NORO Knitting & Crochet Magazine No. 26 – knitting and crochet patterns for spring and summer

NORO Knitting & Crochet Magazine No. 26 is an English-language magazine with knitting and crochet patterns for the warmer months. It is the Spring/Summer 2025 issue, was published in April 2025 by Knitting Fever and has 96 pages.

The designs are made for Noro yarns, that is, yarns with their typical colour gradients. According to Knitting Fever, this issue uses Akari Solo, Ohajiki, Akari, Sonata Shima, Sonata, Kompeito, Yukata, Kakigori, Natsumeki and Kureyon, among others. So you can see as you flick through which yarn belongs to which project.

Who is the magazine for?

The patterns are written in English. You will therefore need to be familiar with the usual English knitting and crochet abbreviations. For crochet, check whether US or UK terms are used, as the same name refers to different stitches in each. If you have already worked from English patterns, you will find your way around quickly.

Which issue suits you?

The Noro Magazine comes out in a Spring/Summer and an Autumn/Winter issue. No. 26 is one of the Spring/Summer issues. No. 20 is from 2022, No. 22 from 2023 and No. 28 from 2026. The issues differ in their designs and the yarns used. Choose the issue whose yarns you want to work with anyway or already have in your stash.

Choosing yarn and planning quantities

It is best to stick with the yarn named in the pattern, as the length and stitch appearance are matched to it. If you want to use a different yarn, first compare its length and needle size with the details in the magazine. What matters is the tension given in your pattern.
