Felicity was designed by Jane Vanselous. When asked about her pattern, Jane said, “Sometimes when situations around us seem bleak or those around us are negative, it can be easy to lose our joy. Although masked, it is still there inside of us. In times like this, it can be helpful to shut out the noise and reach deep within, remembering the things that make you truly happy. It may be people that make you laugh, an activity that nourishes your soul, or a particularly fond memory. Whatever it is, allow it to shift your focus, restoring your radiance.”

“The Felicity shawl is based on a two-stitch, six-row repeating pattern. On the right side, one color dominates, while the second color peeks out from beneath. By simply reversing the yarn colors used in each row, the second color becomes the dominant one. Construction begins at the narrow end, gradually increases to the full width of the shawl, and finishes off with a section of single color ribbing.”

This is an Adventurous Beginner level pattern that is perfect for knitters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Skills/concepts include dropped stitches, basic lace, color changes, and blocking techniques. The pattern includes written instructions, as well as a schematic, and comes with a video tutorial.

Felicity is knitted with both our Buttery Worsted and Pearlescent Worsted yarns. Our scrumptious Buttery Worsted yarn is a dreamy soft, 2-ply yarn that’s boingy, bouncy, comfy, cozy, cushy, and cloud-like! It is unbelievably soft and perfect for snuggly blankets, cuddly accessories, sweaters, and other garments. Buttery Worsted is made from 100% Superwash Merino Wool and has 224 yds/205 m per skein.

Our luscious Pearlescent Worsted yarn is shimmering, heavenly, and wildly popular! It’s a delicious, glowing blend of 50% Superwash Merino Wool and 50% Mulberry Silk that’s luxurious, soft, and gleaming and has 220 yds/201 m per skein. 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. The colors truly appear to be iridescent!

The sample shown here was knitted with our Night Sailing Hues 4-Skein Kit, which includes two skeins of Inky Indigo Buttery Worsted (Color A) and two skeins of Stargaze Pearlescent Worsted (Color B) and used approximately 840 yds/768 m total (Color A: 425 yds/389 m and Color B: 415 yds/379 m).

We made a video tutorial showing how to get started knitting this shawl. Grab your needles and yarn, and cast on with me!

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 #6, we used Feather Blue 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. I hope you’ll join us to get in on all the fun!

Nubben was designed by Cari Jehlik. When asked about her pattern, Cari said, “With alternating sections of linen and nubby stitches, Nubben is a simple pattern that yields a stunning result. The moderately-sized shawl shifts from beginning to end, reducing the number of rows of linen stitches while then increasing the rows of nubby stitches for a satisfying fade between the two stitches. The linen stitch provides a solid fabric, while the nubby stitch has a luxurious texture, and they complement each other perfectly.”

This Intermediate level pattern is for those who feel comfortable with crocheting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include changing colors, working linen stitch, following alternate directions, and blocking techniques. The pattern includes written instructions, as well as a schematic, and comes with a video tutorial.

Nubben is crocheted with our exquisite Harmony Yak Fingering, and ohhh, this base is pure indulgence! This single-ply beauty feels impossibly soft and silky, with a subtle, luminous glow that makes every stitch feel special. It’s the kind of yarn that melts against your skin, light yet warm, strong yet supple. The blend of 65% Superwash Merino Wool, 20% Silk, and 15% Natural Yak creates fabric that’s breathable, beautifully draping, and wonderfully durable, perfect for garments and wraps you’ll treasure and reach for again and again. With 437 yds/400 m per skein, it’s slinky and puddly and utterly divine in your hands.

The sample shown here was made with one Autumn’s Symphony Hues Harmony Yak Fingering Kit (437 yds/400 m per skein; 2,622 yds/2,400 m per kit) and used approximately 2,504 yds/2,290 m total: Colors A – D and F: 437 yds/400 m each and Color E: 319 yds/292 m.

The Foxtrot socks were designed by Pam Meek. When asked about this design, Pam said, “My daughter loves ballroom dancing. She loves dancing everything from the classic Foxtrot to the spicy Paso Doble. It is important for her to keep her legs and ankles warm while warming up and practicing, so leg warmers are ideal for this purpose. This sock pattern was adapted with love from a leg warmer pattern I made for her.”

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 sock construction, chart reading, lace stitches, and Kitchener stitch.

The Foxtrot socks are knitted with our luxurious Crema Sock yarn, which is a dreamy blend of 70% Superwash Merino Wool and 30% Mulberry Silk. This base takes the dye incredibly well, which results in fabulous, hand-dyed shades. Crema Sock is a 4-ply yarn that is bouncy and long-lasting, as well as soft and squishy. With gorgeous drape, excellent structure, a soft hand, and a subtle glow, this yarn is lovely for socks, shawls, sweaters, accessories, blankets, baby items, and so much more! Truly, this yarn has it all with 350 yds/320 m per skein!

The Foxtrot socks come in three sizes S (M, L), which correspond to approximate leg circumferences of 7” (7.5”, 8”) when blocked and un-stretched. All sizes are approximately 6” long from the cuff bottom to the top of heel flap, and the leg length is adjustable.

Smoulder was designed by Kayla Baldwin. When asked about her design, Kayla said, “Simple, seamless, and fun to knit, this top-down cardigan is perfect for newer knitters and experienced makers alike. Smoulder looks beautiful knitted in one color or many and was designed to let special yarns shine, like Dragon Lore with its rich, firelit tones that shift and gleam.”

“You’ll work the body in one piece, and then pick up stitches for the collar at the end — no seaming required. Optional buttonholes give you even more ways to personalize. Pick two, three, or even six of your favorite colors, cast on, and enjoy a cozy, easy-to-knit cardigan that’s all your own.”

This Intermediate level pattern is for those who feel comfortable with knitting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills include reading a pattern, garment construction and shaping, working increases and decreases, knitting colorwork stripes both flat and in the round, and picking up stitches for the sleeves and neckband. This pattern includes written instructions and a schematic and comes with a video tutorial.

Smoulder was knit with our luxurious Wishglow Sport yarn, which 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 100-gram skein. A joy to work with and wear! Supple and shining with beautiful stitch definition!

The pattern is offered in sizes XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL, 3XL)(4XL, 5XL), which correspond to bust sizes of 32 (36, 40, 46) (50, 55, 60) (65, 70)’’ / 81 (91, 102, 117) (127, 140, 152) (165, 178) cm. This sweater is designed to be worn with 2” (5 cm) of positive ease. The sample shown here used five colors and is shown in size Small on a 34” bust with 2” positive ease, a length of 16” from underarm, and sleeves that measure 17” from underarm.

You’ll need 3 – 8 skeins of Wishglow Sport yarn, depending on the size you select and the number of stripes you include. See the yardage breakdown on page 8 of the pattern for more details. If you wish to make the body or sleeves longer, you will need additional yarn.

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 #5, we used Look Within 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.

Bertha was designed by Emma Butram. When asked about her pattern, Emma said, “My great-grandmother was named Bertha, and she excelled at making pretty things to decorate her home with whatever supplies were handy. Even during the Depression and World War II when times were difficult, she still managed to keep her family warm and her home pretty with her handcrafted doilies, blankets, and clothes. In honor of her, I designed this Granny Square blanket, which uses six different block designs that all work together to create a snuggly throw blanket. The blocks are based on stitches from 200 Crochet Blocks by Jan Eaton.”
