The July issue includes 98 pages of projects, including cardigans, shells, wraps, children's sweaters, throws and bags. There is also a section called Knitting Class, offering detailed diagrams that allow new knitters to learn knitting basics, such as casting on, increasing and decreasing stitches, binding off and fundamental knitting stitches, with a glossary of terms and knitting abbreviations.

Creative Knitting incorporates knitting projects made with the newest yarns in the latest styles. Each project includes a set of step-by-step instructions and additional pattern notes for projects written in skill levels that range from easy through intermediate. Every issue features afghans, home accents, garments for adults, infants and children, and gifts and accessories.
