winter trends you can knit | 20 knitting pattern ideas inspired by commercial fashion

[@jla110661]

I have to comment on you as a Podcaster. I've been so impressed with how easy you make it seem after watching many other Podcaster who just don't have what you have naturally. Things just flow so nicely. You're prepared, professional but not over the top, and just so pleasant to watch and listen too. Great job. This video is another win in my book. Very interesting to listen to. Thank you!

[@neknits]

Aw thank you for the kind words!

[@nadja9331]

I totally agree ❤❤❤

[@jennymooneyham4296]

I just wanted to tell you thank you for being inclusive! I am a plus size girlie, and it is so nice to be able to knit any of these beautiful sweaters! Great job!

[@TSUNAMI-MAMI]

I love this idea. Honestly hoping MORE people get back into making their own clothes again to cut down on consumerism and fast fashion practices

[@ceb2737]

Great episode as always. I like that the patterns you featured aren’t the typical knits that everyone shows. Looks like there is something for everyone.

[@juyoungkimm]

Thank you for introducing the Hopelessly Devoted cardigan! I've been loving so many of Lily Kate's designs!

[@TheCatlady63]

Thanks for taking the time to produce this.

[@lieslnew8247]

I really appreciate you taking the time to research trends and match them to knitting patterns. The cable knits are right up my alley. 😊

[@slastenushkaslast3402]

Amy thank you so much for this amazing research. All the patterns you showed are just great and I'm so happy to see such a variety of designers however big or small. I've never heard of most of them, which is great. Love the exposure to new designers and new knits. Savings this video for future reference :)

[@AimeeSherMakes]

Thanks for the mention! I'm so glad to see stripes coming back in again.

[@wilmaoud]

Thank you very much for this video. I love your video’s. I wish you a very happy 2024.

[@deekay1641]

Wow, Amy, you did a great job. This was a wonderfully inspiring episode. Thank you

[@lindarogers3608]

Great roundup. You’re very good at these!

[@kellynowak4960]

Hello, your knitting podcast is one of my new favorites. Terrific job!

[@rebecca-72]

Terrific research and presentation, Amy! I love how calm and clear you always come across. I will so not have time to knit this, but I was looking for off the shoulder sweaters myself. I do like the cold shoulder sweater! Great suggestions!

[@Baghwanita]

Thank you for looking up all those fantastick and inspiring knitting patterns. I think I will at least knit one dantelle douch with some of my yarn stash

[@mariom3514]

Omg another great video! I am OBSESSED with your Shift cowl! Those colors! 😍 Amazing job as always!

[@tinalywood4507]

Great video, and so much work. You saved many of us hours of work, thank you, Merry Christmas

[@ihesharema]

Another great pattern video!!! Thanks again Amy I’m loving the cables so classic and iconic.

[@clc1302]

Great video Amy! I love this concept. I always like any pattern review videos!

[@carmenbaby]

This is such a good video and great recommendations!

[@cathiapizetta4957]

I agree. You’re getting better and better!❤

[@sanfilogoff]

I've made myself the Bryce Pillar cardigan and am currently racing to finish a larger version for my husband's Christmas present! I absolutely love it

[@lauriepeterson9401]

Great podcast, hitting the important details of the sweaters nicely. Thank you for doing the research, I've saved several! ❤

[@brooklynnbarnett1537]

I am loving this video! Favorite thing about knitting!!

[@gretchen.knitting]

Great! So many wonderful inspirations! Thank youbfor this video!

[@WhimsicalCrochetShop]

This was an excellent video!!! I think I will make a winter trends video too. But mine will be crochet!!! 🥰

[@sharonmerton9812]

Thanks Amy. Great run down of trends and correlation with our knitting world. Love any man orientated knits too if of interest to you too. 😃

[@kjhawk4984]

thank you Amy. Appreciate so much of your videos: your content, choices both pattern and wool, even the tone and pace of your speech. It's all important. I have a question though and this may be an idea for a future video. my question: what wool would you suggest for, in particular a cabled sweater. Yes each pattern has a suggested wool , but often the suggested yarn is not readily available and a sub must be ordered on-line. I knit a heavily cabled cardigan once but it was so heavy I wouldn't wear it and I've avoided cables since! thanks for your suggestion, if you have one.

