Free Pattern Friday – Jay Sweater Reimagined

Taking an old favorite and giving it a vibrant new twist, the Jay Sweater Reimagined by Rachel Brockman is back, brighter and bolder than ever!

With striking hues and irresistibly plush strands, this updated design is as joyful to knit as it is to wear. Perfect for adventurous makers ready to grow their colorwork confidence, the Jay Sweater Reimagined blends straightforward construction with eye-catching impact.

Named for the brilliant forest-dwelling jays, this yoked pullover offers a subtle nod to the layered beauty of their plumage. Drawing from their spirit and curiosity, this sweater brings a playful pop of energy to your everyday wardrobe.

We’ve paired the pattern with Fonty Mongolia 3, a luxuriously soft mix of merino fleece and yak down. Its delicate, mottled texture and ultra-warm, buttery feel create the ideal canvas for a fearless color remix. The result? A seriously inspiring knit that feels just as incredible as it looks.

Psssst! Enjoy 15% off Mongolia 3 through Sunday, March 8th, the best excuse to cast on!

With yarn-filled love,

Free Pattern Friday – Snuggle Blankie

It’s also on sale 20% off through Sunday, February 22nd, so snag enough for your new Snuggle Blankie today – and maybe one for a friend, too!
