Winter weather is a boon to knitters and we've got 25 stylish winter knits to help you keep your needles clicking and keep you and your loved ones warm and snug.
We've got great knits for you to use your shawl pins on, and they look really smart.
We've used them on our soft, multi-textured jacket (shown on the cover) and this simple but stunning lace wrap (below).
For more casual layers, try our longline waistcoat and top with pretty textured details
If you're ready to start your gift knitting, we've got some great ideas including a classic man's cardigan and a fab Christmas-themed kitchen set.
Our new section, Quick & Easy Knits, is back and is packed with 11 gift ideas this issue, including five scarves and neckwarmers.

We've also got two Alan Dart patterns for you this month, and we think you'll recognise both of them!
BBC Children in Need takes place on Friday 20 November this year, so you've got plenty of time to knit a Pudsey to help your fund-raising efforts. You could raffle him off, or hold an auction – or knit some to say "Thank you!" to your best supporters.
Alan has also designed another well-loved character for us. Rudolph is looking forward to Christmas as much as we are and he'd make a great addition to your decorations – or a fab gift, if you can bear to part with him!
Other great things to look out for in issue 60 include:
- Hannah Simpson knits up her favourite film characters.
- We catch up with Janet Markwell and the alpacas in her garden.
- Rachael Matthews explores the meaning of life – and craft.
