Knit Now Magazine #195

With summer finally here, it seems like the perfect moment to introduce our beautiful cover project, the Diamond Hem Tee by Sian Brown. This versatile knit is one of those pieces that works hard in your wardrobe. Wear it on its own for warmer days or layer it over a simple tee when the breeze makes an appearance. Worked in a gorgeous Rowan cotton, it is cool, comfortable and wonderfully wearable. Dress it up with a favourite skirt or keep things relaxed with your go-to denims and you have a piece that will carry you through the season in style.

There is plenty more inside to cast on too. If layers are still on your knitting radar, Blazenka Simic-Boro's tabard is a lovely choice, while Evelyn Siatra's cherry-red short-sleeve cardi is just the thing to tuck into your bag for those moments when an extra layer comes in handy. We have also embraced something sweet this issue with Monica Russel's charming strawberry motif cardi and Nicola Valiji's strawberry-themed blanket in our £10 Challenge.

When the needles take a pause there are plenty of fascinating reads to enjoy too. From Di Gilpin's cabinet of curiosities to Gemma Poole making a convincing case for having several projects on the go at once, there is lots to settle down with.

So make a cuppa, find a sunny spot and enjoy deciding what will be on your needles next!
