Flash Pattern Friday – Exandria

January is winding down, but before we flip to the next page on our calendar, we want to share a special treat with you! Enjoy the stunning Exandria shawl, designed by Ashley Jane McIntyre, for free this weekend only! 

Colorwork tiles sashay across the shawl in a rhythmic quartet of alternating colors, creating a piece as fluid and graceful as a choreographed dance. Perfect for keeping cozy in winter or dressing up in the spring months to come, Exandria is an exquisite transitional accessory, beautifully crocheted in lightweight-yet-warm Uni Merino.

This pattern is cleverly written using both Uni Merino 100g skeins and Uni Merino Mini 25g skeins to achieve the yardage needed to complete the project. And to make things even sweeter, both yarns in our Uni Merino family are 20% off through Sunday, February 1! With a palette of over 50 shades from neutrals to neons and everything in between, the color possibilities are virtually endless! 

To get your copy of Exandria for free, use code “FLASH” on Ravelry through Sunday, February 1st.

Happy crocheting!

Free Pattern Friday – Thistledown Hat

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another free pattern! Today’s featured design is the Thistledown Hat by Afifa Sayeed, created with the cold season in mind and knit in Maman. This charming hat, designed for baby to teen sizes, features a playful arrow stitch pattern. Cozy, stylish, and practical, it’s a delightful project that brings texture and warmth together beautifully.

The Thistledown Hat is a staple for winter days, great for everything from playground trips to heading off to school or enjoying snowy afternoons.

Best of all, this project offers a wide range of colors, making it easy to customize your Thistledown Hat.

Maman is an ultra-soft, plush yarn ideal for baby items and cozy accessories such as hats, scarves, and blankets. Gentle on delicate skin yet wonderfully warm, it’s a joy to knit and wear.

Free Pattern Friday – Wobble the Axolotl

Happy Friday! Today’s free offering is this cute little critter – Wobble the Axolotl! Our talented Afifa Sayeed designed this with snuggles in mind, and you’re never too old to hug a stuffed animal. Made with Bella Chenille, you can’t go wrong making this sweet cuddle bug, whether it’s for you or your little one.

Axolotls are typically the baby pink color showcased here, but did you know they can be blue, brown, grey, orange, or even green? With our large color palette in Bella Chenille, you can make your axolotl any color you choose.

Bella Chenille is a super bulky weight yarn, which means this project will go lightning fast! Maybe you could even make a group – also known as a maelstrom – of axolotls! That’s a lotta axolotls! Wobble the Axolotl also has a detachable seaweed scarf made in a contrasting color for a fashion statement all its own.

This weekend, Bella Chenille is 20% off through Sunday, January 18th, so you’ll want to stock up on all your favorite colors so you can make as many Wobbles as possible.

Inspired by the playful charm of Valentine’s confections and stitched in ultra–soft Bella Chenille, this trio of patterns designed by Afifa Sayeed brings love to life in every bobble and curve.

Designed for cuddle breaks, nap time, or simply brightening up your favorite corner, the Lovebug cushion cover is a soft reminder to make room for comfort in your space. Its bold heart motif adds a playful pop to any sofa or bed, while the chenille texture gives off instant cozy vibes.

Crafted with tiny wearers in mind but guaranteed to steal grown–up hearts, the Me and You cardigan is a smaller–scale expression of big affection. The bobble heart brings instant joy, making it a perfect gift knit or a keepsake passed lovingly down the line.

Bella Chenille‘s plush texture turns each piece into a wearable (or huggable!) note of affection. It’s the kind of yarn that begs to be squeezed, and in this collection, we’ve paired its cloud–soft feel with sculptural heart motifs to make pieces that don’t just keep you warm, they warm your heart, too. Whether you choose a favorite pattern or purchase the entire ebook, be sure to take advantage of 20% off this squishable yarn, now through Sunday 1/18/26.
