We love colourwork, and this month we’ve taken inspiration from traditional Scottish textiles for our fabulous Tartan Collection. Also in issue 171, we have a feminine wrap cardigan, a bright shawl decorated with delicate floral textures, an elegant cabled sweater, a quick-knit mock cable hat, and a sweet colourwork headband inspired by Finland. Plus, we explore a stretchy cast-on method in our Masterclass, review the best new yarns for your seasonal knits, and meet the inspirational women behind Knitting Needle Lane and Mad Brown Knitwear.
