Flash Pattern Friday – Prism Peaks

Happy Friday, fellow crafters! Today’s Flash pattern is one of my favorite pieces I have ever designed – Prism Peaks. This pattern is more than just a sweater—it’s a celebration of geometry, color, and smart construction. Now, through Monday, May 26th, you can get the Prism Peaks pattern for free on Ravelry. Use code FLASH at checkout, 

True to its name, Prism Peaks draws visual inspiration from sharp, angular forms – peaks and prisms that create movement and dimension across the garment. The star of the show is a striking chevron motif that radiates from the yoke, forming crisp peaks that feel both architectural and organic.

With Uni Merino‘s wide range of colors, this sweater can easily be adapted for high contrast or soft transitions, making it endlessly customizable and suited to a wide range of personal styles.

Get ready to cast on your own version of Prism Peaks with 20% off Uni Merino through Monday, May 26th.

Free Pattern Friday – Brick by Brick Cowl

More like Free Pattern Fri-YAY! This week’s offering is the Brick by Brick Cowl by Patty Olson. Are you ready to add this cute staple into your wardrobe? It is sure to get a compliment wherever you go, no matter how you wear it!

This cowl is a quick knit, making it an ideal gift for fashion-conscious friends or our plan-ahead Christmas gift makers. With slipped stitch details, it’s easier than it looks, so everyone will think you worked really hard on it, too!

We chose summery colors here, but with our wide variety of colors in Deluxe Worsted Superwash, you can combine any two to make it worthy of any season! You could even make a combination to support your favorite sports team, or your local high school.

Personally, I love a striking combo with a color pop, so I would pick 743 Bashful Pink as the stockinette background and use 735 Ebony as the slipped stitched and garter detail.

Since the yarn is washable, you don’t have to worry if you get something on it; just stick it in the washing machine and it’ll be back to perfect condition.


This weekend only, Deluxe Worsted Superwash is on sale 20% off, and it only takes one skein of each color to create your very own Brick by Brick Cowl!

Enjoy every stitch ♥

April’s Spotlight Friday – Beechnut Pullover

Happy Friday, crafters! Today’s spotlight features the Beechnut Pullover, designed by Amy Gunderson.

As the seasons shift, the Beechnut Pullover emerges as a quintessential piece for your transitional wardrobe. This elegant sweater captures the essence of beech trees, featuring intricate lace panels along the sleeves that mirror the delicate beauty of leaves.

What sets the Beechnut Pullover apart is its innovative construction. The journey begins with knitting the lace sleeve panels, allowing you to immerse yourself in the detailed leaf motifs. Once completed, stitches for the body and sleeves are picked up along the panel edges, and the garment is worked from the top down. 

Originally crafted using Papyrus, the pattern has been updated to feature Wool Pop. This DK-weight yarn, composed of 50% bamboo, 35% superwash wool, and 15% polyamide, offers a soft drape and subtle sheen, enhancing the pullover’s refined appearance.

Take advantage of a 20% discount on Wool Pop through Sunday, April 20th, and stock up on your favorite color of this delightful yarn.

Collection Spotlight: Petit Chou

Delicate, charming, and endlessly wearable, the Petit Chou Mini Shawl Collection is a sweet celebration of effortless style. Featuring soft, lightweight designs knit in Fonty’s cozy yet refined yarns, these mini shawls are perfect for adding a pop of color to any outfit.

Hello! Alex here! I’m thrilled to debut my first-ever designs for Universal in this collection! First, meet Cherie (above), a narrow scarf knit in luxurious Moustache, an oh-so-soft blend of merino, mohair, and silk. The yarn lends a floaty, ethereal quality to this piece, while the diagonal ridge stitch adds depth and texture. My favorite detail is Cherie’s distinctive pointed ends, designed to resemble the feather fletching on an arrow.

Delfine (above left) is the epitome of elegance, with its graceful, elongated-crescent silhouette, edged in romantic lace. Cloud-like Ombelle bathes the shawlette in a halo of delicate fluff, enhancing the softness and sophistication of the piece. With 60 stunning shades to choose from, you can make a Delphine shawlette to complement any piece in your wardrobe.

Add a burst of color and style to your neckline with the beginner-friendly Solange mini shawl (above right). This chic little number features eyelet stripes spanning a stockinette background, neatly framed with a garter border and knit up in soft and sleek Soyeuse yarn. Cute and casual, Solange is the cherry on top of any ensemble!

Hiya, this is Afifa! My contributions to this collection start with Cielle – a mini kerchief knit with cozy and luxurious Mongolia 5. Cielle is soft, light, and just the right size to toss on for that effortlessly chic “I just threw this on” vibe. Whether you’re taming flyaways, jazzing up a simple outfit, or need a neck warmer for chilly mornings, this cutie’s got your back (or neck or head!). Plus, knitting it up is quick and satisfying—like a little treat for your needles.

Meet Daphne (above left)- as delightful to knit as it is to wear! Crafted with Tartan 3, a 100% superwash fine wool yarn, Daphne offers a soft, cozy feel with a touch of elegance. This charming accessory features an engaging lace pattern that adds a hint of sophistication to any outfit. Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or adding a stylish layer to your everyday look, Daphne is the perfect companion. Plus, with Tartan 3’s slightly mottled, tone-on-tone colors, you can choose the perfect shade to match your style.

Knit with Aubusson, Violette (above right) offers unparalleled softness and warmth. Available in a wide range of colors, Aubusson allows you to personalize Violette to match your style perfectly. This plump yarn is a joy to knit with and super quick to boot.

Reine marks our first design collaboration. Our love of texture and lace allowed us to use this opportunity to combine our collective passions with our individual styles to create something truly unique. The merino and yak strands of Mongolia 3 bring beautiful stitch definition to this piece, while mini tassels add a touch of whimsy.

We hope you enjoy this little labor of love as much as we do!
