next st.
Step 2: Wrap yarn clockwise
around RH needle.
Step 3: Holding working yarn
firmly, pull loop through.
Step 4: Drop old st off LH needle.
1 knit st has been made.
Step 1: Insert RH needle from
right to left into front of next st.
Step 2: Wrap yarn anti-
clockwise around RH needle.
Step 3: Holding working yarn
firmly, pull loop through.
Step 4: Drop old st off LH needle.
1 purl st has been made.
I Grafting
Divide sts equally between
two needles. Cut yarn, leaving
a long tail, and thread onto a
darning needle (DN). Insert
DN p-wise into 1st st on front
needle and pull yarn through.
SKP or ssk?
There are lots of different ways to work a left-leaning decrease
but we like the ‘improved ssk’ method (shown opposite) best
because it gives a neat-looking decrease. However, you can
always change this for an ‘SKP’ or ‘sll, kl, psso’ decrease if
you prefer and your pattern will still work
Insert DN k-wise into 1st st
on back needle and pull yarn
through. * Insert DN k-wise
into 1st st on front needle and
slip the st off needle. Insert
DN p-wise into next st on
front needle and pull the yarn
through. Insert DN p-wise into
1st st on back needle and slip
this st off the needle. Insert
DN k-wise into next st on back
needle and pull yarn through.*
Rep from * to * until all sts
have been worked.
End to end: Lay pieces RS up
and together. Thread yarn onto
darning needle (DN). Secure
two corners at RH edge.
Working from right to left,
♦insert DN under the ‘V’ of the
next st in top piece, pull gently,
insert DN under the ‘V’ of the
opposite st in bottom piece,
pull gently; rep from * until
seam is complete.
Side to side: Lay pieces RS up
and together. Thread yarn onto
darning needle (DN). Secure two
corners at RH edge. Pull apart
slightly so you can see the
‘ladder’ of horizontal strands
between columns of sts. Working
from right to left, *with DN, catch
first ‘rung’ of ladder on RH piece.
Catch the opposite ‘rung’ on LH
piece and pull gently until the two
edges meet; rep from *
until seam is complete.

THE BASICS
I-----------
Between knit sts: Start with
yarn at back. Bring yarn forward
from back to front between the
needles and back over the
RH needle.
Slip, slip, knit (ssk)
Step 1: Insert the RH needle
into the next st к-wise, then slip
it onto the RH needle without
knitting it.
Between purl sts: With the yarn
at the front of the work, take it
from front to back over the top of
the RH needle, continue round,
under RH needle, and hold to
front ready to purl next st.
Between a knit and a purl st:
Start with yarn at back. Bring
yarn forward between the
needles, take from front to back
over the top of the RH needle,
round RH needle and hold to
front to purl next st.
Between a purl and a knit st:
Start with yarn at back. Take
yarn back over top of RH needle
and then bring it between the
two needles so that the yarn
is not at the back of the work.
Knit next st.
Make one (ml)
Step 2: Insert the RH needle
into the next st p-wise, then slip
onto the RH needle. You have 2
slipped sts on the RH needle, 1
slipped k-wise, 1 slipped p-wise.
Step 3: Insert the tip of the LH
needle from left to right up into
the front of the two slipped sts
(the RH needle is behind the LH
needle). Knit these two sts tog.
Step 1: Insert LH needle
from back to front below
the strand between the two
needles, lifting the strand
onto the LH needle.
Central double decrease (cdd)
Step 3: Insert the tip of the LH
needle from left to right into the
front of the two slipped sts and
lift the two slipped sts over the
knitted st.
Step 2: Insert the tip of
the RH needle from front to
back into the front of the
new loop on the LH needle.
Knit this st.
Step 1: Insert RH needle from
front to back into next 2 sts
on LH needle. Slip these two
sts к-wise tog onto RH needle
without knitting them.
Step 2: Knit the next st on LH
needle. Note that the two slipped
sts are sitting unworked behind
the st you have just knitted.
Long-tail cast-on
Step 1: Make a slipknot, leaving
a long tail of yarn approximately
three times the length of the
cast-on edge. Place slipknot
on needle and draw up. Hold
needle in RH.
Step 2: Holding working yarn
tensioned with LH fingers, hook
left thumb under working yarn
from back to front. Insert the tip
of the needle into front of loop on
left thumb. Tail yarn is still held
tensioned in RH at this point.
Step 3: Use RH to bring tail yarn
up under needle, from right to
left. Take it between thumb and
needle, over the top of the needle,
and hold tensioned to right. You
should wrap the yarn clockwise
around the needle as if to knit.
Step 4: Lift loop on left thumb
over tip of needle, remove thumb
and draw up working yarn. Two
sts on RH needle (slipknot
counts as one st). Repeat steps
2-4 until number of sts required
has been cast on.

