Vivaldi was designed by Johanna Huck. When asked about this pattern, Johanna said, “Embark on a 12-month knitting adventure with the Vivaldi MKAL, where each month’s clue evokes a specific stage of the day or one of the four seasons. The project begins with a foundation that establishes a strong, textured panel, structurally linking to subsequent clues. Your journey will explore a diverse range of knitting techniques, alternating between delicate lacework and rich, dimensional texture using a shifting palette of hues. As the year progresses, you’ll encounter motifs representing the crispness of winter, the freshness of spring, the warmth of summer, and the deep texture of autumn. The entire project culminates in a final geometric piece before all sections are united and crowned with a decorative final border, completing this yearlong masterpiece.”

This pattern is an Intermediate level design and is for knitters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Concepts include working to gauge, knitting in the round, cable knitting, eyelet lace, placing beads, adding lifelines, mosaic knitting, reading charts, special stitches, color changes, and applied border.

To knit Vivaldi, you will need 12 different colored skeins of our luxurious, beautifully soft Oasis Camel Silk DK yarn or an equivalent amount of yarn/yardage in another DK-weight yarn. For Clue #8, we used Elven Grove Oasis Camel Silk DK.

Each month, we’ll let you know which color we used for that clue, but you can also create your own color combination. We DO recommend that you choose colors with a good amount of contrast among them, and knit Vivaldi with at least two different colors.

Our elegant, long-wearing Oasis Camel Silk DK yarn is the stuff that dreams are made of! This luscious 4-ply yarn blends exotic, sultry camel fiber with shimmering mulberry silk to create something truly magical. The result? A silky, supple yarn that glides through your hands and brings unmatched softness, strength, and that irresistible silken glow. Each skein offers 251 yds (230 m) of luxury, perfect for shawls, wraps, sweaters, scarves, and heirloom-worthy accessories you’ll treasure for years.

We are also having a yearlong contest for this pattern with prizes! And they’re going to be bigger and better than ever with both monthly prizes and HUGE grand prizes! The Mystery Knit Along event is being hosted solely on Ravelry. Click HERE to learn more and to sign up for the MKAL. I hope you’ll join us to get in on all the fun!

Bubbles was designed by Donielle Oliver Showvay. When asked about this pattern, Donielle said, “2026 marks my tenth anniversary as proud owner of Knitting Knicely. If anyone had told me over 30 years ago when I found my love for fiber arts as a young girl, that I would be designing my own knit and crochet patterns, I would have laughed in disbelief. But here I am, blessed beyond measure to be able to do what I love and support my family while doing it! This shawl is a celebration of the love and support I have always felt from such an amazing fiber art community!”

This is a Beginner level pattern that is perfect for the beginner crocheter who wants to explore simple color changes. This shawl uses five colors that change every few rows. The stitches are mostly half double crochet with a couple rows of single crochet. Some stitches are skipped to create an eyelet, which represents bubbles. The pattern includes written instructions, as well as a schematic, and comes with a video tutorial.

Bubbles is crocheted with our divine Oasis Camel Silk DK yarn, which is a luscious 4-ply blend of 50% exotic, sultry camel fiber with 50% shimmering mulberry silk. The result? A silky, supple yarn that glides through your hands and brings unmatched softness, strength, and that irresistible silken glow. Each skein offers 251 yds (230 m) of luxury that’s perfect for shawls, wraps, sweaters, scarves, and heirloom-worthy accessories you’ll treasure for years.

The sample shown here was crocheted with our June Alexandrite Hues Oasis DK Kit (1,255 yds/1,150 m per five-skein kit) and used approximately 1,115 yds/1,020 m total. The colors were crocheted in the following order: A) Sea Foam, B) Periwinkle, C) Purple, D) Lavender, and E) Blue.

Felineley was designed by Candy Key. When asked about this pattern, Candy said, “If you love cats, you need to make this cowl! Expression Fiber Arts has designed some yarn colors that resemble different cat breeds. If you have a special cat, find the yarn that represents your cat, and knit this creation. Other cat lovers will stop you and ask about the cats on the cowl, and then you can share stories about your own cat.”

“The entire cowl is knitted in Stockinette Stitch, except for the top and bottom borders, which are created with Seed Stitch. If you have never knitted by carrying one yarn behind the other, give it a try! It’s not hard. It just takes patience and practice. When you finish, this cowl will be a conversation piece.”

This Intermediate level pattern is for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include Fair Isle knitting, managing tension, and reading charts. The pattern includes written and charted instructions, as well as photos to guide you.

Felineley is knitted with our Resilient Sock yarn, which is our signature sock yarn and a customer fave for good reason. It’s made from 100% Superwash Merino Wool, which means it’s deliciously soft, yet still strong enough to stand up to repeated wear. With its bouncy, elastic feel and springy high twist, Resilient Sock has that perfect “boing” factor. It stretches when you need it to, but always bounces right back. The 4-ply construction gives you gorgeous stitch definition and a bit of extra durability, too, so your creations stand the test of time. Whether you’re whipping up cozy socks, floaty shawls, sweet little baby garments, hats, mittens, cuddly stuffed friends, or any other treasure your heart dreams up, Resilient Sock is up for the task.

