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!

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.

Flash Pattern Friday – Illuvia Shawl

Hi Crafters! As you gear up for the start of the spring season, we’re releasing one of my designs free this weekend only which will be a great outfit topper for transitional weather. It was also the first pattern I ever designed for Universal Yarn!

The Illuvia Shawl is a sampler-style shawl knit using Universal Yarn Wool Pop and Rico Design Creative Lazy Hazy Summer Cotton. I originally designed this shawl in 2019 as part of our Dona Color Kits, but we reimagined it with new yarns and a new vibrant colorway in 2023. I absolutely adore this new version!

The Illuvia Shawl is inspired by the way water falls on various surfaces. From rain showers to gentle melting snowfall, I wanted this shawl to feel soothing and therapeutic to knit, changing from one section to the next. Knitting is already relaxing, and working on a project while curled up on the couch on a rainy day is even better!

Knitting the Illuvia Shawl allows you to try out a selection of textured stitch patterns in different colors. You’ll get to work with slip stitches, twisted stitches, and many knits and purls throughout this project. This shawl is a great pattern choice for beginner knitters looking to grow their skillset, or experienced crafters who enjoy sampler-style projects.

Our Wool Pop yarn is a soft and springy DK weight blend of superwash wool, bamboo, and polyamide. It has excellent stitch definition and a subtle sheen that looks gorgeous in textured stitch patterns. This yarn is a great choice for three-season wear, thanks to the blend of fibers. Rico Design Lazy Hazy Summer Cotton provides pops of color and texture to some of the details in this accessory, and has become a fast-favorite yarn of our own design team.

Now through Sunday, March 2, you can enjoy both of these beautiful yarns at 20% off!

I hope you enjoy knitting the Illuvia Shawl, and please share your projects with me on Ravelry!

Happy Crafting,

Aubrey
