One Skein Wonderland – 2026 Kit Collection

Welcome to One Skein Wonderland, where warmth, beauty, and holiday magic abound! This collection of kits features six gorgeous single-skein accessories, designed by Afifa Sayeed and Alexandra Frankel, proving that sometimes the smallest projects pack the biggest punch.

Cold Snap pairs crisp diagonal ribbing with the cloud-soft luxury of Rico Design Madly in Love Luxury Baby Alpaca & Merino Chunky for a polished cowl that drapes beautifully and feels every bit as cozy as it looks.

Softly structured and endlessly charming, the Ice Crystal bonnet brings storybook romance to your cold-weather wardrobe. Knit in airy, haloed Fonty Ombelle, it drapes delicately while framing the face in cozy warmth.

Ward off winter’s chill with the Lake Effect hat. A fresh take on the classic watch cap, Lake Effect boasts wide ribbing, bold cables, and a deep folded brim, all sprinkled with colorful flecks from our snuggly Dallas yarn.

Fall into dreamy decadence with the gentle scallops and watercolor hues of the whisper-soft Snowbound scarf. Knit in Rico Design Alpaca Superfine Heavens Big Cloud, Snowbound balances featherlight comfort with toasty plushness. 

A study in texture, the Squall mittens turn everyday layering into something special. Knit in soft, resilient Deluxe Worsted Superwash, the all-over twisted stitch pattern creates rich dimension with a timeless, hand-crafted feel.

Beauty and function go hand in hand in the elegant Winterberry mitts. Knit in heathered Fonty Tartan 3 and adorned with tiny bobbles and twists, these fashionable fingerless mitts can be dressed up or down, adding a touch of sophistication to any winter ensemble.

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,

Collection Spotlight: Petit Chou

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!

Alex and Afifa
