Magazines with Knitting Patterns

In this collection, you'll find magazines featuring knitting patterns for all kinds of projects. These include Ladieswear, Menswear, Baby clothes, Kidswear, Socks, Accessories, Scarves, Shawls, and Home Decor projects. Some issues are entirely dedicated to knitting, while others also include Crochet Patterns or other craft techniques.

For each product, carefully check which patterns are included and in which language the issue is available. That way, you'll know exactly whether the magazine aligns with what you want to create.

Magazines for Beginners

Would you like to learn to knit, or have you only recently started? If so, knitting magazines with clear instructions and straightforward projects are a great choice. For example, look for an issue featuring simple scarves, hats, baby projects, or sweaters with a relaxed fit.

For beginner projects, pay attention to the level of difficulty, the stitches used, and the finishing touches. Projects that use stockinette stitch, garter stitch, and clear patterns of repetition are often a great place to start.

Magazines for Advanced Readers

Do you already have some knitting experience? If so, you can choose magazines that feature more advanced techniques and greater challenges. Think of patterns that include cables, ajour, colorwork, intarsia, circular knitting, knitting socks, raglan, fit, or refined finishing touches.

Advanced knitting magazines are ideal if you want to learn new techniques or make a garment that fits your style and wardrobe perfectly.

Knitting magazines for sweaters, cardigans, and clothing

Many knitting magazines feature patterns for sweaters, vests, cardigans, tops, slipovers, and other garments. These publications are popular because you can find multiple designs in a single issue, often with different sizes and clear yarn recommendations.

When it comes to clothing, a gauge swatch is important. It allows you to check the stitch ratio and prevents your project from turning out too big or too small. Also pay close attention to the size, fit, and recommended yarn.

Magazines featuring socks and accessories

In addition to clothing, you'll also find knitting magazines with patterns for socks, scarves, shawls, hats, mittens, and other accessories. These are great projects if you want to make something smaller or practice a new technique.

Knitting socks is popular among knitters who like to work with precision. Accessories such as scarves and shawls, on the other hand, offer plenty of opportunities for openwork, cables, color changes, and beautiful edge finishes.

Magazines for babies and children

The collection also includes magazines with Knitting Patterns for babies and children. Think of baby cardigans, sweaters, pants, hats, blankets, kidswear, and soft accessories. These projects are often smaller than adult clothing, so you’ll see results faster.

Are you making something for a baby or child? If so, choose a soft yarn that’s comfortable to wear and easy to wash. Always check the care instructions and sizing in the pattern.

Magazines from well-known brands and designers

At Yarnplaza, you'll find knitting magazines and books from well-known brands, publishers, and designers. These include publications from Katia, Lana Grossa, Lang Yarns, Scheepjes, Durable, Phildar, Forte Creatief, and other creative names.

Each issue has its own style. One collection is modern and colorful, while another is classic, understated, seasonal, or focused on a specific yarn line. That way, you’ll always find a knitting magazine that suits your taste and your next project.

How to Choose the Right Knitting Magazine

Choose by project: Would you like to knit sweaters, cardigans, socks, baby clothes, kidswear, scarves, shawls, or accessories?

Choose a project based on your skill level: beginners are best off choosing projects with clear instructions and simple patterns. Advanced knitters can opt for cables, ajour, colorwork, circular knitting, or fitted styles.

Choose by season: Cotton, linen, and lightweight blends are popular for spring and summer. For fall and winter, you're more likely to choose wool, Alpaca, mohair, Acrylic, or warm blended yarns.

Select by language: Check for each product whether the magazine is available in Dutch, English, German, French, or another language.

Choose by yarn: Some knitting magazines are associated with a specific yarn line. This is helpful if you already know which yarn you want to use.

What do you need for a knitting magazine?

What you need varies depending on the pattern. You’ll usually need yarn, knitting needles, a darning needle, scissors, and sometimes additional materials such as Stitch Markers, a cable needle, buttons, circular knitting needles, or blocking supplies.

Always read the materials list in the magazine carefully before you start. That way, you'll know which yarns, colors, sizes, and accessories you need for your chosen project.
