Knit off
The series kicks off with the knitters reimagining the timeless Fair Isle pattern in a contemporary tank top. Then, in a test of teamwork and scale, they split into two groups to craft an extraordinary creation—a life-sized knitted sofa.
Icons Week
It's Icons Week and the knitters make doggy outfits and pull off 80s jumper designs. Whose outfit will merit credit? And whose 80s knit will be a top hit?
Holiday Week
It's Holiday Week and the knitters make glamorous swimwear and crochet a deckchair. Whose swimwear will make a splash? And will anyone be laid back in the team knit?
Kids Week
It's Kids Week! The knitters devise imaginative fancy dress outfits for the solo challenge, and craft intricate interactive wall hangings in teams.
Texture Week
For Texture Week the knitters are challenged to create the ultimate slouchy cardigan, and ultra-realistic amigurumi food so lifelike that it looks good enough to eat.
Statement Stitching: Quarter-final
It's a statement stitching quarter-final as the knitters make bold eye-catching jewellery and lace for a lighting feature. Who goes through and who's left hanging?
From Aran to Avant-Garde: Semi-final
The remaining knitters refashion Aran jumpers into striking catwalk dresses and repurpose fabric to craft unique bags. Who'll strut their stuff into the final?
The Final
In a fabric-flinging final, our knitters yarn bomb a post box and craft a showpiece hat. After their needles knock for the last time, it's hats off for the winner!
