What you need to know

Must-knit festive red cardi

How’s this for a super festive shade? Designer Jo Allport has come up with a cosy knit in a brilliant postbox red hue. It’s got cables too so is a real timeless wardrobe staple. Cables are quite straightforward to work, you just switch the order of certain groups of stitches. See our Knitwise panel for more advice on how to master this classic technique.
