The Mikrokosmos socks were designed by Gazal Mohammed. When asked about the inspiration for this design, Gazal said, “While designing these socks, I found myself drawn to the quiet beauty of the old buildings around my city. The ancient columns, the delicate latticework on the windows, they all held a story. I took those little details, the curves and the patterns, and knit them into every stitch.”

“What I love most is how these socks feel like a little piece of the city – elegant enough to wear while wandering its streets, yet cozy enough for quiet moments at home. They’re a soft reminder that inspiration is everywhere, even in the walls we pass by every day.”

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 increases, decreases, small-circumference knitting, picking up stitches, working two stitch patterns simultaneously (front and back), Kitchener stitch seaming, and changing colors. The pattern includes written and charted instructions.

The Mikrokosmos socks are knitted with our Resilient Sock yarn, which is our signature sock yarn and a total 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!

The Mikrokosmos socks are available in three sizes S, M, and L, which correspond to US women’s sizes: 6 – 7.5 (8”/20.5 cm at cuff), 8 – 9.5 (8.5”/21.5 cm at cuff), and 10 – 12 (9”/23 cm at cuff). The sample shown here was made with Purple Crocus Resilient Sock and Unicorn Sprinkles Resilient Sock colors. One skein of each color is needed for all sizes. However, if you are knitting the socks in just one color, you may need two skeins for the largest size.

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

Vatu Talei was designed by Sharon Welch. When asked about her inspiration for this pattern, she said, “Vatu Talei (pronounced Va-too Tal-a) in the Fijian language means jewel or precious stone. That is exactly what this shlanket showcases, which is Chandi’s absolutely gorgeous Birthstones Collection in my favorite yarn base Crema Sock. This design is like opening your grandmother’s jewelry box, where all the gems and precious stones she collected through the decades dazzle, as you remember the significance and story behind each one. It’s truly a treasure.”

“Each one of us is assigned a gemstone at birth, our very own birthstone. Mine is Amethyst. What is yours? Your family collection? When you make your own Vatu Talei shlanket featuring all the gems in your family, you will have made a masterpiece that you will treasure for years to come, passing it down for generations just like grandmother’s jewels.”

This is an Intermediate level pattern that is suitable for crocheters who feel comfortable with crocheting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include working in the round, using special stitches, placing beads, blocking and finishing skills. The pattern includes written instructions, a photo tutorial, and schematics and comes with a video tutorial. Vatu Talei is crocheted 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 350 yds/320 m per skein. 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!

Our gorgeous, multicolored sample was crocheted with the In Love With Life Hues Crema Sock Kit, which includes 11 colorways from our Birthstones Collection, and the sample used approximately 2,900 yds/2,652 m total. The colors were used in the following order: A) Radiant Ruby, B) Clever Citrine, C) Peaceful Peridot, D) Endearing Emerald, E) Sacred Zircon, F) Spirited Sapphire, G) Authentic Alexandrite, H) Amazing Amethyst, I) Tempting Tourmaline, J) Alluring Aquamarine, and K) Dazzling Diamond.

We made a video tutorial demonstrating how to work the Flower Granny Square. Grab your hook and yarn, and follow along with me!

Margalo was designed by Anne Robinson. When asked about this pattern, Anne said, “Margalo is a simple, structural cowl. The design, named after the songbird in E. B. White’s Stuart Little, is knit in EFA’s Enduring Worsted on smaller than average needles to produce a fabric that is tight and soft. The Linen Stitch body takes on a woven look that is clean and modern. The cowl is knit flat and has a zippered closure that is sewn in after the piece is knit. E. B. White does not specify just what variety of songbird Margalo is, but looking at Garth William’s lovely illustrations, I have always imagined her to be a wren: small, industrious, and brave. The beautiful colorway Leaves is reminiscent of a wren’s humble plumage. This cowl is meant to fit tightly to your neck to keep you safe and warm in the winter time.”

This Adventurous Beginner level pattern is for those who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Concepts include linen stitch and sewing in a zipper. The pattern includes written instructions, as well as a photo tutorial.

