This gracefully modern interpretation of the traditional lace stole plays with clever, knitterly construction. Dawn Catanzaro gives her piece an unexpected 90-degree twist to make an impact with long lines of garter stitch. The center of the stole is knit up from a long foundational strip of lace, the lace of the short edges is accomplished together with the body, and the second long lace edge is worked as the garter stitches are bound off. Knit in Loft at an airy gauge, the fabric is light and warm as down. Designer: Dawn Catanzaro Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Ellsworth, inspired by the artwork of its namesake, Ellsworth Kelly, is a minimalist take on the dramatic relationship between land and sea, structure and fluidity. Well-defined blocks of contrasting color stand in almost unresolvable tension, only to move, ripple, and coalesce in bashful compromise as encouraged by the coastal breeze. As its colors weave through your fingers and envelop your shoulders, Ellsworth invites both tactile and visual meditation on the dynamic nature of texture, shape, and space.

Worked in both chunky weight Quarry and DK weight Arbor yarns, the Normandale cardigan is a feat in design ingenuity. Knit flat in one piece to the underarms, each row of the main body is worked using just one color with stitches of the other color slipped along the way to create a nubbly mosaic motif reminiscent of Portland’s many bridges. Slightly sloping shoulders and no body shaping make Normandale an excellent cardigan for wearers of any gender. A shawl collar worked in brioche stitch adds extra oomph to this standout design.

Cast on a shawl to conjure summer wildflowers when the snow starts to fly. Aster is a delicate triangular beauty made of traditional Estonian elements, including tulip motifs and nupps—simple small bobbles formed by repeatedly knitting and making yarnovers into a single stitch, then purling together the whole cluster on the return row. Apart from the nupp closures, wrong side rows are worked plain, making this lace project accessible to intermediate knitters. Worked from the top center outward, the shawl uses three skeins of Loft and measures 58” along the top edge after blocking.

A cocoon cardigan in openwork fabric offers casual style you can dress up or down. Quarry’s leavened, unspun structure renders netting stitch fabric as a doughy lattice, warm but well ventilated. Wide stockinette edges are allowed to curl for an unstudied effect that invites layering over office wear or lounging with a favorite film and a bowl of popcorn. Bracelet-length dolman sleeves and a boxy shape create a comfortable, broad silhouette; use the hip measurement to select a size that will allow easy movement.

Tech meets tradition. Futuristic stranded colorwork distinguishes this pullover, knit in two colors of Loft. The pixelated motif of interlocking diamonds creates a gradient shift from dark to light, highlighting broad shoulders (and knitting skills.) Carbon is worked in the round with steeks at the armholes, and the folded contrast hem provides a canvas for an optional secret message: a charted alphabet and numerals are included in the pattern. The set-in sleeves are worked circularly to armholes, with flat caps that are sewn in once the steeks have been cut.

" I “unvented” this stitch pattern after becoming curious about different ways to create a honeycomb or lattice effect in brioche. The resulting fabric is cushy and intriguingly dimensional in plush Imbue Worsted, making for a cozy but polished beanie or watchcap sized for the whole family. Choose a Color 2 that’s darker than your Color 1 to ensure the honeycomb effect shown here, or go with lower contrast or a lighter Color 2 for a softer look. This stitch pattern is also ripe for colorplay by changing up your Color 2 throughout the hat!

Kirsten’s work is known for its clean shapes and architectural inspirations. With Dresden, overlapping front pieces create a flattering, draped silhouette, while darts are worked to taper the waist and accentuate the piece’s overall shape. Johnstone further explored the design by creating a companion cardigan with a slim-fitting sleeve. The vest is worked seamlessly with a smart shaping solution at the shoulder. The cardigan’s optional added sleeves are worked circularly to the underarm, then flat to shape the cap. Make one – or both – and have fun layering!

Reach for the Marte Vest when in need of a light, functional layer that doesn’t sacrifice knitterly detail. Marte begins from the bottom up with generous two-by-two ribbing and stockinette that meld into interlinking cables mimicking chainmail, but rendered soft, airy, and lightweight in Loft. Each armhole is bordered by a two-stitch I-cord selvedge and a gently curving column of knit stitches meandering out of the cables, adding clean cohesion and interest for the knitter’s eye to appreciate.

Ebb is a flirty throwback to the Sixties mini dress, with a marled gradient created by holding two strands of Loft in different colors together and changing one color at a time.

Slim-fitting Ebb is worked top-down, with short rows to shape the neckline and sleeve caps worked contiguously with the body.

“A desire for a stylish, modern and graphic knitted jacket inspired this design. I love how crisp and clean cables look in Shelter yarn, and wanted to explore the idea of working cables that never actually cross. Rather than a traditional cabled look, the result is more linear, like lines drawn on a chalkboard. The high neckline and vertical ribbing of the button band add to the cool, crisp look I was aiming for. This jacket is knit from the top down in one piece with minimal finishing.” − Tanis Lavallée Designer: Tanis Lavallée Collection: Wool People, Volume…
