Rowan Knitting & Crochet No. 74 – knitting magazine with 41 designs for autumn and winter

Rowan Knitting & Crochet No. 74 is the Rowan magazine for autumn/winter 2023, with 41 knitting designs. Well-known designers including Martin Storey, Arne & Carlos, Quail Studio, Lisa Richardson, Kaffe Fassett, Erika Knight, Georgia Farrell, Vibe Ulrik and Chloe Thurlow have created patterns for this issue. You get many different styles in one magazine, so it is easier to find a project that suits you.

The issue centres on the yarns Felted Tweed and the new Fine Tweed Haze, which according to Rowan is a lighter version of Tweed Haze. Kidsilk Haze is also featured. If you already have one of these yarns at home or plan to buy it, you will find suitable patterns here.

What patterns can you expect?

According to Rowan, the patterns include top-down and circular knitting techniques. With top-down patterns you knit from the top downwards, so you can try on the body and sleeve length as you go. Because the issue focuses on just a few yarns, you can plan several projects from the same yarn stash.

Yarn and tension

The patterns are written for the Rowan yarns named. If you want to use a different yarn, knit a tension swatch first and compare it with the figures in your pattern. The next issue, No. 75, has its own focus, with summer themes and other yarns.
