Knit.Wear Fall/Winter 2018: A Review

Knit.Wear has released their Fall/Winter 2018 issue. Let's have a look at it, shall we?

Aslant Pullover. I like this except for the vents in the front. Their stretched-open look makes the sweater look too small on its wearer.

Aspen Pullover. I'm not crazy about the asymmetrical aspects of this design. They look more mistaken than intentional. And I don't like the garter edging on the neck and hemline -- I'd go with ribbing to match the cuffs.

Bikey Beanie. Totally cute!

Calcite Cowl. Not bad, but I don't know how practical a drawstring is on a cowl. How often is one going to want to tighten it? And would it be worth it to tighten it only to have to loosen it to get it off again?

Calderwood Pullover. Nice use of Art Deco-like detailing.

Compass Points Pullover. A classic cabled turtleneck.

Cosseted Pullover. If you want to knit a classic plain women's turtleneck with a beautiful yarn in your favourite colour, you could hardly do better than this pattern.

Frosted Foliage Pullover. A nice contemporary take on the fair isle yoke style.

Geode Tunic. This one is quite striking.

Highland Raglan. I like the face-emphasizing detail on the yoke.

Indigo Smoke Pullover. Simple but striking and attractive.

Maya Cardigan. Love the texture on this one, but I would neaten up the fit and raise the dropped shoulders.

Murray Pullover. I love the subtle contrast of the two colours and the stitchwork used here. I'd raise the dropped shoulders.

Myriad Pullover. That is one cool yoke design.

Pebble Pullover. A nice wearable piece.

Pepper & Snow Pullover. Another smart circular yoke pullover.

Point Gray Poncho. This is more elegant than I ever thought a poncho could be made to look.

Purple Beet Raglan. Nice shoulder detailing, but that long, loose shape is going to look so dowdy and unflattering on most women.

Ripple Pullover. A pretty, unassuming piece.

Shifting Squares Pullover. Fantastic detailing on this one.

Sloan Dress. A classic knit turtleneck dress with just the right amount of interesting detail.

Terrapin Tunic. Good stitchwork at the hem, but I'd neaten up the shape and nix the slight mullet hem.

Twinings Hat. Classic cabled cap.
