Spring is on the way but it's still pretty chilly. Wrap up warm with our chunky coat shown on the cover or try a gorgeous textured tunic. We've also got great knits to keep the kids warm with a pretty girl's hoodie, a smart but casual boy's jumper and a sweet hat and wristwarmers set which is sure to appeal to teens and grown women alike.

We've got a fab cover gift for you this month: a set of brilliant bamboo bag handles. They're easy to attach, practical and sturdy – and we've got four fab bags for you to knit.

If you've got a celebration coming up, we've got some great gifts – and some lovely treats for yourself, too. Our cute ankle socks are quick and simple, and easy bibs make a great gift for a new parent. If you're feeling the cold, wrap up warm with a funky neckwarmer or smart scarf. And there's lots more!

This month, Alan Dart has drawn his inspiration from In Stitches, our monthly comic strip drawn by Malcolm Bird and created a super cute Sox the cat for you to knit.

If you've got a cat at home, it's easy to change the colours to match your own kitty and he's a great gift for any animal lover.

  • New spring yarns!
  • Rachael Matthews welcomes Japanese textile artists.
  • We find out about the Handknit Heroes knitting comic.
And don't miss any of your usual favourites: we're testing the best British wool yarns, we've got great books and patterns for you to try and our experts have lots of great tips.
