Innholdsfortegnelse for Oct-18 i Knitting & Crochet from Woman’s Weekly

Autumn is on the horizon, which is my favourite time of year. In this issue we are gently easing you into the next season with some ultra lush cable knits in our opening feature. My absolute favourite is the tunic with pockets. I find that too few women’s garments have pockets so when they do, I am usually sold! Not to mention that the yarn this is knitted in is dreamily soft and light. We’ve got some delightful projects for kids of all ages, from the tiniest of babies in our seasonal collection to fun bobble sweaters that size up to 10 years old. And there’s everything in between! So if you’re dreading the end of summer, then it’s time to cheer yourself up with the great projects in this…
