Welcome...
…to the Print & Pattern issue of Knit Now!
As it’s my first issue as Editor of Knit Now, I’d
better introduce myself! I’m Kayleigh, and I’ve
been working on the magazine for seven years

6 now as a Sub-Editor, making sure all the pages

and patterns are perfect! I’m also a passionate
knitter so I’m really excited to bring you the
best patterns and fill this magazine with things
you’ll love.

As the theme suggests, this issue we’re

celebrating prints and patterns. Our cover
garment, the Sandstone Top, uses texture
beautifully in a yarn with great stitch definition
(page 11). Chloe Elizabeth Birch’s Geo Deco
blanket on page 30 uses colour to striking effect and our very own Michelle
Hazell has created the Capri Cowl (page 32), which uses an easy-to-learn pattern
so you can knit up a quick cowl.

We’ve also got two extra books for you this issue – firstly, you can knit a whole
family of Clangers and then there’s also a lovely collection of patterns from
Stylecraft to knit for your little ones!

There’s plenty to keep you busy this month, I hope you enjoy it!

82 Happy knitting!

Figure of Eight cast-on
Holding two needles parallel
with the points facing to
the right, make a loose
slipknot and place it on
the lower needle.
Hold a length of smooth
waste yarn alongside the
lower needle.
Wrap the working yarn
around the needles
by bringing it behind
both needles.
*Bring the working yarn over
the top needle and then
between the two needles.
Take the working yarn
around the bottom needle
(and waste yarn) from below
and then between the
two needles.
Rep from * until there are
18 sts on each needle (the
slipknot does not count as
a st).
Slide the lower needle out
leaving those 18 sts and
the slipknot on the waste
yarn, taking care not to
over-tighten the first st.

“Colourwork, lace and stripes

are cheerfully mixed on this
shawl, which was inspired by
a trip to Lefkada, an Ionian

most beautiful beaches in
the Mediterranean Sea and a
mesmerizing landscape. It is a

decorated with a beautiful
lace edging at the bottom and
a picot finishing at the edges”

Katrina’s tip
This is a great pattern for playing with
colour! Work the straps and top flap in one
colour then go wild - you can easily change
up the number of colours you use and the
size of each colour block. Just make sure to
alternate colours for a few rows at every
colour change

At Knit Now, we’re passionate about

supporting the incredible diversity of local
yarn shops up and down the country, all 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 a
‘use it or lose it’ deal – if we stop calling in to our local knitting shops to
pick up a 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

 Inside the

ZAKAMI
We sat down with Melinda from
Zakami to find out more about what
it takes to create beautiful yarn

Tell us about yourself and your

beautiful yarn
We are Melinda and Gergely, two
wool addicts who were driven by their
wanderlust and the love of nature from
Europe through New Zealand, up to
Edinburgh. We operate our business from
our home studio with our toddler on board.
We are hand-dyeing various bases from
local breeds to Cashmere blends but
mainly focusing on non-superwash and
fluffy bases.

How did you start out dyeing yarn?

Our yarn dyeing journey was also a chain
of multiple ‘coincidences’, which turned
out rather adventurous and fortunate. At
the time we were in New Zealand living in
our campervan, visiting farms and working
seasonal jobs. We had already gained
most of the knowledge we needed to
open our own farm and in New Zealand,
we were looking for people with valuable
knowledge about wool. The morning that
happened to be a game changer didn’t
start well; we had to cancel our plans for
the day. To cheer ourselves up, we drove
to the town next to us and visited the
local yarn shop and the lady there was
teaching a little girl how to hand-spin yarn.
We stayed with her for a while and she
passed on most of her knowledge to us.
The rest is history.

Where does the inspiration for your

yarn come from?
Usually, we come up with a theme for

advice you have ever received?
I think the best advice I’ve been given is
be true to your design-self. By that I mean
focus on what interests and excites you
in knit design.

Do you have anything exciting

coming up that you can share with
our readers?
I have a new cable-themed collection
being launched on my website later in the
year and an exciting new Rowan Magazine Martin’s new collection features
72 and brochure to look forward to in stunning baby knits
the summer.

Welcome
to your Stylecraft baby book!
We’ve worked with our friends at
Stylecraft to create this must-have
collection of patterns for knitters of all
levels. Whether you want to knit a quick
and easy gift or to spend a bit more
time on a gift for your little ones, you’ll
find something you’ll love to knit.

The patterns are all written by

Stylecraft’s expert team of designers
and pattern writers, and knitted in its
range of great-value yarns. I love the

14 set that starts on page 10 – you can

create a tunic, hat and blanket that
all co-ordinate!

I hope you enjoy knitting these patterns, and don’t forget to share your
makes with us online – tag knitnow and stylecraftyarns on Instagram;
we can’t wait to see your versions.

Happy knitting,

 How to knit for
BABIES
We all want the garments, accessories or
toys we knit for little ones to be perfect, so
here are our top tips for knitting for babies

items to knit
for babies

7. Bibs and burp cloths
 TOP TIPS

1. Choose your yarn carefully

It’s really important to use the right yarn for baby knits – their
skin is more sensitive than adults’, so make sure to use
cotton or acrylic yarn, which is soft and breathable, rather than
other yarn that might be too scratchy for their skin, despite
how high-quality it might be! It’s also a good idea to choose
a yarn that’s hardwearing and machine washable – clothes
for babies need to be washed frequently and you want your
creations to stand the test of time.

2. Beware of embellishments!
Although buttons and pompoms might finish off a baby make
perfectly, they can be dangerous for tiny fingers and mouths.
If a garment needs to have buttons on it, make sure they are
sewn on as securely as possible. If you’re making a toy for
a baby, opt for eyes that are sewn on or made with French
knots, as opposed to safety eyes, which could become a
choking hazard.

3. Have fun with colour

There’s no need to stick to ‘traditional’ stereotypical colours
for different genders – there are so many different yarn
shades available, so be creative or ask the parents what
colours they like if you’re knitting an item as a gift.

4. Make gifts functional

If you’re knitting something to gift a friend or family member to
celebrate their new baby, ask them what they want! Chances
are they’ve been inundated with clothes already and could
really do with more blankets – whatever you give them will
no doubt be appreciated but it’s worth asking if they need
anything in particular.

5. Think about sizing

Babies grow fast and clothes become too small for them
very quickly! Consider making a garment in a larger size in
anticipation of the baby growing into it. As cute as garments
for newborn babies are, pieces that can be saved in reserve
for the baby growing bigger will always be welcome.

6. Consider the season

If you know when the baby you’re knitting for is due to be born,
it might be helpful to think about knitting seasonally. A heavy
jumper will be better for a baby born during winter, whereas
a vest or sundress would be more suited to a summer baby.
However, if you’re following tip 5 above, you could stock up
with pieces for all seasons!

Welcome
We’re excited to take
a little trip into space
this month to meet the
Clangers! This family
favourite, produced by
the much-loved team
of Oliver Postgate and
Peter Firmin, has made
a welcome return to
our screens in recent
years, so we’re excited to bring you
some fun patterns to celebrate
some of our favourite characters.

Did you know that the original

Clangers were knitted by Peter’s
Tiny wife Joan, and that Granny Clanger
herself is a big fan of knitting?
We’re sure you’ll love these
page 8 patterns, and we can’t wait to see
your versions.

Happy knitting,
