Top 5 Must-Knit Patterns (Editor’s Picks)

Let’s look at my Top 5 Must-Knit PicksTruly, these are the patterns I recommend casting on first for utmost joy and impact.

  1. First up is the Nordic Bloom Cowl by Nici Griffin. Since it’s new, graphic, and super wearable, it’s now on promo (see Deals). Although it’s a DK weight stranded knit, and looks advanced, in reality, it knits up really chill.
  2. The Crail Collection by Rebecca Clow is a whole capsule to chase after. It includes a cardigan, a sweater, a vest, and a slipover—basically four wardrobe solutions in one. Furthermore, it uses a top-down raglan construction with cable details and roomy ease, which makes it feel incredibly accessible.  Ravelry
