Sister was designed by Anne Robinson. When asked about her pattern, she said, “Sister is a rectangular, cabled piece that can be worn as either a shawl or scarf. It is accented by a beautifully textured bramble stitch, and the main body features giant cables bookending a central XO cable. Designer Anne Robinson was inspired by one of her favorite vocalists Karen Carpenter. Karen’s rich, silky voice is interpreted in the deep chestnut color of EFA’s elegant Beacon DK yarn base. Anne said, ‘Karen’s voice brings with it a sense of nostalgia to me, and that is reflected in the cozy stitch patterns and the way the finished piece wraps around the body.’ This is the perfect knit for anyone who enjoys texture and cables.”

This Intermediate level pattern is for knitters who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include cables, special stitches, and reading charts. The pattern includes written and charted instructions. You will need to be able to read charts to knit this pattern.

Sister is knitted with our beautiful Beacon DK yarn, which is a dreamy delight that’s spun from 25% Baby Camel, 25% Mulberry Silk, and 50% Lyocell. The result is a luminous yarn with irresistible shimmer and buttery softness you’ll fall in love with from the very first stitch. Each skein features a smooth, 8-ply construction, which creates strength, amazing stitch definition, and flowing drape that feels divine. Beacon DK is a perfect choice for silky soft garments or any project where you want the fabric to move with grace.

Our sample was made with four skeins of Mulled Apple Cider Beacon DK (250 yds/228 m per skein) and used approximately 925 yds / 846 m total.

We made a video showing how to work the Bramble Stitch, which is featured in this pattern. Take a look!

Sombras was designed by Debi Maige. When asked about this pattern, Debi said, “Sombras or ‘shadows’ can certainly be a scary thing under the wrong circumstances, but in the right circumstances, shadows can create some of the most beautiful visions I can think of…a dew drop in a dark corner of the garden catching a lone sunbeam suddenly becomes a diamond in the gloom. This fun garment is worked seamlessly in the round, beginning at the bottom ribbing and moving into shadow mosaic knitting, before being split for the front and back and worked flat until the shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind off. The sleeves are picked up at the armholes and worked top down, and the neckband is the final touch.”

This Intermediate to Advanced level pattern is for the adventurous knitter who loves to tackle something a bit more complicated. Skills/concepts include chart reading, mosaic knitting, decreasing, short rows, and garment sizing. The pattern includes written and charted instructions, as well as a schematic.

Sombras is knit with our beautifully shimmering Luster Sport yarn, which is soft, squishy, luminous, and just so lovely in your hands. This scrumptious yarn is a blend of 50% Superwash Merino Wool and 50% Lyocell, a plant fiber that gives the yarn a silky glow without the silk price tag. The shine is absolutely stunning, and the drape is beautiful for shawls, wraps, garments, accessories, and so much more. Each full-sized skein includes 395 yds/361 m, and our Luster Sport Minis include approximately 175 yds/160 m per 50-gram skein.

Sombras is available in nine sizes ranging from XS – 5XL, which correspond to finished bust measurements of 34.5 – 68.25″  (87.5 – 173.5 cm). The sweater is designed to be worn with 2 – 4” (5 – 10 cm) of positive ease. Our sample was made with Bella Luster Sport for the main color and the Cornucopia Hues Luster Sport Mini Kit for the contrasting colors.

You’ll need approximately 720 (800, 880, 968) (1,217, 1,434, 1,606) (1,790, 2,047) yds / 658 (732, 805, 885) (1,113, 1,311, 1,469) (1,637, 1,872) m of the main color and 198 yds / 181 m EACH of 12 contrasting colors. One 12-skein Luster Sport Mini kit includes enough yardage for any of the nine sizes.

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 #9, we used Yvonne Dahlia 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 364 yds/334 m per 95-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. Click HERE to learn more and to sign up for the MCAL. I hope you’ll join us to get in on all the fun!

The Continuity socks were designed by Becca Leith. When asked about the inspiration for this design, Becca said, “Continuity is a sock pattern that showcases the constant flow within two different kinds of cables, braided and one-directional. Most cables use the same stitches to flow in different directions. This represents how we go through life. Even though we do so many different things and circumstances change throughout our lives, we are still the same person and use our past experiences to dictate our future.”

“The Continuity socks are intended to be worn at mid-calf length and feature a German Twisted Cast On, a 2 x 2 ribbed cuff, and a contrasting color for the cuff, heel, and toe. A thick, braided cable runs down the top-center of the sock with smaller, one-directional cables on both sides. The cables go the whole length of the socks from the cuff to the toe. The cable pattern is charted, not written, so you will need to be able to read charts to knit this pattern.”

