Simply Knitting Issue 65 – on sale today!

The April issue of Simply Knitting is hits shop shelves across the UK today! We've got 27 great knits for spring tucked between the covers and we're already thinking about decorating your home for Easter as well as knits to make friends and family smile.

We've got some lovely knits for you – and your family. Our cover project is a really versatile woman's gilet – subscribers get more ideas of how to wear this wardrobe staple on page 22 – and we've also got a pretty blue and white jumper to help you stretch your Fair Isle skills.

Men will love our cosy man's cardigan in soft browns and dinosaur lovers of all ages will be clamouring for our brilliant dinosaur jumper. It'll fit chest sizes 25-30in (68-78cm) which is roughly kids sizes 4-8 years but if your favourite paleontologist is a bit bigger then the design would look on a great cushion or throw too.

If you're looking for a quicker knit, try our fab vintage style clutch or one of the 12 patterns in our Quick & Easy Knits section.

This month, we're getting ready for Easter so we've got some fab Easter eggs and cute egg cosies to decorate your table with.

We've also got some great gift ideas, whether you're treating a friend to a luxurious lace scarf or a new arrival to a pair sweet baby bootees – or yourself to a pair of bright knee high socks.

Alan Dart has also caught the bug and has made a whole catwalk of Easter bonnets with cute chicks to model them.

A parade of seven Easter chicks each wearing a bonnet. Bonnets include: a daffodil, a bluebell, a basket of Easter eggs, a fried egg. Hand knitted and designed by Alan Dart

They're so fun and unusual that kids and adults alike are sure to love them and they're quick to knit so they make a great alternative to chocolate.

Other great things to look out for in issue 65 include: 
  • New 'Fair Isle' effect yarns.
  • Rachael Matthews is setting fire to a spinning wheel.
  • All about the largest knitted rock in the Tate.
And don't miss any of your usual favourites: we're testing the best chunky yarns, you've sent us loads of great letters and our experts solve your knitting problems.