Margalo is knitted with our Enduring Worsted and Luster Worsted Mini yarns. Our snuggly soft and cozy Enduring Worsted yarn has a nice, tight twist, which results in beautiful, defined stitches and projects that will hold up incredibly well. I custom designed this yarn, so that it’s durable enough for items you want to wear and love for a long, long time! This yarn is a blend of 80% Superwash Merino Wool and 20% Nylon and has approximately 180 yards (165 m) per skein. It’s ideal for next-to-skin accessories like scarves and cowls or sweaters, sweet baby items, blankets, and so much more!

Our glowing Luster Worsted Mini yarn is truly a joy to work with! This yarn is a beautiful blend of 50% Superwash Merino Wool and 50% Lyocell, giving you that silky glow and drape without sacrificing squish or softness. Each mini skein has approximately 87 yds/79 m, and a five-skein kit includes about 435 yds/395 m total—perfect for accessories, colorful accents and surface embellishment, and sweet projects made with intention. The shimmer is subtle but stunning, and every stitch feels like a little indulgence.

The Single-Color Margalo sample shown here was knit with two skeins of Leaves Enduring Worsted yarn and used 312 yds (285.5 m) total. The Multicolor sample was made with our Twilight Fog Hues Luster Worsted Mini Kit and used 288 yds (263.5 m) total.

Download Margalo today! I hope you LOVE it! Let me know in the comments below what colors you’ll use to knit your cowl.

Daydreamer was designed by Becca Leith. When asked about her design, Becca said, “What do you do when you’re mindlessly knitting? Daydream! Daydreamer is a simple, Stockinette Stitch, raglan-style sweater that’s designed to allow you to work on it anywhere without any stress. The simplicity of the design allows you to calm your mind from any stressors going on at the time, and daydreaming can help give you additional distraction from these stressors.”

“Because of the simple raglan design, the neckline, sleeve cuffs, body hem, and raglan sections are designed with twisted stitches to give them a unique touch. Daydreamer is knit top-down in the round, starting from the neck ribbing. This ribbing is folded over itself to create a double layered neck. The sweater is intended to be worn with about 4″ (10 cm) of positive ease.”

This Advanced level pattern is for the adventurous knitter who loves to tackle something a bit more complicated. Skills/concepts include Long-Tail Cast On, Backwards Loop Cast On, German Short Rows, Italian Bind Off, knitting through the back loops, and increase and decrease stitches. This pattern includes written instructions and a schematic.

Daydreamer is knit with our scrumptious Alpaca Silk DK yarn. This squishy, cuddly, and huggably soft yarn is crafted from a divine 50:50 blend of baby alpaca and mulberry silk, giving it an irresistible drape and a shimmering glow. This yarn is warm, snuggly, and ideal for next-to-skin garments, which makes every stitch a delight. With 230 yds (210 m) per skein, this plush, 4-ply yarn will give you endless creative possibilities!

This pattern is offered in sizes XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL, 3XL)(4XL, 5XL), which correspond to bust sizes of 33 (37, 41, 45) (49, 53, 57) (61, 65)” / 84 (94, 104, 114) (124, 135, 145) (155, 165) cm. This pattern is meant to be worn with about 4″ (10 cm) of positive ease, so choose a size that is about 4″ (10 cm) larger than your bust circumference. The sample is shown in size S, modeled on a 34″ (86 cm) bust.

The sample shown here was knitted with colors: A) Moon Whisper, B) Sundrenched, and C) Dawn’s Embrace. You’ll need 5 – 10 skeins total of Alpaca Silk DK yarn, depending on the size you select. See the yardage/meterage breakdown on page 5 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 #6, we used Honey Sand 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!

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!

The lace accents add some elegance to the piece, making it a perfect accessory to wear over anything from a cocktail dress to an outfit with jeans. The scarf is knit flat lengthwise, from sleeve to sleeve. The lace has a simple four-row repeat and would be a good project for someone looking to learn and practice basic lace techniques.”
