Devin is a free wrap pattern from Berroco.One of our favorite shop samples done up so well in blues! Thanks for sharing. Looks great on you.Did you see that Berroco (and their partners) are hosting a Sock Hop in February? Grab a pattern, some yarn and join us in making socks for the month of February!These two adorable hats were designed by Julie Nye, who you may recognize from our Maine Yarn Podcast!Hanna Maciejewka works her magic to create a bold and beautiful (and unisex!) design that we can't get enough of. Eucalipia leans into Quince & Co Osprey’s cushy feel and relaxed twist for an eye-catching design that works up quickly. A uniquely organic cable pattern appears to weave along the edge of this ribbed triangular shawl, that’s as pleasing to knit as it is to wear. Cast on this knitworthy piece in a shade of Osprey to suit your personal style.Our 2022 project tote bags have been designed and they are in the process of being hand-sewn for you! We are not going to reveal the amazing new design that Scott Nash created for us until they are in the shop, but trust me, you will want to have one. 🤩KnitWit Yarn Shop Facebook Page
