Interweave Yarn Fest 2023 Pattern Collection

French-Hungarian artist Victor Vasarely is widely considered the “grandfather” of the op-art movement. His lasting influence is highlighted in the Vasarely Cowl. Diminishing-width squares become rectangles in an optical illusion—producing a colorwork motif that is as relevant today as it was in 1965.

Named for Loie Fuller, a pioneering art nouveau dancer, the Loie Shawl is full of movement and grace. Beginning with a garter-tab cast-on, this classic top-down triangle shawl incorporates an allover lace pattern before transitioning into a scalloped border. The cotton-and-silk yarn adds lovely sheen and drape to this springtime beauty.

Hats are great projects for learning new techniques, and the Axinite Hat is no exception. Practice simple lace knitting, crown shaping, and working a small circumference in the round as you complete this perfect warm-weather accessory.

Mohair yarn combines with a heavier Merino/acrylic blend to create this retro-inspired sweater. The stylish Revels Pullover is worked in the round from the top down in a combination of yarns and subtle textures. A button closure at the back of the neck adds a subtle elegance.

Keep your hair out of your eyes on windy summer days with the Lotus Lace Kerchief. This lovely, lacy headband easily ties under your hair and is finished off with a sweet tassel. It is worked in a cotton and linen blend, ideal for keeping cool.

This fresh take on a market-style bag is worked in the round from the bottom up with a playful chevron pattern. The unique handle features two loops: Pull the longer loop through the shorter loop, and you?re ready to go!

Bundle up with this comfy cowl and you’ll quickly discover all the incredible dimension this simple design has to offer. Pairing single crochets with post stitches creates dramatic ridges as awe-inspiring as the peaks and valleys of the Grand Canyon itself. Make it in the smaller size for a cozy neckwarmer or try the bigger size for a dramatic accessory.

Delicate fans dance along the fabric of this lightweight shawl. Pure alpaca yarn gives a bit of halo for interest and warmth while keeping the piece lightweight and portable. The shawl, worked from the tip up to the wide edge, features a delicate picot edging that is worked at the end.

Delicate stripes of chains appear like starfish in the lower body, while contrasting stripes curve like magic between them. Layer the sleeveless Starfish and Surf Top over tanks or dresses for a stunning statement look. Crocheted in 100% Pima cotton, this garment is perfect for a walk along the beach.

A well-wearing wool blend makes up this super sampler of stitches.
