Today’s Free Pattern Friday brings you the Cable Cove Balaclava, a cozy hood that blends rustic charm with modern flair. When winter winds begin to blow, there’s nothing better than wrapping up in something warm, soft, and handmade. Whether you’re walking your dog through snow-dusted trails or grabbing coffee on a chilly day, this essential knit has you stylishly covered.
Designed with thoughtful details, the Cable Cove Balaclava features elegant cables that frame the face and run along the neckline for a beautifully structured look. The texture adds both visual interest and extra warmth, while the shaping ensures a snug yet comfortable fit.
Crafted with Dallas, this balaclava gets a delightful pop of color from flecks of tweed, adding depth and personality to your winter wardrobe. Part of our Fall 2025 collection, Dallas is composed of 24% recycled cotton, 48% merino wool, 10% recycled polyester, and 18% polyamide. This yarn helps reduce environmental impact without compromising quality – perfect for conscious crafters and eco-minded gift giving with a satisfying, quick-to-knit bulky weight to boot! I’m getting ready to cast on another one of these cozy puppies in 104 Cowgirl. Which color will you choose?

The Power Play collection is all about contrast — strength and softness, structure and drape, everyday staples and eye-catching details. Designed with a modern, wearable edge, each piece showcases the unique characteristics of the featured yarns, blending unexpected fibers like silk and linen with laid-back silhouettes and contemporary stitchwork.
Let’s take a closer look at each pattern in the collection:
Like its name suggests, Effervescence is bubbly and breezy — a sideways knit tee with a subtle eyelet motif, topped with a puff sleeve shrug that feels effortlessly feminine. This set is knit in our favorite warm weather yarns, Sandcastle and Dunescape.
Ethereal lives up to its name. This wrap is feather-light. The minimalist stitch patterns let the yarn shine, especially in Rico Design’s Make it Tweed, which practically floats off the needles, paired with Rico Design’s Super Cotton DK to keep it grounded.
Magnetic is an oversized polo with bold energy — a piece that pulls you in with its texture. The slouchy sleeves and drop shoulder construction create a relaxed silhouette that’s all about impact. It’s cozy yet breathable, thanks to the combination of Fibra Natura Flax and Rico Design Essentials Super Kid Mohair Loves Silk Glamorous Glitter, and it brings instant cool to anything from jeans to slip skirts.
Wonder and Whimsy take accessorizing to a daring new level. This two-piece set offers maximum versatility and charm. The shawl features drop stitches framed by bold textured chains, while the kerchief adds a layer of casual cool with its mosaic colorwork. Wear them together for a coordinated moment, or mix and match with your wardrobe. Rico Design Luxury Natural Silk Blend adds a lux touch while the bright colors of Fonty Soyeuse give a beachy vibe to both pieces.
Each design in the Power Play collection offers something special — whether it’s a hint of sparkle, a pop of color, or a perfectly placed puff sleeve. Unified by their thoughtful construction and playful edge, these knits are modern wardrobe builders designed to celebrate the duality in all of us: soft yet strong.

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.
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!

Hello and Happy Holidays, crafters! We hope you’ve enjoyed some quality time with your family or friends this holiday season, and also had time for your favorite fiber arts!
This week, our Free Pattern Friday release is the Frosted Leaves Wrap, designed by Andi Javori. Knit using Wool Pop, this lacy wrap will be a beautiful addition to any winter ensemble! Keep reading below to learn more about this stunning pattern.
The Frosted Leaves wrap is knit flat from the bottom up and features a lace stitch pattern worked on the main body of the piece. If you’re not an expert with lace, don’t fret! This pattern is a 13-stitch repeat that is fairly easy to memorize and uses only basic increases and decreases. The resulting pattern is reminiscent of pretty snow covered leaves, hence the name!
Our Wool Pop yarn was chosen for this project, thanks to its graceful drape and sheen. This DK-weight blend of bamboo, wool, and polyamide looks gorgeous in lace and other textured stitch patterns. Thanks to Wool Pop’s fiber blend, it’s suitable to wear year-round!
Designer Andi Javori chose the color 619 Blue Whisper for this project sample, which I think is a perfect icy winter blue. Which color would you choose to knit the Frosted Leaves Wrap in? I think I’d choose 627 Empress, because I love wearing purple.
We hope you enjoy knitting the new free Frosted Leaves Wrap! Don’t forget that Wool Pop is 20% off this weekend only to coincide with this pattern release, so you can grab the yarn you need at a discount!
Happy Free Pattern Friday! The holiday season is upon us, and as the weather cools down, we know you’re thinking of what cozy accessory to knit next. Our free pattern this week is just the treat for you!
The Coffee Shop Set is new this week, and was designed by me! This is a cabled hat and scarf set knit using our soft and delightful Colorburst yarn. Keep reading to learn more about this freebie!
Cables stand out against the self-shading hues of Colorburst, creating a three-dimensional texture that is a joy to knit and wear. The cabled stitch pattern has an easy-to-memorize repeat, so knitters of a variety of skill levels are sure to enjoy creating this set! The Coffee Shop Set Scarf is long enough to double around your neck on cold days, or wear it my favorite way: in a keyhole style! A matching hat with a fluffy pom pom on top completes the look, and after that, you’re ready for winter weekend fun.
Our Colorburst yarn is a single-ply blend of 65% superwash fine merino and 35% acrylic. The wool gives this DK-weight yarn a springy feel, with the added benefits of soft, machine-washable acrylic. Each colorway of Colorburst offers a medley of hues that gently shade from one to the next.
I adore Colorburst for all types of knit and crochet projects, but it looks especially beautiful in stand-out garments and accessories. Pair it with a solid color of Deluxe DK Superwash for even more possibilities!
The Coffee Shop set would be a perfect pattern to bring along to your holiday gatherings. Just one skein of Colorburst is needed, so it’s travel-friendly! Tell us in the comments which color you’d use to create yours.
Colorburst is 20% off this weekend on our website, so shop now and create your Coffee Shop Set in no time!
