Universal Yarn Patterns

Universal Yarn patterns cover a wide range of projects, from everyday accessories to statement garments, so the best starting point is thinking about what you want to make and how much yarn you already have on hand.

Choosing a Pattern

If you're new to Universal Yarn patterns, start with a simple accessory like the Universal Yarn Summit Scarf or Universal Yarn Striped Tote before moving on to a fitted piece such as the Universal Yarn Kingston Cardigan or Universal Yarn Coming Around Cardigan. Shawl lovers can look to the Universal Yarn Blue Oak Shawl or Universal Yarn Elizabeth Crescent for a project that showcases variegated or gradient colorways.

Matching Pattern to Yarn

Many Universal Yarn patterns are written specifically for a companion yarn line, so check the pattern notes for the recommended weight and yardage before substituting. The Universal Yarn Color Your World eBook is a helpful resource if you want several patterns designed to work together with coordinating shades. You can browse the complete Universal Yarn collection to find the yarn called for in any pattern.

Beyond Universal Yarn

If you want everything bundled together, the Universal Yarn, Patterns and Kits collection pairs a pattern with its yarn in one kit, which is a convenient way to avoid guesswork on quantity or color.
