Rose City Yarn Crawl Patterns

We had such a blast during the Rose City Yarn Crawl this year! It was great to see familiar faces and to make new fiber friends. Part of the fun was showcasing the patterns that we wrote to go with this year's theme, "Our Sky Full of Stars." You can find the patterns on Ravelry, or purchase a kit from our website.

Age of Aquarius Poncho

by Heidi Roe

The Age of Aquarius Poncho is a tribute to the peace-and-love era of hippie culture. Its drape calls to mind the bell sleeves of the 1960s, while the zigzagging stripe pattern mimics the astronomical symbol for Aquarius.

The poncho consists of two identical rectangles, featuring an eye-catching zigzag stripe pattern that's easy to learn and fun to knit. The top edges are joined with short seams that create peekaboo sleeves, and ribbing connects and finishes the side armhole openings.

Knit with a combination of Heritage from Cascade Yarns and Stampede Sock, hand-dyed by Fiona Kay Knits, the color combinations alone are out-of-this-world! You'll love making this pattern, plus the finished product is the perfect groovy accessory for an evening of stargazing or the dawning of a new age.

Crying Over Spilled Wine

by Jacob Esbenshade

In Greek mythology, the constellation Aquarius represents a beautiful Trojan prince named Ganymede who was stolen by Zeus to be his immortal cup-bearer on Mount Olympus. This asymmetrical scarf is inspired by both the constellation and the myth.

The cascading lace panels represent the wine flowing out of Ganymede's pitcher, while the ribbing gives a nod to the parallel lines of the classic astronomical symbol for Aquarius. Crocheted with two skeins of Sea Isle from Plymouth Yarn, this scarf is just about the softest thing you can imagine!
