You know that feeling when you discover a stitch pattern so beautiful you just can't stop thinking about it? That's exactly what happened with the Color Crush stitch. After designing the [Color Crush Shawl](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/color-crush-shawl), I kept coming back to that meditative slipped-stitch repeat.
 
The way the colors play off each other, the way it creates this gorgeous woven texture without actually weaving anything ... I knew it needed a second life. Something a little quicker, a little cozier, something you could wear right on your head for everyone to see.
 
So ... the **Color Crush Hat** was born.
 
Whether you knit it in DK weight with two striking contrasting colors or go bold with fingering weight and use multiple colors at once, this hat is made to show off the colors you love most.
 
It's the perfect canvas for that colorway you've been hoarding, those mini skeins you can't bear to use on anything ordinary, or that color combo you've been dreaming about for months.
 
The Color Crush stitch works in the round beautifully, with only one color worked at a time, so it's much more beginner-friendly than it looks. (Yes, really!)
 
A soft tubular cast-on gives you the most professional, stretchy, comfortable brim you've ever made.
 
This hat is the kind of knit that makes people stop you on the street. And when they ask, "Did you make that?" ... you'll get to say yes!

> **THIS PATTERN WILL BE RELEASED ON
> FRIDAY, APRIL 24TH AT 9 AM ET IN HONOR OF LOCAL YARN STORE
> DAY**

For my seventh annual **Local Yarn Store Day** design, I'm continuing to celebrate something truly special: the relationship between knitters and the indie shops that inspire them.

Meet the **Treasured Skein Scarfette** - designed for that one perfect skein you couldn't leave behind. 

This elongated, asymmetrical scarfette features bands of vine lace separated by simple stockinette, creating a knitting rhythm that's both engaging and wonderfully relaxing. Gentle increases shape the piece to a shallow center, then taper to narrow ends - giving it that effortlessly stylish, easy-to-wear drape.

It looks intricate. It knits up joyfully. And it lets your yarn be the star.

Much like walking into your favorite local yarn store, the **Treasured Skein Scarfette** is all about inspiration and possibility. Independent yarn shops are more than just a place to shop - they're where we learn, explore, and find our people. The owners pour their hearts into curating yarns and tools they know their community will love.

When you knit this scarfette with a skein from your local shop, you're doing something meaningful: you're bringing that carefully chosen yarn to life, and supporting a small business that makes our knitting world a little brighter.

Every skein has a story. This pattern helps you tell it ... and show off that beautiful yarn instead of keeping it in your stash.

Every now and then, a design comes along that feels like a little love letter in yarn ... and the **Luckiest Socks** are just that.
 
This design came to me on a rare weekend away with my husband - just the two of us, with the kids off on their own adventure. In the quiet, I found myself dreaming up a sock that felt equal parts playful and comforting, much like those moments where you get to reconnect with the people who mean the most.
 
A simple texture created by crossed stitches runs across the front of the leg and top of the foot, creating a rhythm that’s soothing to knit and beautiful to wear.
 
Inspired by the tender lyrics of The Luckiest by Ben Folds, these socks are a reminder of the people who make us feel grounded, cherished, and lucky beyond measure.
 
Worked in cozy DK weight yarn, they knit up quickly ... perfect for a heartfelt gift or a treat just for yourself.
 
So tell me … who in your life makes you feel like you’re the luckiest?

**🧶 YARN:**
DK weight yarn in 1 color.
 
Sample used Bad Sheep Yarn DK (75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon; 245 yards/224 meters per 100 grams), approximately 221 (243, 292) \[328, 363\] yards/202 (223, 267) \[300, 332\] meters

**\*\*Important Gauge Note: \*\***
This sock pattern is designed with a specific round gauge in mind, which is essential for achieving the intended gusset length and overall fit.
 
If your round gauge differs from the stated gauge, the fit of the sock may be affected. You may need to make additional calculations or adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit. For best results, it is strongly recommend knitting and measuring a gauge swatch in the round before beginning.
 
Furthermore, if you have high arches, you may find the fit too snug for comfort. Additional modifications may be needed - or this might not be the sock for you.
 
**🥢 NEEDLES:**
 
• US 3/3.25 mm; one set of needles for your preferred style of small-circumference knitting (or size needed to obtain gauge)

For my sixth annual Local Yarn Store Day design, I am continuing to celebrate the beautiful, mutually beneficial relationship between knitters and their beloved yarn shops.

Enter **Double Win** - a striking mosaic knit shawl that embodies the joy of community, creativity, and connection.

This rectangular shawl with gently flared ends weaves together two contrasting colors, each playing a vital role in creating bold, eye-catching patterns with simple slipped stitches. The result? A cozy, wearable piece that looks intricate but is easy and satisfying to knit.

Much like the bond between knitters and their local yarn stores, Double Win is built on harmony.

