Vogue Knitting Holiday 2017 – New!

The [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] issue is full of Nordic inspiration. From new takes on classic Scandinavian knits to an article (pattern included) on the Danish Sontag shawl, a traditional triangular shawl that sports ties so it can be worn wrapped around your body and still held securely in place. This issue also features a collection of obi inspired knitted belts, monochrome sweaters and even a handful of ruffled tops. Read on to check out some of my favorites:

Who doesn’t love a good ski sweater? This handsome pullover has a modern slim fit and a comfortable crew neck. Four shades of heavy worsted or Aran weight yarn work together to show off the pattern details across the top, with a subtle patterned band along the hemline and cuffs to bring it all together. This will be beautiful and soft knit up in Jo Sharp Silkroad Aran Tweed Yarn, or make a sturdy outdoor version out of Peace Fleece Yarn.

[Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] is a clever way to make the yarn do some of the colorwork for you in this obi inspired belt. An attached I-cord adorns the outer edges, and the Fair Isle leaf motif is carried through right to the tips of the leaf shaped ties. This pattern is for a size 25-26.5″ waist, and it requires three different colors of [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] , one skein of each color.

In this world of cheerful hand-dyed yarn and the buttery richness of Malabrigo, sometimes solid colored yarn gets overlooked. This textured pullover is worked in a DK weight superwash yarn such as [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] or Jo Sharp New Era Merino DK Superwash Yarn. Choose a color that speaks to you and let the stitches do the rest of the talking!