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 German Twisted Cast On, grafting, decrease stitches, using DPNs, simple cables, picking up stitches, and reading charts. You will need to be able to read charts to knit this pattern.

The Continuity socks are knitted with our Sincere Sock yarn, which is a delightfully soft, fingering-weight treasure that feels like a gentle hug in your hands. Spun from a scrumptious blend of 75% Superwash Merino Wool and 25% Nylon, this yarn offers that perfect balance of cozy softness and lasting durability. No scratchiness, no fuss, just pure comfort! It’s machine-washable (although we always recommend hand-washing your projects), and the way it soaks up color? Absolutely gorgeous! The shades are vibrant, rich, and radiant. With a 3-ply construction for lovely stitch definition and cloud-like squish, this yarn is a dream to work with. Each skein gives you 437 yds/400 m to play with and is perfect for anything your heart can dream up!

The Continuity socks are available in five US women’s sizes: XS (S, M) (L, XL), which correspond to foot circumferences of 6 (7, 8) (9, 10)” / 15 (18, 20) (23, 25) cm when measured at the ball of the foot and blocked. The sample shown here was knitted with Freedom Flight Sincere Sock and Chalk Sincere Sock yarn, and you’ll need one skein of each color for all sizes.

Download the Continuity socks today! I hope you LOVE them! Let me know in the comments below what colors you’ll use to knit your pair.

Mélange was designed by Jane Vanselous. When asked about her pattern, she said, “Although I have worked with mosaic knitting patterns for years, mosaic crochet is a new concept for me. When asked to design something using all 10 colors of Willowmist DK yarn, I immediately thought of this technique. It uses very basic stitches, making it an ideal project for almost any experience level. The design possibilities are seemingly endless!”

“Willowmist DK yarn is a joy to work with! While it works up like most fine merino yarns, the addition of the lyocell fiber gives it a slightly silky feel, and it produces a lovely drape to the fabric after blocking.”

This is an Intermediate level pattern that is perfect for those who feel comfortable with crocheting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include single and double crochet stitches, special stitches, color changes, and reading charts (optional). The pattern includes written and charted instructions, as well as a schematic, and comes with a helpful video.

Mélange is made with our new Limited Edition Willowmist DK yarn, which is a soft, lofty, wonderfully plump 3-ply blend of 80% fine Merino Wool and 20% Lyocell with a smooth hand, gentle bounce, and subtle luster that makes every stitch seem to glow. Inspired by the cozy, pastoral charm of hobbit life and the warm, earthy beauty of autumn, its 10 harmonious colors call to mind misty mornings, woodland paths, well-loved cottages, and the simple pleasure of settling in with something soft and handmade. With 250 yds/228 m per skein, Willowmist DK is a dreamy choice for luscious shawls, cozy sweaters, toasty accessories, huggable blankets, and so much more.

Our sample was made with one skein each of the following Willowmist DK colors: A) There and Back Again, B) Meadow at First Light, C) Second Breakfast, D) Moon Over the Shire, E) Hobbit Song, F) A Very Cozy Evening, G) Tales by Firelight, H) Pocketful of Starlight, I) Smoke From the Chimney, and J) A Kindly Enchantment. The sample used approximately 2,210 yds (2020 m) total.

This yarn base and colors are Limited Edition. Once they are sold out, they are gone for good, so be sure to purchase all you need for your project.

We made a video that includes tips on how to crochet this pattern. Take a peek! It’s easier than it looks!

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 #9, we used Crunchy Leaves 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!

Abrazo was designed by Amy Mercier. When asked about her pattern, Amy said, “Inspired by the Spanish word for ‘hug,’ I designed the Abrazo triangular shawl to envelop you in comfort and warmth through a meditative and soothing knit. As you knit, slip, and cross stitches, imagine you are knitting tiny hugs! When you finish, you will wrap yourself in a soft, textured embrace, as Abrazo will be more than a shawl; it will be a tangible representation of your self care and love for yourself.”

This Intermediate level pattern is for knitters who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include twisted stitches, increases, combination stitches, color changes, and blocking. The pattern includes written and charted instructions, as well as a schematic.

