Our full-colour January 2020 issue cover top is a pretty 4-ply party jacket that’s quick-to-knit and with a wide size range from bust 71-76 cm (28-30 in) to 112-117 cm (44-46 in). Our mix of well over 12 designs this month includes a supplement of cosy hats ‘n’ scarves from Nina Miklin and we always include details for converting patterns for knitting on standard gauge machines. Joan Lafferty’s advice on the best machine to buy is as relevant today as when she wrote it and Sally-Ann Carroll gets our wardrobe in line for the coming spring and summer. Bill King experiments with the potential of Argyll patterns and it’s time to look at patterning on the double bed in Part 5 of our series on colour changers. You won’t want to miss huge 20% savings from Susan Guagliumi and great reader offers on new craft books from Search Press.
