Knit Today – April 2014

Love is in the air at Knit Today HQ – we've fallen for pink! Ruth Maddock's gorgeous cover garment ticks all the high street trends. Lace? Check! Coral shade? Check! Cute Peter Pan collar? Check! Best of all, it's in a great-value yarn, which means you can knit it for £20 or less! If pink's not your thing it comes in more than 35 other shades so there's sure to be one to suit you. If you fancy something even lighter, we've also got a gorgeous wrap by Helen Ardley in beautiful spring green, which makes a great alternative to a cardigan.
Lace knitting is perfect for spring but if you've not tried it before, never fear. Our simple guide to lace on page 23 has everything you need to know to get started.
We've got knits for all the family too, including classic cable sweaters in women's and men's sizes, and an essential cardigan for boys and girls.
Easter is a fun time of year to knit for kids so you'll find a fab bonus pattern book free with this issue, with lots of sweet projects, including a bag for collecting Easter eggs, cute makes for little girls, and my favourite – three spring birds from Angela Turner. We've also included 6 quick knits on handy cards you can just pop in your project bag. Perfect for when you're stuck at the bus stop!
