Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages, we’d like to welcome you to step right up and visit a beautiful, vintage-inspired Circus for this month’s KnitCrate themes. It’s finally July and we’re excited to share the glitz, glamour and glitter of this month’s theme, Circus Circus.

This theme is special since it was developed in coordination with KnitCrate member AwkwardKatalyst, who won our So...

Our memories are universal, the story of the first time we experienced the comfort, warmth and love of a shawl. Darya has created a truly memorable shawl with “Alma Shawl”. Based on a scalene triangle, making it large enough to easily wrapping around your shoulders and then some. The delicate lace sits atop each solid area like the crest of a wave as the tide gently rolls in to shore. Choose your...

Why do we knit our own socks? This is a question all of us are asked by those who don’t knit at least once. This months sock pattern from Kay Litton answers that question. Because they are FUN! This whimsical trailing cable pattern catches the eye and teases us with each stitch to keep going, like sprinkles on ice cream and playing with puppies at the same time: sheer delight.

“Happiness is held in the seed and expressed in the flower it produces.” What a lovely image to describe Kristy’s pattern. The stitches in this pattern remind us of soil, seeds and flowers. Each stitch is placed carefully within the pattern, stitch-by-stitch as if seeking the sun to ultimately bloom into these beautiful socks. The yarn provides the “soil” for her stitches. As every gardener knows,...

There is nothing like the fresh scent of citrus to wake up the senses and put a spring in your step! Sunshine that you can wear, creating a halo of softness and warmth around your neck, how fantastic!

This cowl’s brioche stitches result in a yummy fabric that has a thermal, waffle-like texture. The cashmere content of the yarn, and the movement of the yarn back and forth provide pure knitting...
