Happy Solstice, fellow knitters! I am happy to share with you a complimentary copy of my latest design, Solstice Musing Mittens. Don’t forget to also grab a copy of its sister pattern, Solstice Musing Hat! No code needed. No retroactive adjustments. Must check out each pattern separately for the free copy. Ends Monday, 12/22/2025.

This design was inspired by the quietude of winter solstice.
I envisioned a peaceful, white wintry landscape and the golden warmth of loved ones gathered by a crackling hearth. May the celestial magic of winter solstice inspire your stitches and bring you joy now and into the new year.
