Best of 2024

2024 at Purl Soho was all about bringing knitting to life, exploring new possibilities and putting love into every stitch. We made bold use of color with apple-y greens nestled near harvest golds and icy blues tempered by warm chestnut reds. Texture, too, emerged as highlight, in stitch patterns, as well as in the yarns themselves: eyelets, garter ridges, and ribbing in some cases, furry cotton yarn and downy cashmere in others. Use this inspiration as a guidepost for your own 2025 creative triumphs!

We shared more than 50 brand new knitting patterns this year… Here are our favorites!
