On sale 22 January 2026

Packed with colour, comfort and creativity, the latest issue is a celebration of knitting at its most joyful. From eye-catching colourwork and snug jumpers to playful toys and feel-good makes, it’s the perfect companion as knitters continue dreaming up projects for 2026 whether for gifts, celebrations or a little self-indulgence.

This issue truly has something for every mood. There’s a slouchy colourwork jumper made for cosy days, a beautifully delicate lace-sleeved design ideal for layering, and classic projects like a colourwork border jumper and a men’s yoked cardigan for knitters who love getting lost in the stitches. For something lighter-hearted, cast on a Tatty Teddy jumper, an adorable Rusty Fox toy, or a cheerful heart scarf.

Short on time? Smaller projects such as a stylish two-colour cowl, a lace hat topped with a pompom, or a Fair Isle cushion are perfect for peaceful winter evenings. Alongside the patterns, readers can enjoy puzzles, expert Q&As, a charity feature, and a chat with The Wool Shop.

Our gifts this issue are a colourwork pattern book and 10 numbered enamel stitch markers (print copies only).

Simply Knitting is available in English only.