Reading a pattern
Charts
Charts are a visual representation
of the finished knitted piece. They
show it from the right side, so when
you read them, you read in the same
direction as you knit. Always start
at the bottom. Working flat, read RS
rows from right to left and WS rows
from left to right. Working in the
round, read all rows from right to left.
One square represents each stitch.
I. Schematic
The schematic is there to show you
the finished measurements of the
item, and how it all fits together.
Compare these measurements to the
measurements of a garment which you
know fits you well. In the schematic
and throughout the pattern, the
smallest size is shown first, with the
larger sizes in brackets.
2. About the yarn
This is information about the yarn we used for
this pattern. If you can’t get hold of this yarn,
take a look at these details and compare
them to other yarns that are available to you
so that you can make a substitution.
3. Tension
To check tension, knit a swatch
(at least 15cm square), wash and
block it as you would the finished
garment. Count the number of
stitches and rows in 10cm. If you
have too many stitches, go up a
needle size. If you have too few, go
down a size. Repeat this process
as many times as needed.
Finishing
For most items, the best way to block
is to soak the item in lukewarm water
and wool wash for about an hour to
relax the stitches. Then roll it in a
towel to remove most of the water.
Finally, shape the item and leave it
to dry. For garments, you can simply
lay them flat. For lace shawls, you will
need to stretch and pin them out. For
hats, try blocking over a balloon or
plate to stretch it into shape.

Knit Now Diary
PARTY TIME!
For Jo, this month has been all about the glamour
When I first decided I wanted to work in
magazines, I had a really rose-tinted idea of
what it would involve: fashion shows, launch
parties, interviews with celebrities, glamorous
photo shoots and champagne... the reality
is, let’s say, a little different. Most of the time
I’m sitting in the middle of a pile of yarn rather
than on the front row, and photoshoots are
more likely to see me steaming jumpers than
pouring fizz. To be honest, I wouldn’t have it
any other way!
However, in honour of our next issue - which
celebrates Knit Now's 10th BIRTHDAY! - the
last few weeks have seen me living a more
glamorous magazine life. For a start, I did my first
ever location photoshoot - and it was pretty magical.
As you may or may not know, a lot of work goes
into making that magic. And naturally, this time we
wanted to make it extra-special. After finding and
hiring an apartment and pulling together a crazy
amount of props and festive decorations, it took
me and our photographer hours to decorate it fit for
a Christmas party (in baking heat, naturally). I was
finding sequins in my hair for days afterwards!
“Preparing for
our birthday
issue is all the
excitement I
dreamed of”
Of course, the best part for me was the
knitwear. As a magazine editor, there are few
things as rewarding as seeing the projects
you’ve commissioned coming to life on
camera. With the right light, the right shoes,
and the right model, a jumper or accessory
that already looked lovely can transform into
a truly covetable garment. And that’s what we
are always aiming for!
As if that wasn’t enough, I had another
career highlight -1 interviewed the venerable
Zandra Rhodes, fashion icon and designer
extraordinaire. As a huge fan of her work, I
found it a real honour and a thrill to speak to
her about her new collaboration with West Yorkshire
Spinners, about her career highlights and...about
the joy of Christmas jumpers! Make sure you pick up
the next issue to read this exclusive interview.
So the champagne might have been a prop, the
setting a Manchester suburb rather than, say, the
island of Capri... but I can honestly say preparing for
our birthday issue is all the excitement I dreamed
of. After all, it’s gorgeous yarn and beautiful knitwear
that REALLY makes a party, isn’t it?

I loved the bright colours of
this festive yarn, and wanted
to create something suitably
cheerful! Stranded knitting is
my favourite technique, so I
chose to design tiny Christmas
trees and snowflakes'
Tory's tip
Make sure that you strand the
yarn colour not in use evenly
behind your work, taking care
not to pull it too tightly

With these cute Scandi-inspired baubles you
can knit endless colour combinations!
Each ornament is made of three
baubles in three different sizes,
one with a colourwork pattern,
one in co-ordinating stripes and
one plain. Knitted in the round,
they are stuffed before the final
decreases. The cords to join
and hang can be crocheted or
knitted, whichever you prefer.
The three baubles are then
joined together to hang joyfully
on a tree or around the home.
Use the table to make each of
the five versions, or mix and
match colours and charts for
your own interpretation.
