Truly, is anything cooler than responding to a compliment on your excellent jumper with ‘thanks, I made it’?
You may never have thought about learning to knit before – but before you stop reading, it’s not what you think. You can create beautiful, modern, one-of-a-kind pieces that fit you perfectly, giving you the confidence to show the world what you’re made of every single day.
We’ve partnered with Make That, a brand-new website that reinvents knitting for modern women. Featuring 50+ elegant styles and chunky knits you can make yourself, each pattern has one-tap video tutorials linked from every stitch and clever progress tracking. Knitting has never been easier.
As a treat for Stylist readers, we’re inviting you to test the Make That website, free of charge. Make That will be a monthly subscription service soon, but you’ll be told with plenty of time to decide if you want to become a paying member.
Here are some of our favourite patterns from the collection. Sign up for free today to start building your own made-to-measure, made-by-you wardrobe. We don’t think you’ll ever look back.
Colour pop hat by Lauren Aston Designs
The perfect casual knit to top your bonce. Made with chunky yarn, it’s a great one for first timers. Knit in two-tone or go for just one colour. Both options have pure squish appeal.
Bracken socks by Lynne Rowe
It’s time to rethink your sock aesthetic. Try mini cables (not hard, you can do it) and twisted stitches for a design that’s made for pairing with hefty black ankle boots.
Unwind Shawl by Christine Boggis
Ready for your next challenge? This is the one. Worked in simple stitches with a few fun extra techniques, play with contrast to create a striking geometric design.
