Interweave has released the Interweave Knits Winter 2016 issue, and it features a very solid, wearable collection of patterns. Let's have a look at it, shall we?
Inverness Sweater. With such a classic cabled pullover, what's not to like?
Coldfield Pullover. Some nice detailing on this one. I like the mid-arm band concept.
Glasglow Sweater. The reverse stockinette on the sleeves and what looks like Shaker stitch in the body are nice touches.
Worthington Gansey. The deep waist band and the dropped shoulders give this sweater an awkward, disproportionate look, but they are easily remedied.
MacGowan Pullover. Really lovely stitchwork on this one. I love that lacy centre panel.
Shiloh Sweater. Nice stitchwork and the modified collar works really well with it.
Slean Mittens. Nice detailing on these.
Rivers Stole. Love the texture on this one. It's rather big, which won't be to everyone's liking, but you could always scale it down to whatever size you liked.
Tulle Mittens. Very pretty arrangement of cables on these mittens.
Oxford Stockings. Classic cabled socks.
Keeley Sweater. The pattern is good overall, but I think I'd want to fiddle a little with the proportions by making the body somewhat longer and decreasing the height of the cuffs and waistband slightly.
Walthall Sweater. Very much like this simple but effective sweater. The shaping is really good and the cables direct the viewer's gaze to the wearer's face.
Hoxey Cowl. This is quite pretty, and quite well styled. It's a piece that will look best with casual clothing such as this denim jacket.
Warwick Hat. A carefully worked out and finished piece. I'd nix the pom pom, but that's me.
Whitfield Cardigan. Not a fan of this one. The fair isle patterning has a rather helter skelter effect, and the dropped shoulders aren't helping. It also wouldn't be possible to fix them without changing the construction of this piece entirely, as it is knitted in one piece and steeked.
Hawkherst Sweater. Solid classic Cowichan-style piece.
Vernon Hat & Scarf. Attractive set. I like the idea of using a contrast colour for the fringe on the scarf and the ribbed band and pom pom on the cap.
