Option 1 ~ Eventide Shawl by Ksenia Naidyon

Knit in Serenity boucle and Mixtape yarn

In this feather and fan shawl design, soft, undulating stitch patterns echo the movement of water. Alternating the solid, soft boucle yarn with pops of the bolder, vibrant Mixtape adds visual interest and makes for an exciting, one-more-row kind of knit.

Option 2 ~ With the Band Sweater by Jen Geigley
Knit using Spun Cloud

This simple, modern pullover with bold color-blocked stripes is sure to be an everyday, wearable favorite in your wardrobe. It's worked seamlessly from the top down in a classic raglan construction. The pattern includes options of both a crew neck or mock turtleneck collar.

Option 3 ~ KaleidoWave Sweater by Sue Hislop and Amy Small

Knit in Mixtape yarn

The simple boxy construction of this drop shoulder, boat neck design allows the funky feather and fan lace stitch pattern to be the star of the show. Two colors of Mixtape yarn alternate throughout for maximum color play, but it would also look amazing in just one colorway of Mixtape.

Option 4 ~ Rodeo Vest by Amy Small
Knit using Spun Cloud, Wildflower Mini Skein Kit and Mini Skein Sampler Kit

This simple, top-down sweater vest is perfect for layering over your favorite dress or jeans! The pattern includes options for both a statement shawl collar or simple button band. Go for the mixed yarn option if your creativity is calling you to play with yarns and colors. Go for the solid version for maximum wearability in your daily wardrobe.

Option 5 ~ Awesome Blossom Cardi by Amy Small
Knit using Serenity Boucle and Mixtape

This is a retro grandpa-style cardigan with modern flair. It features colorful striped sleeve details, i-cord ties and a statement intarsia flower on the back. Plus, it has pockets!! Go with Serenity for your main color for a more understated look or use Mixtape for a reversed, ultimate-statement piece version.

Option 6 ~ Roadtrip Sweater by Amy Small

Knit and Crochet in Spun Cloud and Wildflower

The Roadtrip Sweater pattern is a unique and pretty design that combines simple crochet and knitting for the ultimate patchwork design. The fit is boxy, cozy with drop shoulders. Scalloped crochet adorns the neckline and bottom edges for a pretty yet sturdy finish. Have fun striping in contrast colors and yarns on the sleeves and crochet edging as desired!

Option 7 ~ Walking on Sunshine Sweater by Cheryl Kubat

Knit in Daisy Chain

A fan favorite from our fall knitalong, The Walking on Sunshine Sweater is a cropped raglan sweater with stylish statement bell sleeves. This sweater is all about the yarn—those happy daisies poking through the fabric will make you feel just like you're walking on sunshine. The top down construction makes it super easy to customize fit.

Option 8 ~ The Harley Sweater by Julie Robinson

Knit in Spun Cloud, Cast Away, Daisy Chain, Wildflower

The Harley Sweater is an entrelac sweater knit with 5 of our unique, handspun yarns. It is worked bottom up, both in the round and flat. The entrelac stitch looks trickier than it actually is!

Then, plant some fringe along the bottom of the shawl, and you’ll have a wearable garden accessory! The hybrid design users both beginner knitting and crochet techniques so it's a great design for knitters who would like to learn to crochet or vice versa!

Option 13 ~ Corrine Cardi by Vanessa Reyes

The Corrine Crochet Cardi is our final repeat style from spring's past make-along. It takes the concept of wearing your favorite heirloom blanket from the couch to the outside world. This vintage, patchwork-inspired cardi brings the art of crochet and knitting together. A fun piece for new crocheters or knitters alike to get started in the fiber world, yet also fun enough for seasoned makers to create a piece they will cherish.

Option 14 ~ Cozy Cabin Pillow by Laurel Gervitz

Knit in Spun Cloud, Daisy Chain and Mixed Minis

Inspired by the traditional log cabin quilting technique, the Cozy Cabin Pillow has a modular construction, created by building blocks of knitted fabric off of previous blocks. The front of the pillow is worked from the center out in this log cabin design, while the back of the pillow is smooth stockinette with stripes. The varied textures of each unique yarn shine in this color-blocked design.
