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.Knit in Spun Cloud and Wild Flower Minis
Chunky cables climb a trellis of airy, eyelet lace in this unique pullover design, combining bold structure with effortless drape. The all-over, repeating pattern is easy to memorize and works up quickly, making it as fun to stitch as it is to wear. Drop-shoulder construction gives it an easy, relaxed fit. Choose sleeves or go sleeveless, add optional crochet or i-cord edgings, and finish with optional embellishments to transform this versatile design into a one-of-a kind statement sweater!
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 4 ~ Livin Tee by Sue Hislop and Amy Small
Knit in Spun Cloud Light
And... The KAL Greatest Hits Bonus Design Winners!!
Option 1 ~ Rodeo Vest by Amy Small
Knit in 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 2 ~ Awesome Blossom Cardi by Amy Small and Sue Hislop
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!!
Option 3 ~ Walking on Sunshine Sweater by Cheryl Kubat
Knit in Daisy Chain
A fan favorite from our fall '24 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 4 ~ Willow Wrap by Laurel Gervitz
Knit in Spun Cloud Light
The Willow Wrap is a colorful, textured piece to keep you warm and in style all winter long. It is worked entirely in a feather and fan lace pattern, changing colors/yarns, and creating wavy stripes. For the wrap, the cuffs are added on after the length is worked in order to achieve the best fit. There are various options for this design, as well as different ways it can be worn, making it customisable. This is a wonderful pattern for all levels of knitters, and a perfect piece for beginner lace knitters to shine. In this pattern, you'll use a mix of our Spun Cloud Light and Serenity yarns.
That's all the winners! I hope you're as excited about them as I am!! Next week I'll share more about how our KALs work in a three part video series so stay tuned for that. To be the first to know about the KAL, sign up for updates here. If your favorite design didn't make it, not to fret, it will be released sometime this year!
Thank you ~ Amy
