We’re delighted to introduce our latest collection of independent designs. This season’s designers played with color in stripes, stranded colorwork, gradients, brioche, mosaic, and more. And they also let texture play a role, mixing different yarns, playing with cables and lace and more subtle textures.
You can view all the patterns on Ravelry as well as in our Project Gallery.
Sedate ribbing in the center of this snuggly rectangular shawl explodes on either end into zigzagging stripes of colorful lace.
Our sample was knit in the Comic Opera Gradient Set with two skeins of Zuniga Yummy 2-Ply. The pattern is available on Ravelry.

Frostblossom Cowl by Helen Cosgrove-Davies
The shapes water naturally freezes in as it meets a windowpane or pushes up through clay are both beautiful and fascinating: spiky edges combine into gorgeous swirling patterns. Frostblossom is the perfect cowl for keeping you warm while admiring the beauty winter has to offer!
Our sample was knit in Cordovan Yummy 2-Ply with Toes in Alcor, Fogbound, and White Peppercorn. The Frostblossom Cowl pattern is available on Ravelry and Payhip.
Gossamer by Susanna IC
Gossamer is a generously-sized triangular wrap worked with two contrasting weight yarns that alternate between sheer and solid stripes. The thicker yarn gives the wrap beautiful drape while the lace weight yarn gives it overall structure and gossamer transparency.
Gossamer is knit in a Yowza Mini Trio in Sparkling Stream, Tranquil Waters, and Wide River with two skeins of Forever Moonglow - we have Gossamer Shawl Sets available for this project. The pattern is available on Ravelry.

Murmuration by Elizabeth Beach
Elizabeth's goal in this triangular shawl design is to translate the fascinating flight pattern and flow of a murmuration of birds from the dense core to the sparser fringes of a flock in motion.

Sea Fan Scarf by Veronica Ory
This two-color brioche scarf uses a careful arrangement of increases and decreases on just one pattern row to make a bold organic design. A picot cast-on and bind-off give the scalloped ends a little extra flair.
Sea Fan Scarf is knit in Yet, shown here in Mix Tape 2.0 and Eternity. The pattern is available on Ravelry and Payhip.
Stained Glass Cowl by Helen Cosgrove-Davies
With this cowl, Helen wanted to celebrate the joy of a vibrant variegated skein by contrasting it against a deep black. The fine lines of black remind me of the intricate tracings in many stained-glass windows.
Stained Glass Cowl is knit in Yummy 2-Ply, shown here in Blackbird and Sunrise Swim. The pattern is available on Ravelry and Payhip.
Teranika by Kirsten-Michele Kukulski
Teranika is a top-down seamless yoke sweater with a deep colorwork chart that uses a series of complementary and contiguous colors worked in a lively contemporary Fair Isle motif.
