Happy Free Pattern Friday, crafters! This week, we’re dreaming of sunny days and seaside getaways, so we’re sharing a perfect pattern to cast on now and have ready in time for the summer season or your next beach vacation. Previously an LYS exclusive, the Wind and Waves Top by Yonca Ozbelli is now available as a free pattern for you to enjoy!
Like watching waves lap the shore, you’ll be captivated by the meditative undulating lace pattern in stripes of oceanic blues. And you’ll stay cool and comfortable in our luxuriously soft Cotton Supreme yarn, an excellent choice for warm weather knitting. Ideal for styling with a pair of shorts or your favorite skirt, you’ll be reaching for the Wind and Waves Top all summer long.
Knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up and featuring a simple boxy construction, this easy-breezy tee is an approachable and entertaining project for knitters of all skill levels. Dive in and be delighted by all this gorgeous design has to offer!
Made of 100% cotton, Cotton Supreme is a smooth and sumptuous worsted-weight yarn that works up beautifully in a palette of vibrant shades. This buttery-soft yarn gets even softer with each wash (that’s right, it’s machine washable and dryable!), making it a perfect pick for next-to-skin garments and accessories for adults and children alike.
To celebrate 2025 and the release of the Wind and Waves Top, our Cotton Supreme family of yarns is 25% off this weekend! Get a head start on your summer wardrobe and save on Cotton Supreme, Cotton Supreme Speckles, and Cotton Supreme Waves, now through Sunday, January 12th!
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! I hope you are enjoying the beautiful summer sun on this holiday week. This Friday, we are releasing a brand new pattern knit using one of our most Pop-ular yarns.
The Spark Tee was designed by Afifa Sayeed using Bamboo Pop Sock in one of the newest colors we released last year. Bamboo Pop Sock is a sock-weight yarn comprised of bamboo, cotton, and PBT; the perfect fiber blend for hot days.
The Spark Tee is the perfect essential for a casual day out. An open mesh-style stitch pattern is worked on the main body, giving this tee a stretchy, breezy feel. The mesh pattern is easy to memorize, making this tee a great choice for knitters of all skill levels.
You’ll knit the Spark Tee flat in pieces, starting with the Front. Although seaming knits may not seem like the most fun part of a project, they add structure and integrity to the final piece, which is great for elastic yarns like Bamboo Pop Sock.
After seaming, stitches are picked up around the armholes as well as the neckband to create the ribbed edging. The ribbing offers a nice textural contrast to the mesh pattern.
Designer Afifa Sayeed chose color 702 Ecstatic for the Spark Tee. I love how playful and sunny this shade looks. Bamboo Pop Sock has a unique self-shading print throughout, so any color you choose will result in an exciting finished piece. If I made the Spark Tee, I would choose color 706 Serentiy; pink and purple are my favorite colors!

Hello There! This week, we have a pattern that’s as sweet as sorbet. Introducing the Striated Shawl, designed by Afifa Sayeed. The self-shading hues of Rico Design’s Fashion Cotton Light and Long Tweed DK bring to mind the tasty treat, or the swirling striations of rock formations, for which it gets it’s namesake.
This petite shawl is knit from the bottom up, utilizing increases and decreases to create the edging shape. Stockinette is used throughout most of the project to showcase the beautiful tones and flecks of tweed in the yarn. Why go over the top with a complex stitch pattern when you can let the yarn do the talking?!
the Striated Shawl maximizes the use of 2 balls of Rico Design, Fashion Cotton Light and Long Tweed DK. This gorgeous yarn has a breezy chainette construction and is made of 47% cotton, 43% acrylic, 7% polyamide, and 3% viscose. The shading blends and shifts softly, like a watercolor painting, and is enhanced with the sprinkling of tweed throughout. While each ball is just 50g, there is a whopping 202 yards packed in each one – a testament to the lofty, lightweight tubular construction that makes this yarn perfect for most seasons.
The Striated Shawl will look great in any shade of Rico Design Fashion Cotton Light and Long Tweed DK! Which color do you think you’ll choose? This weekend only (today – Sunday 6/16) save 15% on this lovely yarn. That’s all for today, happy stitching! Ashley Jane
