TOP 10 Knitwear Trends

1. Cozy Sweater

The designs to knit right now are loose and relaxed: the garment should be flowy and easy to wear. Especially sleeves can have some extra in both fitting and length. Bear in mind, that relaxed doesn’t necessarily mean baggy! Pick a carefully designed pattern that has a beautiful and relaxed fit.

2. Fluffy Cardigan

It's time for a sweater with added fluffiness and softness – just the kind that invites you to feel the lovely knit. Knitwear can also have 3D effects that are achieved with things such as chunky cable knits or bobbles. Novita’s yarns Hehku and Tuuli both contain fluffy mohair, and especially Tuuli is easy to combine with any other yarn to create fluffier knits.

3. Casual Knitted Dress

Fashion bloggers got excited about knitted dresses already a year ago, and now everyone is getting into them. The dress can be smooth stockinette or stylish cable knit, and the length of the dress depends on your taste. It’s easy to adjust the pattern to your liking – go for a fashionable mini or test your patience with ankle length!

4. Poncho

Ponchos and capes will be a hit in winter 2024, so now is a good time to start this project. Ponchos and capes have as many looks as there are knitters. Their look can be colourful and frilly or simple and elegant. WGSN forecasts that hooded poncho will be a big hit.

5. Colorwork Vest

Vests have been a long-lasting favourite for several seasons. As a garment, it is also practical as it can be used for many seasons. Now vests are knitted in colorwork, while V-neck and buttoned styles hold their places as favourites.

6. Knitted cap
