Give your stash a glow-up. Lite Bright tee, sweater, and new Loop are 30% off along with all our colorwork patterns through Monday, November 24. Discount applied at checkout, no code needed.

Lite Bright Loop brings all the playful color blending of our fan-favorite Lite Bright and Extra Lite Bright sweaters into a cozy, wearable cowl. This is a stash lover’s dream: grab your leftovers, minis, handspun treasures, or the ends of your sweater fades and turn them into a colorful accessory thats super fun and easy to knit.

Using a simple stranded colorwork motif (no floats), Lite Bright Loop lets you mix shades in a way that feels organic and expressive. Fade boldly, knit softly shifting gradients, or go full confetti explosion, every loop becomes one of a kind.

And because every stash looks different, the pattern is actually 4-in-1, with separate charts for:

• Fingering weight – 5 colors
• Fingering weight – 17 colors (also adaptable to 9 minis for a single-loop)
• DK weight – 5 colors
• DK weight – 19 colors (also adaptable to 10 minis for a single-loop)

Work the whole thing in fingering weight, all in DK, or hold fingering yarn double to meet DK gauge. Our red sample follows the 5-color fingering version, while the green/autumn sample was knit using the DK 5-color version with a mix of DK scraps, handspun, and fingering held double.

Construction Overview

Lite Bright Loop begins with a provisional cast-on and is knit in the round in stranded colorwork to your chosen length. When you’re done, the two ends are joined seamlessly with Kitchener stitch to create a smooth infinity loop that can be worn long or doubled around your neck.

Designed with full creative freedom, you can work from:

• DK leftovers
• Fingering minis
• Handspun
• Fingering held double for marling
• Any mix you love, toss in a bit of worsted, we won’t tell!

Lite Bright Loop isn’t about perfection. It’s about color, curiosity, and using what you have to make something that’s uniquely yours.
