Outlander is a series on Netflix that my in-laws keep talking about. I haven’t watched it yet, but I’ve heard great things about it. One thing I was not expecting though is that an official book of knitting projects is coming out. Outlander Knitting is an officially licensed book from Penguin Random House and Clarkson Potter written by Kate Atherly. Inside the book, readers will learn how to make blankets, socks, cowls, and more all inspired by Outlander.
With twenty projects for apparel, accessories, and home décor that relate to specific episodes, now knitters of all skill levels can recreate their favorite Outlander knits. Knit the capelet cowl that Mrs. Fitz gives to Claire at Castle Leoch, warm your feet with Clan Mackenzie Boot Socks, swaddle your bairn with the Mo Chridhe Baby Blanket, and dress your Jamie in a warm waistcoat. From beginner-friendly chunky knits to more advanced Celtic cables, each project includes a clearly written pattern, gorgeous photography, and scenes from the set.
Jamie Stevens from Sony Pictures Entertainment released the following statement:
We are very excited to partner with Clarkson Potter | Penguin Random House on Outlander Knitting. The book happens to be a passion project of mine because it not only rounds up and beautifully displays the unique pieces of knitwear seen on the show, but it also encourages fans to tap into their creativity to make their favorite Outlander-inspired knits that they can proudly say they created on their own. With projects for beginners to advanced knitters, Outlander Knitting is sure to keep fans entertained when they are watching the show and even when they are not.
Outlander Knitting will be available from your favorite book retailers starting October 27.