Yarn shops offer knitters a space to learn, find inspiration, and connect with others who share their passion. They thoughtfully curate a collection of quality yarns and helpful supplies, selecting each item with their community in mind.

In return, knitters help these shops flourish by expanding their stashes with inspiration for future projects, growing their skills through classes, and participating in the vibrant, creative community that makes each store unique. Their support of these independent small businesses truly makes a difference.

With every stitch of Double Win, you’re not just knitting a shawl … you’re celebrating the heart of your local yarn store.

**Note about Yarn Selections:** 
Double Win is knit using 3 skeins of Light Fingering Weight yarn in 2 contrasting colors, approximately 462 yards per 100 grams per skein. 

The shawl's generous size is easy to adjust by adding or eliminating repeats. Combine solid, speckle, gentle tonal, or long gradient yarns that coordinate but aren't perfectly matched so the mosaic stitches will shine. 

Sharply variegated colorways are not recommended for this design.

and you could sense the affection people had for you.”
― Don Drysdale*

The Seaview Shawl, a loving tribute to my hometown of Brooklyn, New York, evokes cherished memories of my upbringing.

Water has always held a special place in my heart, a source of solace and tranquility that stems from my formative years in this vibrant neighborhood. No matter how far my journey takes me, Brooklyn's spirit will forever reside within me, a place where I learned to dream and craft my own unique path.

This exquisite shawl is a journey in itself, worked from the top down. It begins with a garter tab cast-on, which paves the way for the enchanting textured stitch that unfolds like the waves of my childhood by Seaview Pier, gazing out over the serene bay. The center spine of the shawl features a delicate cable, echoing the gentle ripples and rolling waves that dance along the water's surface.

As you knit your Seaview Shawl, may it carry you back to your own cherished memories, and remind you of the beauty and resilience that shaped you.

Have you ever been inspired by a place so serene that you just had to create something beautiful? The tranquility of Eagle Bend Alpaca Farm and its gentle creatures sparked the idea for a shawlette that captures this magical essence.

Under the vast blue sky of Burlington, Kentucky, nestled among rolling hills, lies the enchanting farm. Known for its gentle alpacas and lush fields of wildflowers, it’s here that the tale of the **Flowers in the Field Shawlette** begins.

Featuring a delicate crescent shape, the shawlette is knit from the bottom up, like flowers blossoming from the earth towards the sky. The bottom edge is adorned with a lace pattern that mimics wildflowers swaying in the breeze. 

Linda and Chris selected the softest blend of alpaca and Cormo wool and hand-dyed a special colorway just for this design.

As I knit, the soft fluffy yarn flowed through my hands, and I envisioned the fields in full bloom, vibrant colors dancing in the sunlight. 

With each stitch, the shawlette grew, curving gracefully like the gentle hills of Eagle Bend.

**Flowers in the Field** is more than just a shawlette; it’s a piece of art, imbued with the farm’s tranquility and charm. The crescent shape symbolizes the endless horizon, a reminder of nature’s boundless beauty.

As I neared completion, I could almost smell the sweet scent of wildflowers and hear the gentle hum of alpacas grazing peacefully. Every stitch captured the spirit of the farm. 

When I finally draped the finished shawlette around my shoulders, I felt wrapped in a warmth that went beyond the soft fibers. It was like carrying a piece of Eagle Bend and its wonderful people with me, no matter where life takes me.

In every delicate stitch and flowing curve of the Flowers in the Field Shawlette, the story of Eagle Bend Alpaca Farm is told—a tale of beauty, inspiration, and the timeless bond between nature and creativity.

With each textured band, your progress becomes tangible—a gentle reminder that every stitch brings you closer to wrapping yourself in the warmth of your finished masterpiece.

The crescent shape of this shawl was selected with intention. It offers not just beauty, but ease. It’s a canvas for uninterrupted knitting, with shaping increases gracefully nestled at the beginning and end of every row.

And here's the magic: the **Trust Fall Shawl** is not just a pattern—it's an invitation to make it your own. With its infinite adaptability, you have the freedom to customize its size and adjust yarn usage to suit your vision. 

Trust in the process, trust in your skills, and let the Trust Fall Shawl guide you on a journey of creative expression.

Imagine living a stone's throw away from the water, where the gentle caress of the waves is a daily gift. I've been fortunate enough to call such a place home, basking in the serenity it brings. The melodic chorus of gulls soaring overhead was the soundtrack of my coastal sanctuary, and hearing those sounds today brings back blissful memories of salty breezes and sandy shores.

Inspired by these cherished moments, I carefully crafted the **Call of the Gulls Hat** to capture the essence of the ocean. I designed this hat as a gateway to the engaging world of brioche knitting, where intricate increases and decreases intertwine to form a tapestry of dazzling texture. 

