Featuring eyelet linework that easily belongs near the sea, conjuring images of coastal footbridges, the wake of a ship, or sea urchin shells, Tensile is an ethereal spring layer. Worked in airy, woolen-spun Loft or Tones Light , this piece is one that wears next to the skin like sea foam — clouds on the sand — seemingly floating and barely there, but held together by the tensility of a thousand humble stitches. This garment is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up, then sewn together. The turtleneck collar is picked up and worked circularly. The eyelet motif is worked from charts only.

Elegantly etched in Peerie ’s soft American Merino wool, the drop-shoulder silhouette is as effortless as lounging on your favorite beach blanket, whiling away the hours.

Modern minimalism transforms traditional stranded colorwork. Delicate peerie bands, strikingly graphic against the negative space of single-color stockinette, are reminiscent of wire fences on western rangelands. Worked in only three colors of Peerie (aptly named) or Loft, Ashland can take on very different appearances depending on the shades you choose almost any combination of one light, one dark, and one bright should sing, and more closely related shades can produce a richly subtle effect.

Stasis is a round-yoke colorwork pullover inspired by the geometric motifs found in blackwork embroidery, often stitched in black thread on a quiet, off-white background. As a pullover, Stasis retains this simplicity, with its line art motif concentrated on the yoke and hems. It is precisely because of this minimal yet striking design that Stasis also works well in bolder color combinations. The balanced placement of the motifs also offers interesting possibilities for color blocking.

In a compelling balance of geometric linework and openwork, Rivulet reminds one of the languid swaying of seaweed under water, swirling schools of fish, and rippling coastal bedforms.

"This shawl developed around a cable that I couldn’t get out of my head, and when its meandering tendrils are turned upside down they bring to mind complex, interlocking root systems. The garter stitch top and bottom borders lend visual grounding, but a sense of upward movement as well to counter the downward-tangling cables.

These stranded mittens feature an allover geometric pattern on the hand, and a modified Norwegian “lice” filler on the palm and thumb. I was so inspired by this intriguing color combination, with its strong complimentary undertones. The rich, golden Hayloft has a base of orange flecks that combine harmoniously with Truffle Hunt’s underlying shades of blue. This cool brown really makes the colors pulsate together. We encourage you to experiment with your own color combinations! Designer: Jared Flood Collection: Loft…

Cocoon in a fabric at once quiet and expressive. Putting humble knits and purls to good use, Watermark exhibits a harmonious meshing of easy to love (and accomplish) textures: grid stitch, furrowed ribbing, and classic one-by-one ribbing. Nestled in between each are panels of geometric cables, branching to form chevron diamonds that shine when the light hits just right. Contemporary construction details designed to flatter, like modified drop shoulders and gentle waist shaping, marry fabric, pattern, and shape all together — the patch pockets don’t hurt, either!

For knitters who love a geometric puzzle, this study in modular asymmetry will keep the brain and the needles busy. Constructed in squares and triangles worked from the edges inward, Counterpane uses bands of stockinette, garter, and brioche to create three-dimensional texture as well as arresting diagonal lines. Each section is worked on stitches picked up from the previous square and newly cast on. The sleeve cuffs achieve a subtle bloused form by echoing the brioche and garter bands of the blocks.

" The Shapeshift Cardigan takes a traditional top-down raglan structure and turns it on its head to create something both familiar and unexpected. By shifting half of the raglan increases to the top of the shoulder, graphic diagonal lines are formed along the sleeve. This bold architectural shaping produces an eye-catching twist on the classic cardigan. Squishy brioche stitch gets its volume turned up when worked in chunky-weight Arbor Lodge or Quarry . The strong geometric lines of this favorite stitch pattern highlight the garment’s unique shaping.

“To give the basic Aran pullover a little pizzazz, I added the bias cables on the front and back pieces. They add interest not only by changing the flow of the cables, but by changing the entire silhouette of the sweater. The biasing gives the slightest hint of a peplum and accentuates the waist naturally. And to keep the femininity, the neckband is a soft rollover versus a traditional ribbed neckband.” – Michele Wang Designer: Michele Wang Collection: Fall…