[@neknits]

Cables do use a lot of yarn so understood that the sweaters can get quite heavy! In general for cabled patterns, I look for yarns that have at least 3-4 plies for good stitch definition. I think it would be interesting to look up the densities of different fibers to see what would get you the most yardage with the least weight, in addition to still having multiple plies for those cables. Knit Picks has some good options, like Wool of the Andes or High Desert for cabling!

[@annikak.837]

To the cable cardigans I would add Bernie cardigan by Clarissa Schellong! Thanks for a very nice episode! 😊

[@hannahbrents8557]

Hi Amy! I think the Audrey jacket by @cocoamourknitwear and the boucle jacket by @knitsfromoslo actually fit better into the Chanel category. Love the video! Would love to see a Sezane dupe knitwear video!

[@neknits]

Agreed, those are also good matches!

[@evelina_crafts]

for the stripped jumpers... I fell in love with Abbygenser by Sandnes Garn 😍😍😍

[@neknits]

Same!! I would've loved to include it on this list but unfortunately it is not size inclusive up to a 60" bust. But it matches the trend exactly!

[@alixiat560]

Hi Amy! Quite obsessed with your podcast and curently trying to watch every episode from the start. Just wanted to jump in and mention the « bouclé jacket » from the designer knits from Oslo that was just released, it looks just like a Chanel type jacket (Made in stockinette but worn inside out, with regular yarn held with bouclé mohair)

[@neknits]

I've been hearing about that pattern! It certainly is a great match for the trend. I think it came out right after I finished filming this video!

[@anitawessels3932]

Thanks for you recommendation ❤

[@maureendesmarais6955]

Thanks for the trend review. I like to watch your podcast for ideas for my daughter. I think she would like the Prima pullover or the Emily jacket. I'm thinking to knit the Prima in a DK with cashmere though as I think narrower ribs with a "softer" yarn would be better. The pattern calls for superwash yarn which I think would be a disaster when it grows??

[@academycute101]

I think the Big Check by Hinterm Stein (a cardigan) could fit into the Chanel Jacket category. Although there isn’t any buttons on the outside band they could be added.

[@jennyrakoto]

I really love these kind of videos as I'm making a sweater for one of my sisters that looks like a store bought sweater ! Thank you, Amy ! Very inspiring !

[@susankrisch337]

really enjoyed watching!

[@letsgoko8517]

similar to the Chanel inspired jackets there's an absolutely gorgeous jacket by THINNNG called Natalie Tweed, it's to die for! It's on my list to knit in low contrast colors!

[@juliab.871]

I Love this Kind of Videos i Hope you do one for spring summer! The Designer Hinterm Stein hast a Lot of chanel-like cardigans in ravelry, and one ist from THINNNG

[@laurahorgan7657]

Thank you!!

[@litanorman1455]

I love your scarf/cowl! Did you knit? What yarn is that?

[@neknits]

Thank you, it is The Shift by Andrea Mowry! I linked my project page in this video description which lists the yarns I used

[@Linda-r7n8n]

I like the channel Tyler sweater jackets.

[@teaspoons1432]

Yeah, the striped sweater trend did come from a designer brand (Toteme). You can really see how the Toteme sweater influenced the Gap sweater with the long, ribbed cuffs and hems, side-vents, wide sleeves, drop shoulders and turtleneck. The contrast stripe also comes from Toteme. Even though the Toteme sweater doesn't have the trend you talk about (where the stripe pattern starts late and ends early), I think it's so interesting how one sweater kicked off a striped knitwear movement and is still influential in both commercial fashion and knitting 4 years later

[@neknits]

That's so interesting! Thank you for the background information!

[@Karachiottawa]

I love the one in white can sale the patterns

[@nadja9331]

❤🌈

[@kathyellis2506]

I love your podcasts. You provide so much info. Too many videos talk about their day. Sorry…but I’m just not that interested. I want to learn about knitting patterns and yarns. I also love today’s content because I’m too lazy to research what is in style but it would be nice if my knits are “on trend”. Thanks so much for all your concise and informative videos.🥰
