February 2026: Table of Contents

This new year, stretch the bonds of your creativity with fresh patterns that balance timeless techniques with modern details, offering pieces that are practical, engaging and a pleasure to knit. From bold stripes to classic cables, you’ll find something to keep you knitting all winter long.

Striped designs take center stage, appearing across accessories, home décor and garments. A cabana-inspired tote and coordinating skinny scarf bring color and portability to your knitting, while a modern log cabin blanket translates a traditional concept into a reversible, texture-rich statement piece. These projects are ideal for knitters who love watching patterns emerge stitch by stitch.

You’ll also find garments that shine through thoughtful engineering and wearable appeal. A lightweight linen sweater pairs airy lace panels with smart shaping for a polished transitional layer, while a sideways-knit pullover turns stripes into striking vertical lines through an addictive, sleeve-to-sleeve construction. To round out the issue, a cable cardigan offers a timeless silhouette with classic details that make it an essential layering piece for changing seasons.

Plus, don’t miss your chance to enter the Yarn Lover’s Dream Gift Basket Giveaway: an exciting bundle of knitting and crochet goodies valued at more than $600.

Happy knitting,
