As we enjoy the last days of summer and look ahead to autumn, we bring you seasonal knits using fascinating stitch patterns in Issue 179. From elegant cables, textures and lace, to intricate Fair Isle, stacked stitch patterns and Nordic motifs, there’s lots for you to explore. Among our designs is an elegant stacked stitch wrap, a colourful Fair Isle tank top, a versatile poncho and a cabled sweater for men. Anniken Allis brings us a lace T-shirt, and Sarah Hatton uses a soft, tweedy yarn for her V-neck slipover with cable details. We bring you stories from the farms of Caithness Yarns and The Doulton Flock, and find out The Fibre Co.’s exciting plans for autumn. Plus, our Masterclass offers a guide to sock darning, and our special supplement features a timeless sweater decorated with blackwork embroidery.
