Prime is a textural riff on our favorite boxy pullovers. Welts on the lower torso are halved by a narrow vertical element, while the yoke is in clean stockinette fabric. Exaggerated drop shoulders and just a hint of A-line shaping through the torso finesse the roomy fit, and the light warmth of Loft makes this an easy piece to incorporate into your wardrobe. Double-deep single ribbing on the hem and bracelet-length cuffs further heightens the geometry, and transitions in fabric are subtly marked by a lateral braid.

With the option to knit as a sleeveless vest or a long-sleeved cardigan, Newel is a thick cabled garment with plenty of modern appeal. With bias stockinette stitch front panels and knit in Quarry yarn, Newel strikes a balance of rusticity and elegance. Wide cables adorn the collar and front bands, integrating cleverly with pockets that complement the overall wearability of Newel. The garment is worked flat in one piece from a Provisional Cast On from the bottom to the underarms on a circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches.

"Grist offers a restrained take on traditional fishing sweaters, featuring ribbed shoulder epaulets and delicate, allover banded patterns that recall favorite ganseys of old. Despite its relaxed nature, the boxy silhouette cleverly conceals shaping details that preserve a flattering proportion and fit. Deep, sloping shoulder lines prevent the upper yoke from being overwhelmed with excess fabric, while optional subtle body shaping tailors the fit of the lower body.

Redhook is worked in one piece, back-and-forth in rows, from the bottom-up on circular needles. The deep shawl collar and ribbed cap-sleeves are shaped using short rows and are picked up and worked directly from the body of the vest. The long, tunic-like shape makes a great garment for fall layering and is a perfect medium-sized project for those yarns in your stash that are just short of a full-sweater’s-worth. Redhook is at once both chic and comforting — two wonderful attributes for any garment! Designer: Jared Flood Collection…

" I designed this garment with the aim of creating a piece of woolly armor, something to remind you to stay soft in an increasingly harsh world. It’s also a layering piece for transitional weather - keeping your core warm while still allowing for movement and air flow, simple but with enough detail to keep it interesting. The shaker rib epaulets lend the wearer a feeling of quiet power, and options for either ties or button tabs at the sides as well as for a crew- or mock- neck allow you to customize the tabard to your preference.

Beaumont can be made as a traditional tam (shown in red & white) or a beanie (shown in shades of grey) simply by knitting to a different gauge and blocking the finished piece in a style-specific manner. Inspired by the use of angora in traditional Bohus sweaters, I worked mine with a wool/angora blend to achieve a smokey, ethereal halo that makes colorwork beautifully cohesive. The design also looks wonderful in Shetland wool. Two versions are provided: one utilizes 2 colors, the other 4.

The Shale Baby Blanket nods to nursery knits of yesteryear with a four-row repeat of a variation on the Feather-and-Fan motif, teasing a pretty, undulating edge from the paired ridges of garter stitch at top and bottom.

Knit a shawl in two skeins of Loft or a narrow crescent scarf in four skeins of Shelter from the same clever pattern. Both versions begin with a cast-on at the neck edge and a segment of garter short rows to establish the curved form. Lace guru Susanna IC often finds inspiration in traditional Estonian motifs; for Rakke, her first Wool People contribution, she employs a leaf design and uses nupps to embellish the lower portions of the shawl. Working these motifs in a larger yarn gives them a modern feel and pleasing rustic texture.

"The Mossyblocks fabric re-purposes traditional Aran patterns (rope cables, moss stitch, and purl ridges) into a rich checkerboard of texture. The allover patterning is punctuated by large stripes of garter rib to give an overall sense of rhythm to the piece, and a clean corded selvedge trims each edge of the piece for a polished finish. This lyrically textured fabric is perfect for blankets, scarves or wraps, so we’ve included patterns for all (including a range of sizes from baby blanket to large throw), as well as instructions for two yarn gauges.

Wake is worked in pieces of irregular shape—the back with a wide hem that wraps around to the hipbones and forms a graceful curve worked with short rows, the front narrow at the waist with an incisive V-neck—and then seamed to achieve a raglan style with an asymmetric hem that’s higher in the front.

Tavola takes the staple boxy pullover and adds to it the joy of color and texture. Its silhouette remains simple to provide an ample canvas for graphic “striping” that is both intriguing and satisfying to work. Alternating between two colors every other row while alternating between blocks of knits and purls across the rows creates a visual effect rather like brickwork. This motif is carried through the sleeves, while the hems, cuffs, and upper chest remain in a single color for a color blocked effect. Exposed seams at the shoulders complement the piece’s architectural flair.

Worked circularly from the bottom up with gentle waist shaping, Voe offers plenty of mellow stockinette before the fireworks of the yoke. An innovative stranding approach creates tiny dashes of woven color amid the motifs. The hem and cuffs are distinguished by a contrast-color cast-on and garter double rib, with the yoke design echoed on the sleeves. The slim, tailored fit and wide, shallow neckline give Voe a vintage, feminine feel.
