Free Pattern Friday – Aoyagi

Some projects seem to capture a season in stitches, and the Aoyagi Shawl, designed by Tori Gurbisz, is one of them. Light, airy, and full of movement, this crescent-shaped shawl combines effortless wearability with eye-catching color.

Worked in beautifully drapey Bella Tweed and textured Tango, the Aoyagi Shawl showcases shifting hues that dance across the shawl’s generous wingspan. Delicate texture adds visual interest without overwhelming the fabric, while the contrasting striped border frames the design with a playful pop of color.

Whether you’re drawn to bold color combinations or prefer softer, tonal palettes, the Aoyagi Shawl offers the perfect canvas for showcasing both Bella Tweed and Tango. Pick your favorite color of each and cast on this masterpiece with 20% off on both yarns, all weekend long.

Happy Crafting,

Free Pattern Friday – Belladonna Tee

June is upon us, and that means breezy knits, lightweight yarns, and packable projects to bring along on your next beach day, roadtrip, or overseas adventure. Enter the Belladonna Tee, your latest summer obsession and this week’s Free Pattern Friday!

There’s so much to love about the Belladonna Tee, designed by Afifa Sayeed in our popular Wool Pop yarn. With its on-trend boxy silhouette and airy lace fabric, all in a luscious shade of Sage green, this pattern checks every box for a relaxed knit that will keep you comfortable and stylish on the warm days ahead. An easy-to-memorize pattern makes this top a project you’ll want to work on (and then wear!) anywhere and everywhere.

Wool Pop expertly balances structure and drape for elegant knits that stand the test of time. Its heathered appearance and gentle sheen add depth and beauty to any project, while its bamboo, superwash wool, and polyamide content makes for soft, smooth pieces that transition effortlessly from one season to the next.

Wool Pop is 20% off through Sunday, June 7. I’ve got my skeins wound and ready to cast on a Belladonna Tee of my own. Who’s going to join me?

Happy knitting!
