The Color of the Year is a perfect match for your next project!
Dear Knitting Friend,
Welcome to the year of Peach Fuzz — Pantone’s choice for Color of the Year for 2024. This light yet vibrant shade of some hue of gentle orange is so soft and soothing, warm and embracing — and it’s the perfect shade for so many projects! Here are our top peach picks:
Burrow-Worthy Blankets
The Bonfire Plaid Blanket by designer Nadya Stallings features a bold plaid pattern that’s surprisingly easy to make. Slip stitches and horizontal garter stripes combine to create a beautiful plaid pattern. Need something colorful for a new member of the family? Our Gracie Stripes Easy Baby Blanket is packed with color and comfort.
I hate wasting yarn, so I always stash my leftover yarn so I can put it to use at some point. Well, we have a great stash busting project for you! Our Patchwork Earth Blanket pattern combines simple rib stitch with fun blocks of color to create a super-comfy textured blanket. Even better: this pattern is rated easy, and will give new knitters a chance to work in the intarsia technique. And if you don’t have any peach yarn on hand, now’s a great time to head to the yarn store!
Cowls & Other Sweet Little Gifts
Sometimes all you need is a cowl to take the edge off a chilly day, so why not warm up in style? Our Ginger Gradient Cables Cowl shows off lovely gradient yarn with an interesting stitch pattern that’s deceptively simple to work. The cowl’s designed with a tapered shape that uses a change in needle sizes instead of decreases. Don’t like the taper? Don’t change your needles. You can make this cowl uniquely yours in a weekend.
Looking for a couple little projects? Knit our Lola Legwarmers for a fun and fashionable present you can finish in a weekend. Need just a little extra something to brighten up your space? Knit up a patch of Wee-B-Little Pumpkins for some tiny, adorable fall décor.
Sweet Scarves & Shawls
Just about any time of year is a good time to work on a scarf or shawl. Ready for a fun and rewarding colorwork challenge? Our Corey Colorwork Scarf is a beautiful and bold project that will let you show off your colorwork skills. Use our color scheme or design your own!
Mix and match your favorite colors (Peach Fuzz, anyone?) and knit yourself a one-of-a-kind scarf. Our Golden Hour Fair Isle Scarf offers plenty of color combination options, and the circular knit design keeps the wrong side of this project hidden in plain sight!
And we have two beautiful peach-themed shawls for you to consider. Our Autumn Crown Watercolor Shawl is light and lacy, with leaf-inspired motifs throughout its half-hexagon shape. Make our Sun-Kissed Skies Shawl to remind you of the light peach glow of the rising summer sun. This triangular shawl features a glistening beaded border and can be worn as a shawl or as a scarf!
On-Trend Tops
I always treasure that golden moment when the sunset fills the sky with lovely shades of pink, ivory, and peach. Capture that sunset feeling with our Maude Poncho. It’s ethereal, soft, and seamless. And you can totally customize it the way you want it: add sleeves and a funnel neck, or just keep things simple. This is a beginner-friendly pattern with plenty of possibility!
Looking for a classic way to be stylish and stay warm? Knit our Feeling Peachy Lace Cardigan, with its coordinating lace patterns that are totally on trend. The drape and flow of this cardigan makes it a perfect choice to wear anywhere from work to the weekend.
Cable lovers, gather ‘round! Our Rayanna Cables Top looks cool with four different dainty cables on the front. If you love cables, you’ll love this top. And if you love playing with color, you’ll love our Boardwalk Tee with its bold blocks of opportunity. Lace lovers of all skill levels will love the look and feel of our Cresslyn Drop-Stitch Cover-Up — a beginner-friendly pattern that uses a simple drop-stitch technique to create a lovely lacy fabric.
Celebrate the year of Peach Fuzz with blankets, scarves, sweaters, and more. Our Color of The Year Collection gives you so many options — don’t forget to make something for yourself!
