Knitting Magazine – Issue 269

Preppy purls: with its classic layering pieces, bold stripe and Argyle patterns and classy styling, the preppy look is perfect for in-between seasons. So what our wardrobes need are pieces that will see us through all that changeable weather – like Jacinta Bowie’s cosy, oversized Letterman Cardigan, Bronagh Miskelly’s Breton-striped Scarf Sweater and Melissa Leapman’s adorable Plaid Vest, pictured on our cover. Follow our Gossip Girl-themed look to put together some college-ready ‘fits with these knits, or simply blend them into your current clothing collection – either way will work just fine.

In this issue we’re also taking a look at the thriving knitting design scene in Germany, preparing for the second edition of Bristol yarn festival The Big Flock and musing on time and repetition with Erika Knight and Arabella Harris of Knight Kraft in our back-page column, Notes from the Studio.
