This is our annual Special Occasion and Family issue. Look for sweaters and accessories for the entire family—including a snappy dog sweater, plenty of year-rounds sweaters, spiral boot socks, a Fair Isle hat in three sizes, knitted biker gloves, and much more! In addition, Ann Budd tells how to knit a sock in any size from the toe up, and she offers a practice pattern.