Our sample was made with one skein each of Black Cat Resilient Sock (BC) and Munchkin Resilient Sock (CC) and used approximately 595 yds/544 m total (Color BC: 350 yds/320 m and Color CC: 245 yds/224 m).

Our featured pattern for the Fall Knit and Read Along is Centered, which was designed by Carolyn Currier. When asked about this design, Carolyn said, “There is a particular peace that comes from making something slowly with intention, stitch by stitch, row by row, always moving toward the center. This blanket is worked in 16 squares, and each one begins at the outer edge and draws inward, row by row, toward a still and quiet heart. The design is meditative, rhythmic, and deeply satisfying to watch take shape. Gold runs through this blanket like magic, reminding us that we are both the center of our own story and held within something greater. Knit it slowly. Let it center you.”

This is an Adventurous Beginner level pattern and is for knitters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Skills/concepts include knit, purl, slipped stitches, and seaming techniques. The pattern includes written instructions, as well as schematics, and comes with a video tutorial.

Centered is knitted with our luxurious Pearlescent Fingering yarn, which is a 50:50 blend of Superwash Merino Wool and Mulberry Silk. When you combine these fibers into a single-ply yarn, you get subtle differences in tone, as the wool and silk take the dye differently. Colors dyed onto this yarn base are super rich and saturated and appear iridescent and otherworldly. Pearlescent Fingering is ideal for next-to-skin accessories like cowls, shawls, scarves, hats, and more! Unbelievably soft with a lovely drape and a shine that just won’t quit and 550 yds/503 m per skein!

The sample shown here was knit with our Very Secret Society Hues Pearlescent Fingering Kit and used approximately 5,250 yds/4,800 m total (Color A: 510 yds/470 m, Color B: 510 yds/470 m, Color C: 480 yds/440 m, Color D: 480 yds/440 m, Color E: 460 yds/420 m, Color F: 460 yds/420 m, Color G: 470 yds/430 m, Color H: 480 yds/440 m, Color I: 480 yds/440 m, Color J: 460 yds/420 m, and Color K: 460 yds/420 m).

We made a video in which I show how to knit the mitered squares that are featured in this pattern and share more about our Fall Knit and Read Along event. Take a look to learn all about it!

Our featured pattern for the Fall Crochet and Read Along is Encircle, which was designed by Carolyn Currier. When asked about this design, Carolyn said, “Found family doesn’t always look the way we expect. Sometimes it arrives in pieces, from different directions, in colors we never thought to put together, and somehow it becomes exactly right. Gold runs through this blanket like magic, reminding us that we are both the center of our own story and held within something greater.”

“Worked in 16 squares, each of which starts at the center and expands outward to meet the others, this design is meditative, rhythmic, and deeply satisfying to assemble into something whole. This blanket is for those who have found where they belong and for the ones still searching. May it encircle you like the community you deserve.”

This is an Adventurous Beginner to Intermediate level pattern and is for crocheters who feel comfortable with crocheting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include ch, sc, hdc, dc, FPdc, BPdc, and holding yarn double. The pattern includes written instructions, as well as schematics, and comes with a video tutorial.

Meander was designed by Anne Robinson. When asked about this pattern, Anne said, “Meander is a worsted-weight scarf that features a broken rib edging, vertical cables, and a textured motif. Meander celebrates long, slow walks through the winter forest. Winter woods boast so many beauties: pinecones, snow-capped fir trees, bright-eyed chickadees, scarlet cardinals, and silence. And waiting at the end of your leisurely stroll? Hot cocoa, a crackling fireplace, and cookies. This scarf will keep your neck warm and toasty until the end of your journey and beyond.”

This Adventurous Beginner to Intermediate level pattern is for knitters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Skills/concepts include reading charts, slipped stitches, basic cables, and blocking techniques. The pattern includes both written and charted instructions.

Meander is knit with our scrumptious Crema Worsted yarn, which is a luxurious blend of 70% Superwash Merino Wool and 30% Mulberry Silk. It’s a luscious, shimmering, 8-ply yarn that is bouncy and long-lasting with 192 yds/175 m per skein. With excellent structure, a soft hand, and a subtle glow, this yarn is lovely for shawls, sweaters, accessories, blankets, baby items, and so much more! It is a dreamy yarn that takes the dye incredibly well, which results in fabulous, hand-dyed shades!

Our sample used three skeins of Paprika Crema Worsted yarn or approximately 388 yds/355 m total.

The Abscission socks were designed by Kayla Baldwin. When asked about the inspiration for this design, Kayla said, “Named after graceful, falling leaves in autumn, these socks feature cascading leaves flowing gently down the foot. Worked from the top down and using simple lace stitches, these socks are an ideal combination of beautiful and effortless. Knit these socks in fresh spring or warm autumn colors for an easy addition to your sock drawer. Falling leaves usually symbolize embracing change, and I hope these socks bring new life and vitality to your knitting!”

This Intermediate level pattern is for those who feel comfortable with knitting socks and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include lace, centered double decrease (CDD), and general sock construction. The pattern includes written and charted instructions.

