These stockings are worked from the top down, in the round with an afterthought heel. Color changes are achieved through the stranded method of knitting. Carry unused colors loosely inside work. When changing to a new color at the beginning of the round, bring the new color around the other strands to prevent holes from forming in the work. Each kit includes enough yarn to make both versions of this stocking. You may wish to place markers between pattern repeats to help you stay on track.
Illuvia Shawl
The gentle fall of rain and snow in nature is one of my favorite things. It is calming in the simplest of ways, and it looks graceful and beautiful. The inspiration for the Iluvia Shawl is the way that chilly rain looks as it falls and moves on various surfaces. Working in a variety of stitch patterns, the aqueous inspiration comes to life in this soothing sampler project. We’ve updated this beautiful, well-loved pattern with new yarns and icy hues. Perfect for a contemporary winter wardrobe!

PATTERN NOTES
This cowl is crocheted in joined, turning rounds. Colors alternate every two rounds, and the floats travel up along the seam. If you do not wish to have floats, you will need to fasten off at each color change and later weave in the ends.
It is recommended that you place a removable stitch marker to denote the first stitch of the round, then move it up each time you begin a new round. This will provide a clear marker when you join each round with a slip stitch.

Snow Day Set
Ah – the anticipation of a snow day! Snow falling steadily outside, piling on the ground. People excitedly anticipate whether school or work is on – or if you get to spend a cozy day at home. Before stepping out into the cold to take a walk, shovel snow, or build a snowman, you must be sure to bundle up! What could be better than a matching hat and mitten set that features faux-flakes to celebrate a snow day? These mitts are just as warm and cozy as before, but reimagined for 2023, we’ve added a larger size for the mittens and adjusted the yarn to a frosty shade of blue.

Snowfolk
Meet Agnes, Dorothy, and Maureen – the three best Snowfolk you’ve ever seen! These three knitters are the dearest of friends and make the perfect knitting circle on chilly days. For 2023, we’ve re-imagined several accessories for our little friends, but this is just a start. We hope you will take these ideas and run with them, personalizing your own snow pals as you see fit.

PATTERN NOTES
The bodies of these Snowfolk are knit from the bottom up in the round on double pointed needles and are stuffed with polyester filling. For Snowfolk that stand well on their own, you might consider placing a sand-filled pouch in the base to weight them down. We chose smooth twigs and trimmed them to use as arms. Each accessory is knit separately and removable. The cowl and beret are both knit in the round, and the capelet is knit flat. A small I-cord is used for the handwarmers.
Snowstorm
Winter storms have a special magic to them – silencing the hustle and bustle and blanketing the world with fluffy snow. Decorated with a geometric snowflake motif, the Snowstorm scarf is lightweight and lofty, yet warm enough to ward off the harshest chill, thanks to the blend of wool and alpaca in our Kingston Tweed yarn.

These socks are knit from the toe up with an afterthought heel. The toe, heel, and cuff are each worked in a solid color. The rest of the sock features a mosaic-style slip stitch colorwork motif that incorporates right and left twisted stitches. Only one color is used per round. Work all slipped stitches purlwise with yarn held in back of work unless otherwise indicated.
This pattern features instructions that specify using DPNs due to the shifting nature of the Plaid Diamonds motif. However, other methods of knitting small circumferences, such as magic loop, will work for this pattern.
We Three Hats

Thrice is nice, and new can be even nicer! Shown in a fresh palette of colors, We Three Hats features three unique hat patterns designed to make the most of three balls of yarn. These hats would make wonderful gifts. We recommend making two for others and keeping one as a gift for yourself! There is no chance of boredom with these patterns. Each pattern features an interesting technique: from slipped stiches to stranded knitting and twisted stitches, you won’t want to put these beauties down!
