Vogue Knitting Holiday 2018: A Review

Vogue Knitting have revealed their 2018 holiday numbers . Let's see.





#1 Striped Crescent Sweater. This is a creative and exciting new look for a striped sweater.





#2 Brioche striped sweater. It has good bread and is tolerant of forms.





#3 A Two-Color Croissant Scarf. Beautiful! I like the two tone effects, dots and shapes... OK, really.





#04 Hood with loose stitches. I love tweed, it has various effects.





#5 Two-tone raglan sweater. Not bad. I think there are better colors for this.





No.6 Balaklava. I'm afraid I'll never get on a boat with a hood. There are unpleasant associations: the Crimean War, shops, condoms (condoms don't rank badly in the first two points, but they are not well known and appreciated for their aesthetics).






No. 7 Hooded model hood. A hood that can double as a hood is a much more attractive option than a hood. This model was first published in 1986 and looked premature as it could be worn with or without a hood and knitted hoods were not known at that time.





#8 striped hood. Meanwhile Pom-Pom gives him the Joker look.





#9 Inner raglan sweater. I'll improve a bit to match.





#10 Loose sweater with lace trim. I know this is supposed to be a rocking style, but I'm going to change it to suit my torso and butt. The oscillating silhouette is difficult to distinguish.





#11 Dolman long sweater. That will not satisfy most women. It also doesn't work in this professional model.





#12 Sweaters with drop shoulders. I usually recommend using loose shoulders, but in this case when loose shoulders are an original and almost unique design feature, I recommend using a different motif.





#13 Triangle Scarf. A simple body with enough technical details to look great.





#14 Striped Raglan Sweater. I really like the look of the hammer strip that is the subject of this post. And in this case, I also want to paint.





#15 Pearl Yarn Sweater. It's something different, perhaps not surprising as it comes from Nicky Epstein, who is known for his incredible models. I love it. It looks more like a poncho than a sweater, though with better-than-usual lines for a poncho, and the coloring, reverse lines and "pearl thread" stitching work together to create an eye-catching look. However I would suggest doing it with a hood instead of a flat collar.





Set of #16 hat and hood. Attractive and comfortable set. The stitching is great and adds lots of tight edges in a contrasting color.





#17 A flirtatious hat. This is a smart and eye-catching hoodie that I can't help but want to continue stylistically to until it becomes a sweater.





#18 Winding Bow. I prefer complex varnishes for this.





#19 Coat with a hood. This hood looks great with a coat... and without it it's pretty embarrassing.





#20 Brioche spines with stripes. I remember when this design was first published in Vogue Knitting Winter 1992/1993 and I had a problem with my knitting library. I used to love it and now I like it.