Abrazo is made with our beautiful Beacon DK yarn, which is a dreamy delight that’s spun from 25% Baby Camel, 25% Mulberry Silk, and 50% Lyocell. The result is a luminous yarn with irresistible shimmer and buttery softness you’ll fall in love with from the very first stitch. Each skein features a smooth, 8-ply construction, which creates strength, amazing stitch definition, and flowing drape that feels divine. Beacon DK is a perfect choice for silky soft garments or any project where you want the fabric to move with grace.

Our sample was knitted with our luscious Starting to Fall Hues Beacon DK Kit (250 yds/228 m per skein; 1,000 yds/912 m per kit) and used approximately 811 yds/742 m total [Color A) 188 yds/172 m; Color B) 205 yds/188 m; Color C) 220 yds/201 m; and Color D) 198 yds/181 m].

Broady was designed by Anne Jones. When asked about her debut pattern for Expression Fiber Arts, she said, “Broady is a triangular shawlette or neckerchief. It is knitted from the top down starting with a garter stitch tab. Broady was named after a dear family friend who recently passed. She was vibrant, vivacious, hilarious, and just a rare gem.”

“I love cables and have recently completely ditched my stitch dictionaries and started enjoying creating my own cables. I sketch and draw incessantly. Broady is a compilation of texture and geometry in a small, manageable project.”

This is an Intermediate level pattern that is perfect for knitters who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include working a top down triangular shawl pattern, reading a cable chart, and working cables with or without a cable needle. The pattern includes written and charter instructions, and you will need to be able to read charts to knit this pattern.

We made two versions of Broady, and the first version was knit with our dreamy Dewy DK yarn, which is softly sumptuous with just the right drape, structure, and a whisper of sheen that makes every stitch glow. Dewy DK blends 70% Superwash Merino Wool, 20% Nylon, and 10% Silk into 250 yds/228 m of pure bliss! It’s perfect for items you want to cherish for years or share with a loved one as a heartfelt gift.

This sample was knit with two skeins of Panacea Dewy DK and used 454 yds/415 m total, including fringe.

The second version was made with our scrumptious Alpaca Silk DK yarn. It’s squishy, cuddly, cushy, and huggably soft with the most beautiful shimmer from the silk. This heavenly 4-ply blend of 50% Baby Alpaca and 50% Mulberry Silk is snuggly and warm, long-wearing, wonderfully drapey, and ultra-soft against the skin, making it ideal for next-to-skin projects. With 230 yds/210 m per skein, this versatile DK-weight yarn works beautifully for garments, accessories, shawls, wraps, and any project where you want softness, warmth, and a little everyday luxury in every stitch.

This version was knit with two skeins of Insurgent Alpaca Silk DK and used 427 yds/390 m total, including fringe.

Splendid was designed by Janet Pippin. When asked about this pattern, Janet said, “Splendid is a wonderful, boomerang-shaped shawl. This shawl has a brilliant appearance with the movement of a solid color through contrasting color stripes. Drape Splendid around the shoulders like a shawl and pin in place, or wrap it around your neck like a cozy scarf.”

“Splendid features a four-row repeat, and the only difference between the row repeats is how they begin and end. Alternating double and single crochet stitches in each row brings in just the slightest bit of texture. This shawl was designed to really let the yarn colors themselves shine. The solid stitch pattern, along with the varying widths of the stripes, allows for strong contrast colors to stand out nicely.”

This is an Adventurous Beginner level pattern that is perfect for crocheters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Concepts include decrease stitches and color changes. The pattern includes written instructions only and comes with a video tutorial.

Splendid is crocheted with our luxurious Mirage Sport yarn, which is heavenly to work with. Soft, silky, and just the right amount of drape! It’s a lush blend of 70% Superwash Merino Wool, 10% Natural Baby Camel, 10% Cashmere, and 10% Mulberry Silk, which creates a perfect harmony of warmth and sheen. Every stitch glides effortlessly, and the finished fabric looks refined and elegant. Mirage Sport has 350 yds/320 m per skein.

For our first version of the Splendid shawl, we used two skeins of Burgundy Mirage Sport and one skein of Fool’s Gold Mirage Sport. That sample used approximately 910 yds/832 m total: Color A: 600 yds/549 m and Color B: 310 yds/283 m.

Our second sample was crocheted with one three-skein Reminiscent Hues Mirage Sport Kit and used approximately 857 yds/784 m total (Color A: 304 yds/278 m, Color B: 350 yds/320 m, and Color C: 203 yds/186 m). The colors were used in the following order: A) Medium Pink, B) Dark Pink, and C) Light Pink.

We made a video tutorial demonstrating how to crochet this shawl. Grab your hook and some yarn, and get ready to work a few stitches with me!
