How knitting patterns can help you knit for the family

Nanna may not need a knitting pattern to make a lovely cardigan, but don’t let that put you off. Whether you’re a novice or just want help with a new type of garment, a knitting pattern can be extremely helpful.

But what types of things can you knit?

Scarves – an old favourite and a great place to start. Everyone in the family loves them, so you can keep the entire brood wrapped up warm come winter.

Hats – Chilly ears are no fun and neither are youngsters with a cold. Hats are again one for the whole family and they keep the heat in when you need it most.

Gloves and Mittens – These are fun items to knit, especially as you can have great fun experimenting with different colours. Plus, they make a lovely gift for new arrivals.

Bags – Many people want to know how to knit a bag, but think it’ll be beyond their skills. However, I always tell them not to be scared. They are relatively straightforward with a knitting pattern and are a great one to experiment with.

Jumpers – On a cold day, curled up on the sofa, there’s little more comforting than a big knitted jumper. Not only that, but jumpers tend to be very expensive to buy in shops.

Blankets – Whether you’re knitting for a baby, an elderly relative or even yourself, a blanket is a comforting and warm item for any cold evening.

Cardigans – Cardigans, once associated purely with older generations, have become extremely popular with younger groups, including adults and kids. Go into any modern clothing store and you’ll see what I mean.

Toys – Knitting toys may seem difficult, but knitting patterns make the process much simpler. They are also an extremely well-appreciated personal gift for younger children.

For a wide choice of fun knitting patterns, why not visit Candis Magazine and browse their selection.

Candis also provide information on Healthy Family Recipes, Parenting, Gardening and can help organise fantastic family package holidays for you and your clan.
