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.

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.

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. I hope you’ll join us to get in on all the fun!

Belofte was designed by Donielle Oliver Showvay. When asked about this pattern, Donielle said, “Belofte is the word for ‘promise’ in the Dutch language. The rainbow has always been for me a symbol of promise. A promise that even in the worst storm, there is light at the end. A promise that even in the darkest night, dawn is coming. Everyone has experienced times of hardship, but this shawl is a reminder that there is a Higher Power that will always help us make it through to the other side.”

This is an Intermediate level pattern that is perfect for crocheters who feel comfortable with crocheting and have made a few projects, using various skills and techniques. Skills/concepts include slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, and treble crochet. Short rows are also used for shaping. This pattern includes written instructions, as well as a schematic, and comes with a video tutorial.

Belofte is crocheted with our divine Allure Fingering yarn, which is made from 100% Mulberry Silk. There is truly nothing quite like working with pure silk! It has a naturally cool, fluid feel in your hands, a luminous glow that seems to catch the light from every angle, and a drape that moves like water. Silk is both strong and elegant, creating fabric that feels sumptuous against the skin and wears beautifully over time. Every stitch feels refined, special, and quietly luxurious, turning even the simplest project into something extraordinary.

The sample shown here was crocheted with our Rainbow Mountain Hues Allure Fingering Kit [218 yds/200 m per skein (2,180 yds/2,000 m per 10-skein kit)]. The colors were used in the following order: A) Aqua, B) Green, C) Sage, D) Blue, E) Dark Purple, F) Light Purple, G) Pink, H) Dark Orange, I) Light Orange, and J) Tan. The sample shown here used nearly all of the yarn in the kit, so gauge is important in this pattern.

We made a video tutorial for this lovely pattern! Grab your hook and some yarn, and crochet along with me as I demonstrate how to crochet this shawl!

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 #7, we used Sea Teal 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!

Mandevilla was designed by Courtney Cox. When asked about her pattern, Courtney said, “Mandevilla is a stunning, lace cowl of generous proportions. This oversized beauty first offers a simple, easy to memorize, relaxing knitting experience. Savor each row, as the undulating waves of Alpaca Silk Lace yarn work up into a delightfully soft finish that feels like a hug. With instructions for pattern adjustment according to preferred size, this cowl creates a show-stopping piece sure to elevate any outfit in appearance and in comfort.”

This Adventurous Beginner level pattern is for knitters who are ready to learn some new skills or stitch combinations. Skills include basic lace, color changes, and blocking. The pattern includes written instructions only and comes with a video tutorial.

Mandevilla is knitted with our gorgeous Alpaca Silk Lace yarn, which is a heavenly blend of 50% baby alpaca and 50% mulberry silk that’s warm and soft with a gorgeous drape and a shimmery glow. When you combine alpaca with silk, you get a yarn that is pure luxury and a joy to work with. Although this yarn is a lace-weight yarn, it’s more like a light fingering, which makes it easy to knit and crochet with. With a whopping 604 yds/552 m per skein, just a few skeins are enough for most projects.

We used our Delicate Dance Hues Alpaca Silk Lace Kit to knit the sample shown, which used approximately 1,812 yds/1,656 m total. The colors were worked from light to dark, and almost all the yarn in each skein was used.

We made a video tutorial showing how to knit this pattern. Take a look!

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.

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.
