Happy Friday, crafters! Today’s spotlight features the Beechnut Pullover, designed by Amy Gunderson.
As the seasons shift, the Beechnut Pullover emerges as a quintessential piece for your transitional wardrobe. This elegant sweater captures the essence of beech trees, featuring intricate lace panels along the sleeves that mirror the delicate beauty of leaves.
What sets the Beechnut Pullover apart is its innovative construction. The journey begins with knitting the lace sleeve panels, allowing you to immerse yourself in the detailed leaf motifs. Once completed, stitches for the body and sleeves are picked up along the panel edges, and the garment is worked from the top down.
Originally crafted using Papyrus, the pattern has been updated to feature Wool Pop. This DK-weight yarn, composed of 50% bamboo, 35% superwash wool, and 15% polyamide, offers a soft drape and subtle sheen, enhancing the pullover’s refined appearance.
Take advantage of a 20% discount on Wool Pop through Sunday, April 20th, and stock up on your favorite color of this delightful yarn.
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!
It’s Friday again, and that means you get another pattern on us. You’re in for a treat with this one!

The floral beauty of this shawl is enhanced by delicate color transitions and a picot edging. Just a little fun, just a little flirty!
Rico Design’s Creative Cotton Camouflage boasts a stunning 634 yards in a single 200 gram ball, and guess what that means? You can make this shawl with only one ball of yarn! With a blend of 45% acrylic, 44% cotton, and 11% polyamide, this knits up into a super-soft and squooshy fabric with just the right amount of drape.

There’s something truly mesmerizing about circular knitted throws—they radiate warmth, symmetry, and endless charm. When paired with a self-striping yarn like Deluxe Stripes, the results are nothing short of magical!
Circular throws add a unique visual appeal compared to traditional square or rectangular blankets. They drape beautifully over furniture, make perfect statement pieces for cozy nooks, and work wonderfully as lap blankets or decorative accents.
With Deluxe Stripes, the colors flow seamlessly in rings, highlighting the radial symmetry of the pattern without needing to weave in a bunch of ends from color changes—what a win!
Deluxe Stripes is a worsted-weight, 100% wool yarn known for its rich, self-striping colorways. It’s soft yet durable, making it perfect for a cozy throw that will last for years.
