Series 4 The Traitors Knitwear Inspiration - and it's not just Claudia's knitwear!
We are back with our annual Traitors blog post. Take a look back on the post for Series 3 and Series 2 for even more inspiration. A round up of the fabulous knitwear worn by Claudia Winkleman throughout series 4 of The Traitors. Her stylist Sinead McKeefry bringing us covetable looks every episode. However, it's not just Claudia's knitwear that caught our eye this time around. Contestants Stephen, Jade and Matthew's knitwear game has been strong, with Rachel rocking up to breakfast in some incredible oversized jumpers in the final episodes too. The anticipation of their outfit choice making an entrance to the breakfast room was almost as exciting as Claudia gliding in wearing her look of the day. Claudia combining her cosy, heritage chic, come gothic attire is not to be missed.
Let's begin with Claudia's knitwear from series 4 of the Traitors. We've scouted around and found similar knitting and crochet patterns for hats, jumpers and cardigans to the various designer pieces worn in the show. When knitwear pops up on TV you can't help but start day dreaming of knitting patterns you know are similar.

A cosy, possibly fluffy tank top stylishly layered over a patterned pussy bow blouse. We have just the pattern selection for you.

A stunning fair isle knitted tank top over a roll neck jumper. What a classic combination!
Ribbed Hat

Almost like a tea cosy this hat is the ultimate ribbed hat for winter. We have found a similar selection, including a crochet version.
Colourwork Yoke Sweater

What is not to love about a colourwork yoke sweater? This knitted beauty worn by Claudia inspired us to find two new additions for this winter from Rowan and West Yorkshire Spinners.
Loopy Stitch Cardigan

This one may have been a jumper but we have a new pattern just in from Stylecraft for a loopy stitch
cardigan. It's available as a knitted or crocheted pattern.

Now we turn to the knitwear worn by the Traitors and Faithfuls themselves. There has been so much talk of the Hope Macauley cardigans worn by Jade and Rachel online. We love a super chunky handknit and couldn't resist finding some from our pattern collection.
Oversized Chunky Knitted Cardigan

We've got knitted and crocheted cardigans of the oversized kind here. The Stylecraft Special XL one is great for playing with colour!
Cabled Oversized Sweater

When Rachel wore this pink cabled jumper I instantly thought of the
Sirdar Stories Chunky sweater in pink as a great hand knitted option.
This yarn comes in the perfect pastel pink shade too.
Cosy Cable Jumper

If there was a vote for the most stylish contestant on the traitors this year then Stephen would win hands down. Not only his knitwear but outfits in general were simply fabulous.
I walk past a cabled jumper just like this in the shop every day and it is the perfect colour match. The pattern is by Mode at Rowan.
Striped Jumper

This one is not necessarily a hand knit style of a jumper worn by Stephen, but you can create a striking similar hand knit version in
Sirdar Soft Down.
Men's Fair Isle Tank Top
Matthew probably had more knitwear than Claudia this series. This is not officially a fair isle tank top but the clever effect of
King Cole Fjord DK creates an almost fair isle effect when knitted.
Marl Effect Polo Neck Sweater

Not all of these sweater patterns are marl effect however, they have definitely all got a Matthew Traitors style feel about them. The one below is knitted with two strands of yarn together.
