The Knitter - Issue 61 / 2013

Nur noch solange Vorrat reicht!!!

We've got a fabulous new collection of patterns that we think you'll love to knit! Sarah Hatton's vintage-inspired cotton mix top, featured on this month's cover, is beautifully elegant and feminine.

Another fantastic pattern is a pretty little tie-fronted cardigan from Sublime. It uses super-soft fabric and a simple textured pattern to create an heirloom piece for baby girls.

If you want to try out new techniques, such as nupps and three-stitch stars, we've got the perfect pattern to get you started. Inspired by their passion for Estonian lace, The Dutch Knitters have created a delicate shawl for us, blending traditional Haapsulu lace patterns with clever windmill motifs.
