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 – Cider the Donut

Who’s getting excited for sweater weather? I know I am! I love the autumn season and all of the tasty treats that come with it. This week, we’re releasing a fun free pattern inspired by one of those delicious bites.

Cider the Donut was designed by Ashley Jane McIntyre. Crocheted using soft and sturdy Ricorumi DK held alongside Rico Design Metallic No 40 thread, Cider is an adorable amigurumi you can make for yourself or gift to a friend!

Cider is constructed by crocheting in the round in a continuous spiral. After the tube is made, you’ll stuff the donut and seam the ends together. Once stuffed n’ seamed, you can follow the embroidery instructions for the face, or get creative and make Cider uniquely yours.

This project is an excellent addition to your desk decor, or add a keychain and attach it to your favorite bag! I love the colors chosen for this project, the sparkle in Rico Design’s Metallic No 40 thread is perfectly reminiscent of the sugary coating on apple cider donuts.

If I made Cider the Donut myself, I think I’d have to go with a pink color and sparkles for a strawberry glazed donut! What flavor would you create?

Happy Crafting,

Aubrey
