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 – Catawba River Poncho in Deluxe Bulky Superwash

Happy Free Pattern Friday, crafters! The Catawba River Poncho, designed by Amy Gunderson, with its richly textured cables and relaxed silhouette, has always been a standout design. Now, it’s been reimagined in Deluxe Bulky Superwash, bringing new life and new possibilities to this beloved piece.

This poncho’s generous shape drapes comfortably, while the turtleneck adds extra warmth without being restrictive. Paired with jeans and flats for a casual day out, or layered over a dress for a polished look, the Catawba River Poncho is as versatile as it is stylish. 

Whether you’re revisiting the design or discovering it for the first time, knitting the Catawba River Poncho in Deluxe Bulky Superwash gives you a project that’s equal parts relaxing and rewarding. Shown in 918 Dusty Blue, the updated yarn choice makes it modern, practical, and ready for a place in your fall wardrobe.

Why Deluxe Bulky Superwash? This yarn is everything you want for a project like the Catawba River Poncho. With its soft hand, excellent stitch definition, and easy-care superwash finish, it highlights the cables beautifully while keeping the poncho light, lofty, and wearable. The bulky gauge also means your stitches fly off the needles, so you’ll be wrapped in cozy style in no time. This weekend only, get 20% off this squishy base. I myself am eyeing 939 Burgundy. How about you?

Happy Crafting,

Free Pattern Friday – Mix and Match Hats

Happy Friday! This week we have the Mix and Match Hats fresh off our circular knitting needles, using Uptown Worsted. These chic, eye-catching hats, designed by Rachel Brockman, are great go-to accessories for adding a pop of color to your outfit. They’re warm and cozy, making them the perfect project to choose next – especially since we’re gearing up for the fall.

One ball of each shade is enough to make both of these hats, reversing the colors for the second one. That means you can make one for yourself and one as a gift! Share with your best friend, coordinate with your partner, or craft these matching cuties for your kiddos and watch them frolic in the falling leaves, knowing their little noggins are safe from the cool, crisp air.

Imagine these little beauties in any two colors of Uptown Worsted–there are so many to choose from and so many possible combinations! You can support your favorite sports team or pick school colors, or even put together two similar shades to create a more subtle look. I’m dreaming of a light grey and black combo since spooky season is upon us!

Whatever you choose, your Mix and Match Hats will be the epitome of comfort and durability. Knit in the 100% anti-pilling acrylic strands of Uptown Worsted, these hats are super-soft and machine-washable to boot! Grab this stash staple yarn at 20% off, now through Sunday, September 14.

Enjoy every stitch,

Free Pattern Friday – Ghostly Gourds

Spooky season is upon us! There’s no better time for a Halloween cast-on, and we have just the project for you! I’m thrilled to make my Free Pattern Friday design debut with Ghostly Gourds, a frightfully-fun pair stuffed jack-o’-lanterns, knit in Uptown Worsted.

Ghostly Gourds are the perfect treat for your needles, and they utilize some clever tricks too. Duplicate stitch gives these cuddly cuties their eerie faces, and a simple shaping technique defines their pumpkin-y ridges. Stockinette stitch with the yarn held double makes for such fast knitting that you’ll have a finished project before you can say “boo!”

Display these jolly jack-o’-lanterns on your mantle or window sill, poised to greet costumed kiddos or guests at your Halloween bash. Or throw on your favorite scary movie, grab a mug of mulled cider, and get comfy, because these plump pumpkins are ripe for a snuggle!

Ghostly Gourds are squishably soft and durable, thanks to Uptown Worsted’s 100% anti-pilling acrylic base. Easy to care for and available in over 60 colors, this staple yarn makes beautiful garments, accessories, and home decor that will last for years to come.

Uptown Worsted yarn and kits are 20% off through Sunday, September 14. Stock up on this best-seller, snag a Ghostly Gourds Kit (including the pattern and all the yarn you need!), and create something truly spooktacular!

Happy hauntings!
