I’ve opened my 10th annual mystery knit-a-long for preorders, and this year’s theme is TV’s Ted Lasso. Get set, Boba Fett, for some dad jokes and ‘80s references to keep you in stitches for six clues beginning on February 27th. The pattern is discounted (no code necessary) during the preorder period, and those purchasing at this time will receive a planning sheet with all the yarn details.
This sweet scarf features a modified dragonfly-lace pattern with zero cabling (a smocked set of stitches replaces the cables) and a neat, i-cord edging.
Written for two size lengths, the scarf can be easily lengthened or shortened to your preferred length in a DK or light worsted yarn.
Perfect for stash diving and using up some single skeins of sock yarn, this top-down, drop-shouldered 3/4-sleeve pullover only looks like it’s stranded knitting. In reality, you only ever use one color on any row, and work a “dip” stitch here and there to make it look like stranded colorwork.
Short rows are worked to shape both the neckline and the shoulders. The neckline shaping lowers the ribbing a bit so that you don’t feel choked by the boatneck, while the short rows at the shoulders angle them downward to give you less underarm bulk.
To keep things even more fun, enjoy a Drops of Jupiter-themed playlist on Spotify. to jam to while you knit (link is on the pattern page).
Join in the latest mystery knit-along with Lyrical knits: Only Yarn in the Building is an homage to “Only Murders in the Building,” a fun, intergenerational spoof on murder mysteries. The mystery pattern will be revealed in six clues, beginning on Feb. 21st.
Lyrical Knits’ new pattern, the Lady Whistledown Shawl, is the kind of knit you can work until you run out of yarn. Two colorways switch back and forth within a dip stitch pattern to create a pleasing color pattern that is both easy enough for TV knitting and interesting enough to want to knit more. It’s on sale at 40% off through Monday, Dec. 2nd along with all Lyrical Knits patterns on Ravelry.
Lyrical Knits has released a new summer knit that’s a nice way to use up two skeins of sock yarn. Fans of the recent Muppet Shawl MKAL will recognize the fun, easier-than-it-looks stitch pattern from the Doctor Teeth-inspired section in this new boomerang shawl design. It begins with only three stitches, so it’s a breeze to cast on and watch it grow with each row.
Welcome to the mystery knit-along that’s most sensational, celebrational, and inspirational! This year’s Lyrical Knits MKAL celebrates all things Muppets — from Miss Piggy to the heckling Statler and Waldorf. The pattern is for a rectangular shawl with several different stitch patterns and a fun twist to the construction at the end.
It’s worked up in fingering-weight yarn with one main color and six mini skeins for contrasting colors, though you can certainly do it with fewer contrasting colors.
The first clue drops on March 1st, and those purchasing the pattern during the preorder period will receive a discount as well as a planning sheet with more info on the yarn and color requirements.
Super easy knitting that packs a bubbly punch! Perfect for either showing off a variegated yarn against a solid background or using up scraps, this DK-weight hat makes for relaxed, easy knitting that looks like you put way more work into it than you did.
Knitters of the Killer Queen Cowl or pullover will recognize the knit-below bubble stitch pattern with the added benefit of being even easier to work in the round.
Designed especially for Miss Babs’s Rhinebeck 2023 colorway, that version will be revealed on Rhinebeck Saturday and the pattern will be updated with the new photos.
The Killer Queen Pullover pattern is out and ready for your needles.
The same slip stitch patterning as its namesale cowl makes the colorwork easy — you only ever use one yarn in a row, so there’s no stranding. Short row shaping at the neck gives a comfortable fit, and slightly blousey long sleeves give it some modern flair.
The pattern is written with instructions that are individualized for each size, so it’s easy to follow. Each stitch pattern is written out line by line, and there are no charts to worry about. If you’re a chart lover, no worries either! The stitch patterns are made of short repeats that are very easy to memorize.
Pattern is written for long sleeves with suggestions for how to create short sleeves.
