Knit with Call the Midwife
Alannah Cardigan
The midwives in the show all wear classic red cardigans and this Alannah pattern is the perfect match. You could knit this to match the characters or try any colour of suitable aran yarn you’ve got in your stash! This pattern is available in sizes XS-5X, so it’s really easy to size up or down to suit anyone.
Time Out Cardigan
Doctor Turner loves to wear a comfy cardigan when he’s not seeing patients – this pattern from our archive is perfect for relaxing in and can be knitted in whatever colour you want. Here, it’s knitted in a variegated yarn from King Cole, but that can easily be swapped for a solid shade. There’s minimal shaping too, so the cardigan can be knitted for any member of the family!
Danielle Jumper
This jumper is a great basic piece, seen here on student doctor Timothy. Our pattern offers a v-neck option, as well as a round-neck version to match Timothy’s. Again, you can pick your own colour for this garment and it’s suitable for all genders as there’s no shaping. The ribbed hem and cuffs perfectly finish off the jumper.
Neat Nest Jumper
Reggie’s striped jumper with unique collar is hard to replicate! However, we think this cardigan from Knit Now issue 103 is a pretty good match – the stitch pattern evokes stripes in a delicate way and the collar offers a relaxed look, while still standing out. With minimal shaping, this cardigan is perfect for any recipient.
Koselig Vest
Fred’s plain sleeveless jumper is perfect for his role as handyman for Nonnatus House, but our version jazzes it up a little with a fun Fair Isle pattern! Of course, you could still knit a plain version in just one colour to match Fred’s, the choice is yours.
Chestnut Street Scarf
Timothy’s colourful striped scarf is perfect for the 1950s setting of the show, but this scarf gives it a more modern twist, using cables as stripes, rather than colours. Of course, you could choose a brightly coloured yarn for the same effect – it’s up to you!
Of course, aside from the wonderful garments and accessories worn by the adults in Call the Midwife, we can’t forget the babies! Here’s our pick of our favourite baby blankets from the Knit Now archive
