Yarn organization! I've gotten very bad at organizing my yarn stash of late and when I want to knit something in particular, I'm digging through yarn, thinking ‘I know I have this particular skein somewhere.’ So actually, sorting my yarn by weight/fiber is my big resolution next year - STACEY
My New Year’s resolution? Definitely not to finish the 30-ish projects I’ve already started—but maybe to actually jot down my yarn, needles, and pattern edits so when I finally circle back someday, I can see I knew what I was doing all along. - AUBREY
The planner on the following page is for you, Aubrey!

New Year, New Knitting The Knit Picks team is stitching up our 2026 goals. We’re casting on fresh projects, tackling our WIP pile, and organizing our stash one skein at a time.

Measure twice, knit once! I've ended up frogging a number of sweaters this year, mid-project, because I ended up making them too small or too large. I plan to pay more attention to the amount of ease mentioned in a pattern, too, so that I can spend less time recalibrating my stitch count and more time making things that actually fit. - KATE
chaotic right now, so I need to put the yarn and pattern together in project bags to help me remember what I wanted to make when my needles become free - JACKIE
Did you know we now carry della Q storage? The standing Oh Snaps would be perfect for you, Jackie!
Kate, check out page 10 for tips on knitting sweaters that fit like a glove!

Your Perfect-Fit Knit Say goodbye to too-snug sleeves and surprise crop tops! Our simple size guide shows you how to measure, choose ease, and get that made-for-you fit every time.
1
Measure Your Bust Wear a fitted top and wrap your tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Don’t pull too tight, you want a comfortable, natural measurement.
2
Decide Your Ease Ease = how roomy or fitted your sweater feels. 0–2" positive ease: tailored and close to the body 2–4" positive ease: comfy, classic fit 4–6" or more: oversized and cozy .
3
Match Finished Size Look under “Finished Measurements” in your pattern. Choose the size that best matches your bust + ease number. Knit Tip! Measure a sweater in your closet you already love the fit of!
4
Double-Check Fit Compare other measurements, like sleeve length, shoulder width, or total sweater length, to your body or a favorite garment.
5
Make Modifications (If Needed) If something’s off, size up or down or adjust the pattern for a custom fit. You’re the designer here!
Parts of a Sweater: Bust Circumference: Measured around the fullest part of the bust. Shoulder: Measured from neckline to shoulder seam. Hem: Ribbing or edging at the bottom of the body. Neckline/Collar: Ribbing or patterning around the neck. Neck Opening: The opening that lets your head through. Armhole Depth: Measured from shoulder tip straight down to the armpit. Sleeve: Measured by both length and circumference. Cuff: Ribbing or border around the wrist. 8

Spotlight on Mallory Krall
The creative force behind NautiKrall Crochet Tell us about your connection to Knit Picks A classmate introduced me to Wool of the Andes Tweed— it was love at first sight! On a student budget, I slowly built a treasured stash through gifts and special occasions.
How does crocheting comfort you? Yarn became especially meaningful one night while my husband was hospitalized with pneumonia. Seeking comfort, I began crocheting a sunburst granny square blanket, and the enthusiastic response to my color combinations eventually led to the launch of NautiKrall Crochet.

High Desert
Local Wool with a Big Story
High Desert is one of those yarns you fall for the moment it hits your needles. It starts its journey just east of us on RWS-certified ranches in Oregon’s high desert, where Merino and Rambouillet-Merino sheep are raised with care by the Shaniko Wool Company. From there, the wool is processed, spun, and dyed entirely in the United States, giving High Desert a truly homegrown feel from start to finish.
It’s soft, springy, and perfect for sweaters, hats, and textured stitches. The colors are inspired by the land itself, from jewel-toned sunsets to sagebrush greens, and our tweeds even include a shade named after Sadie, one of the ranch sheepdogs.

I am so proud of the High Desert yarn Knit Picks has brought to market, created entirely in America. Our family ranches carry on the timeless work of raising sheep and caring for the land, and this partnership helps shine a light on those traditions. When crafters choose High Desert, they honor that history and help keep these skills alive.– Jeanne Carver, owner of Shaniko Wool Company

Handmade Comfort That Makes a Difference
We're thrilled to share that Shine Sport and Memento are now approved for making Knitted Knockers. To celebrate, from now through the end of February 2026, 20% of sales from Shine Sport will be donated directly to Knitted Knockers to help support their mission and cover shipping costs. Knitted Knockers are handmade breast prostheses for women recovering from mastectomies or lumpectomies. They’re soft, lightweight, and far more comfortable than traditional forms, fitting easily into a regular bra. And despite the name, they aren’t just knitted — they can be crocheted too, making them a wonderful beginner-friendly project for anyone wanting to give back. As of October 2025, more than one million Knitted Knockers have been gifted, each one made with care, compassion, and love by makers like you.
Meet Barbara, founder of Knitted Knockers
Barbara, what inspired you to change lives through Knitted Knockers? The impact of receiving this gift of a soft, light, huggable knitted knocker made by a friend literally changed my life. I put that in my bra and reengaged with life. I was Barb, not Barb with cancer but Barb. We could be that caring friend to them. You’ve inspired knitters all over the world but who inspires you? Myra Woods knitwear designer’s story inspires me!
Every knitter has that one tool they can’t live without. What’s yours? A crochet hook when knitting to pick up and fix dropped stitches/mistakes, not that I ever have any. :) If someone listening wants to start a local Knitted Knockers group, what’s the best first step? I would encourage them to go to the website, knittedknockers.org. Everything you want to know and more is there.

Repeat rounds 1 & 2 until reach number of stitches for the cup size you desire. (Certain sizes need to repeat Round 1- 1 more time to reach desired number of stitches). **See notes for larger sizes. Each size goes up about ½” in diameter. Sizing is a bit of an art. Looser knit will stretch more when stuffed. Stuffed knockers should measure the diameters listed above measured straight across the back from the point to the mid of the opposite side. Turning Rows: P 2 rounds. These two rounds help define the edge between the back and the front of your knocker. Top Piece (W/Out Nipple): Decrease round: K to last 2 sts on each needle, k2tog*** or k2tog tbl.

Stretch and twist I-cord tightly and stitch down all around it to create a small nipple. The completed nipple should be no more than 3/8" across. Final Step To Finish Bottom Piece: Using tapestry needle, weave cast on tail through every other cast-on stitch. This will make a draw-string like closure so the knocker stuffing level can later be adjusted by the wearer. Fill with Premium Poly Fiber Fil™ (optional, we can fill them for you to save on postage.) Do NOT cinch up! **For larger sizes: F (7”) – repeat rounds 1 & 2 – 1 more time. Complete turning rows After the turning rows knit 2 rounds before starting top piece G (7.5”)-repeat rounds 1 & 2 – 2 more times. Complete turning rows After the turning rows knit 4 rounds before starting top piece. H (8”) & Beyond- Repeat rounds 1 & 2 an additional time per size. Complete turning rows. After the turning rows knit 4 rows before starting top piece *** To avoid “laddering” or for a smoother finish the following stitches may be substituted for kfb- (M1R, M1L) or K2tog(K2tog tbl) (K 2 tog through the back loops).