The brioche stitches elegantly showcased in this pattern remind me of watching the gulls land on the distant sandy shores.

As you cast on, envision the tranquil beauty of a beach at dusk. Each stitch whispers stories of seashells scattered upon the shore and the endless possibilities that lie ahead. The hat grows in your hands as you knit your own love letter to the sea. With each stitch, you draw closer to that serene connection with nature, rediscovering the joy of crafting and the harmony it brings.

**INSPIRATION & DETAILS**:
The Coterie Sweater is inspired by the Coterie Shawl, a pattern I designed in honor of Local Yarn Shop Day 2022.
  
Coterie is a celebration of all the things that I cherish most about Local Yarn Shops. Defined as an intimate group with a unifying common interest or purpose, Coterie conveys what I personally found at my LYS.
  
These yarn shops are amazing places that foster our community of fiber enthusiasts and are the lifeblood of our craft. They need support from their community during these difficult times.
  
The Coterie Sweater is knit seamlessly, and worked from the top down, beginning with a twisted rib neckline. The round yoke features an elegant lace panel to add delicate and feminine detail to your sweater.
  
The stockinette body leads to an easy-to-customize split hem with twisted ribbing. I added extra length to the ribbing at the back of my sweater so I could confidently wear it with my favorite leggings!
  
As you gently shape the sleeves, you’ll add extra decreases to create a gentle puff at the wrist before knitting the twisted rib cuff.
  
The lace stitches are both fully written and the repeat is charted, so you can use the type of instructions you are most comfortable with.
  
**SIZES:** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9)

Sizes are designed to fit with approximately 2 - 4” / 5 - 10 cm of positive ease at the fullest part of your bust.

Worsted weight yarn in 1 color.

The **A Taste of Brioche Cowl** is a design dreamed up as I built my workshop of the same name. One of my favorite things is teaching knitters to master the skills and techniques they’ve been intimidated by in the past.

I set out with the goal to design a project that would provide the hands-on experience with the technique itself without needing to learn a new cast-on method or how to increase or decrease in brioche stitch.

The workshop includes more complex brioche knitting techniques to make it a more comprehensive introduction to Brioche Knitting, but the most important first step … before tackling those … is to be really comfortable with brioche stitches themselves.

Working with beautiful Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok Worsted yarn, the cowl knits up quickly in tonal but sharply contrasting colors to help make it easy to identify the construction of the stitches and what needs to happen next in each round.

Inspired by Cecelia Campochiaro’s book [Sequence Knitting][1], I was fascinated to learn what a beautiful difference just 1 stitch can make. 

The design begins with knitting an uncommon ribbing sequence and is offset by just 1 stitch to create the swirling texture showcased in the body of the hat. 

Here's the best part: No fancy stitches are needed ... just your trusty knits & purls, and some simple shaping for the crown of the hat.

Step into the heartwarming world of Eagle Bend Alpaca Farm with the All Breeds Cowl – a mosaic knit cowl that draws inspiration from the idyllic landscape and the captivating creatures living in perfect synchrony in Burlington, Kentucky. This unique cowl design is a loving tribute to 40 show-quality alpacas and award-winning Cormo sheep that roam 52 acres of peak Bluegrass beauty, where rolling hills meet pastoral landscapes, and friendships flourish.
  
To create this exquisite cowl, we have handpicked the finest materials for you. The softness and warmth of this accessory are unrivaled, thanks to the un-dyed 100% Alpaca yarn sourced from their beloved alpaca named Hootie, and the 100% Cormo wool harvested from their cherished herd of sheep. This natural blend combines the beautiful texture and lustrous qualities of Cormo wool with the softness of alpaca yarn.
  
I designed this cowl as a skill-building pattern for the confident advanced beginner looking to expand their skills, or an interesting project for an intermediate knitter. The geometric sheep design is created with mosaic knitting — a way to create a colorwork pattern while holding only one yarn at a time. Working in stockinette stitch in the round, you’ll only need to knit & slip stitches.
  
The mosaic stitch pattern reflects the harmonious existence of the alpacas and sheep, their unique fibers intricately woven together, just like the bond they share at Eagle Bend Farm. The All Breeds Cowl is more than just an accessory; it's a tangible connection to the heart and soul of a remarkable farm and its inhabitants. Wrap yourself in the embrace of the alpaca's softness and the Cormo sheep's woolly warmth. As you knit this cowl, cherish the harmony that nature so effortlessly weaves into our lives.
  
For those fortunate enough to visit Eagle Bend Alpaca Farm, a magical encounter awaits! Visitors are welcomed by friendly owners, dedicated staff, and passionate volunteers, all of whom share an unyielding love for these gentle creatures. Experience the joy of hand-feeding the alpacas and sheep, forming cherished memories that will forever remain etched in your heart.