The Abscission socks are knitted with our CashSilk Sock yarn, which is a heavenly blend of 75% Superwash Merino Wool, 15% Cashmere, and 10% Silk. It’s a dreamy soft, luxurious sock yarn that’s warm, cuddly, squishy, and strong with the tiniest hint of glow and 410 yds/375 m per skein. It has a 4-ply structure that results in round, beautifully defined stitches, which is perfect for long-wearing items like sweaters and socks!

The Abscission socks are available in three sizes: S, M, and L, which correspond to US women’s sizes: 7 (8, 9.25)” / 18 (21.3, 23.5) cm. You’ll want to choose a size with approximately 1” / 2.5 cm of negative ease in circumference when measured around the ball of the foot.

Tribute was designed by Debi Maige. When asked about this pattern, Debi said, “In 2014, I received an invitation from Tonya of Rowe’s Patterns and Gifts to do some test knitting for her. I gladly accepted, proceeded to test knit several of her sock patterns, and she returned the favor when I began my design journey. My favorite is her Damask sock pattern, and while wearing them recently, it hit me that the stitch pattern would be beautiful in a sweater. I immediately contacted Tonya, asked her permission to design a sweater around her stitch design, she said YES, and my tribute to Damask was born.”

“Tribute is a bottom up tee with a beautiful central panel flanked by easy, but effective cables. The body is split and then worked flat for front and back. Shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind off, and sleeves are picked up at the armhole and worked down. The finishing touch is a 1 x 1 Twisted Rib at the hems and neckline.”

“I love how this community has made it possible to build lasting, supportive friendships even though you may never meet face to face. So, thank you, Tonya, and here’s to many, many more years of friendship!”

This Advanced level pattern is for the adventurous knitter who loves to tackle something a bit more complicated. Skills/concepts include cables, chart reading, decreasing, and garment sizing. The pattern includes written and charted instructions, as well as a schematic. You will need to be able to read a chart to knit this sweater.

Tribute is knitted with our luxurious Moongleam Fingering yarn, which is a soft and silky blend of 50% cotton and 50% mulberry silk. Just heavenly! This 2-ply, fingering weight yarn is glowing and buttery and perfect for a variety of projects. Shawls and scarves are fantastic, as are sweaters, blankets, home items, and more! Breathable and light and amazing for warmer climates with 437 yds/400 m per skein.

The pattern is offered in sizes XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL, 3XL) (4XL, 5XL), which correspond to finished bust measurements of 32 (36.25, 40.25, 44.5) (48, 54.5, 58) (62.25, 65.75)”/ 81.5 (92, 101.5, 113) (122, 138.5, 147.5) (158, 167) cm. The sweater is designed to be worn with 2-4” / 5-10 cm of positive ease.

Our sample was knitted with Maple Moongleam Fingering and is shown in a size Small, modeled on a 34″ (86 cm) bust with 2.25″ (5.5 cm) of positive ease. You’ll need three to seven skeins of Moongleam Fingering depending on the size you select.

Arcoiris was designed by Johanna Huck. When asked about this pattern, Johanna said, “Embark on a 12-month crochet adventure as you craft the Arcoiris MCAL. Arcoiris, the Spanish word for “rainbow,” perfectly describes this project’s journey through a continuous spectrum of hues, representing all the colors of the rainbow. The process begins with a foundation of bold texture, structurally linked to the next clue via a unique, two-color transition section. Your journey will take you through a diverse range of stitchwork, exploring both delicate lacework and rich, dimensional texture. Midway, the construction shifts to a new panel that introduces ornate, flowing designs before building to deep, autumnal texture. Finally, the project culminates with a dimensional, geometric piece worked in the round before the three sections are united and crowned with a final embellishment.”

This pattern is an Adventurous Beginner to Intermediate level design and is for crocheters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Concepts include working to gauge, color changes, reading charts, special stitches, seaming, and blocking.

To crochet Arcoiris, you will need 12 different colored skeins of our dreamy soft Wishglow Sport yarn or an equivalent amount of yarn/yardage in another sport-weight yarn. For Clue #7, we used Cypress Wishglow Sport yarn.

Each month, we’ll let you know which color we used for that clue, but you can also create your own color combination. We DO recommend that you choose colors with a good amount of contrast among them, and crochet Arcoiris with at least two different colors.

Wishglow Sport is a heavenly, delectable blend of 50% Superwash Fine Merino Wool (19.5 micron) and 50% Mulberry Silk that’s unbelievably soft with a dreamy, shimmering glow. Light and airy, this yarn is perfect for flowing shawls, super soft garments, silky accessories, and more! This two-ply yarn has 383 yds/350 m per 100-gram skein. A joy to work with and wear! Supple and shining with beautiful stitch definition!

We’re also having a yearlong contest for this pattern with prizes! And they’re going to be bigger and better than ever with both monthly prizes and HUGE grand prizes! The Mystery Crochet Along event is being hosted solely on Ravelry. This year, I’m not planning to release a new YouTube video for each monthly clue. However, you can still find all the support you need and get your questions answered on the Ravelry discussion thread. Click HERE to learn more and to sign up for the MCAL.
