March Theme: Metropolis

Below you can find more info on the March theme that inspired this group of talented designers, check out photos of the projects that they worked up for you, and check out the colorways for this month!

A city rises between the desert and turquoise seas; the faded chalk colors of stucco create channels for the busy passerby.

If you would like to see the yarns and designs reviewed in video format, check out this video from our very own Community Manager, Aimée Hansen, going over the colorways and giving a great behind-the-scenes look at the inspirations behind the March crate.

Now let's meet this month’s
yarns and colorways:

KnitCrate Knit & Crochet Club

This month, enjoy a specially curated gradient set in the color vibe of your choice. These beautiful colorways appear on the classic Knitologie Worsted, a 100% Superwash Merino worsted weight yarn that's made in Peru exclusively for KnitCrate. Your crate will come with four different colors that together form a gentle gradient. Each individual skein is 112 yds/102 m, totaling 448 yards (409 m)/200g over the four skeins in your crate.

Energize Me: Sunset

Rosy pinks appear, highlighting the bottoms of fluffy clouds as the sun sinks below the horizon line, another day ended. Cheer from the balcony of a high rise as you watch it unfold in this glorious gradient set.

Chill Out: Skies

From mirrored, windowed walls to the skies they scrape--imagine the most beautiful turquoise skies reflected on urban architecture with this set of stunning blue skeins.

All Natural: Dune

Stone and cement, sand and stucco: nature's subtle neutrals unite for this taupe to gray gradient with green and blue undertones.

The Patterns in Knit & Crochet Club for March

Knit Pattern

Hannah Thiessen's Skyscraper Toque is a beautiful colorwork hat that calls to mind the columns of modern architecture. Stroll through the city with this hat that captures the visual interest of city grids created through grid-style colorwork, and stop to take in the sunset while you stay warm in style.

Crochet Pattern

Lori Harrison / Aklori Designs brings us the stunning Sunset in the City scarf made with Tunisian crochet. The center, representing the sun, is worked first, followed by each side. The mini-skeins of the gradient pack fade together to mimic the setting sun, creating a design perfect for both seasoned Tunisian crocheters and those new to the craft.

Sock Knit & Crochet Club

This month's featured sock yarn is the cozy La Brebis Warmer. True to its name, this toasty warm yarn is a mix of 70% Superwash Merino, 20% Suri Alpaca, and 10% Nylon. You will receive one 400 yards (366 m)/100g skein of fingering weight yarn in the color vibe of your choice.

From Top to Bottom:

Chill Out and All Natural: Pavers

How about a little heather? Capture the steely skeleton of skyward arching monoliths with this silvery gray, streaked with a bit of white.

Energize Me: Lace Up

This soft shade is a whispering breath of baby pink, like petals of the softest rose. 

The Patterns in Sock Knit & Crochet Club

Knit Pattern

Cairo Romaguera / CairoDesigns created the Enveloped Socks for a quick, feel-good project that has enough detail to keep you from getting bored while knitting. The geometric symmetry, reminiscent of an envelope, lends visual interest to this cozy and quick-to-knit pair of socks.

Crochet Pattern

Squishy cables abound in the Cityside Cables design from Claire Olivia Golden / Once Upon A Yarn. Post stitches form twisting cables over a background of half-double crochet that's perfect for advanced crocheters and ambitious beginners alike. The leg length can be adjusted to your liking, whether it's an ankle sock or a cozy long cuff.
