Issue 48 - Official Preview
Issue 48, Check Mate has many meanings to us at this time but most importantly, as the last ever edition of Pom Pom Quarterly, it marks the end of a wonderful journey. This knitted and crocheted ode to wovens includes patterns we believe any maker will be proud to create. With two needles or a hook, these designs were inspired by the beauty of weaving and pay a special tribute to this ancient sister craft.

I purchased the last issue of pompom No. 48 and was ready to knit Fortuna’s Wheel Pullover. However, there are only charts for size 2 in the book.
