Winter is coming; is your stash ready? If it’s not (I mean is it really ever?), then we have some great news for you! Delicious, new yummy winter yarns are here to make life that much better. Rich neutral tweeds, bulky Superwash Merino, and ultra-luxurious handpainted Cashmere fibers are just a click away!
This week’s free 12 Weeks of Gifting pattern is a fun + playful project features a brilliant checkerboard of bright colors! The Dotty Cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up. It begins and ends with a reverse stockinette band, knit from the wrong side (no purling on the bands). The Dotty Stitch Pattern is a simple slip-stitch pattern which is enhanced by the effortless color transitions of Chroma Worsted. Only one color is used per round, making this a very relaxing knit. There is enough yardage with Chroma Worsted for two cowls; one for you and one for a friend.

Yesterday in the US was Thanksgiving and if you were like many folks, I bet you had a lot of dishes to wash. If you are in need of a quick project to replenish your supply of dishcloths, we have the perfect project for you. Check out the free Tucked Rib Dishcloth pattern.
We’re over halfway through our 12 Weeks of Gifting series, and from here on out the patterns will be requiring less and less time to complete (in theory). As a person who is constantly striving to contain every aspect of her life in an organized fashion, I find that I can never have enough baskets, bowls, boxes, etc. This quaint trio of coordinating bowls makes the perfect storage solution for the many bibs & bobs we crafters tend to collect!
The Felted Bowls are knit in our beloved Wool of the Andes yarns (which offers 100 different colors to choose from), many variations of these felted bowls can be made. There are three sizes, all of which …
Mitered squares are one of my favorite things to knit – whether it’s the amazing Hue Shift Afghan or a simple dishcloth, I find each square immensely satisfying. However I’ve never tried it with crochet. The new free Tunisian Purl Stitch Dishcloth pattern seems to me a great way to get started.
It was a year ago this month that Knit Picks marked a momentous milestone: attending our first ever show. Since that first experience at Vogue Knitting Seattle, we’ve seen a lot of interesting places, made a lot of dumb mistakes, and met so many fabulous Knit Picks fans.

Sound the alarm! Our Fall Felici colors are FINALLY here and they are SO SO GOOD. Instead of 12 new colors, we switched things up a bit and created 5 fun new colorways and brought back 7 of our best selling varieties from years past. You know the drill; these are limited edition and will be flying out of here, so hurry and see all the self-striping amazing-ness while you can!

It’s week 6 in our 12 Weeks of Gifting series and this week we’re swooning over the subtly shifting colors of the Brindle & Blend Shawl. Knit from end to end on the bias in tried-and-true Hawthorne Multi yarns, the pattern includes two different bind off options. This shawl incorporates subtle blending of brindled stripes along its length, creating a wide and colorful shawl. With the majority of the shawl being comprised of simple garter stitch, this is the perfect project for curling up with on a relaxing crafternoon!
Come back next week for our 7th free pattern in …
