Today we’re sharing some of our favorite vacation projects for on-the-go knitting and crocheting. These projects are great when you only want to bring a few skeins on your trip. They’re also perfect for when you want to purchase a few skeins of yarn when you visit a shop while on vacation.

Are you ready to craft on vacation?!? The first real step to being ready for a great vacation project is organizing your materials. We created a free download to help you get started. Click the image below to download it to your desktop. You can use this planning document to keep yourself organized—just fill it out and toss it into your project bag!

Ok, let’s talk quick vacation projects!

Granny Squares

We love a good granny square project. They’re quick, easy to make, give you the chance to play with color, and perfect for on-the-go crafting. Check out our list of 7 Free Granny Square Projects for an awesome selection of hats, bags, slippers, socks, blankets, and more. Want to learn how to make a basic hexagonal granny square? Find a good tutorial (with color inspo!) here.

Comhar Socks

Socks are a fantastic vacation project and a go-to for many knitters on the move. You usually only need a skein or two to make a pair of socks. The Comhar Socks, shown above, call for two skeins of Nature Spun Fingering, but you could also make them with Wildfoote Sock Yarn. We shared 7 Free Sock Patterns one year for Socktober—check them out for a great place to start with knitting socks!

Olivine Top

It’s the summer, so it’s obviously a great time to knit a lacy sleeveless top! The Olivine Top in Cotton Fleece is one of our all-time favorites. It’s effortlessly chic and only takes 2-4 skeins of yarn, depending on your size. We included it in our list of Favorite Summer Tops—which you should definitely check out for more inspiration!

Bliss Tank

Alicia Plummer’s Bliss Tank is such a beautiful and elegant knit, and of course, perfect for the summer. Available for free, the Bliss Tank is perfect for a summer yarn like Cotton Fleece!

Busy Boy Sweater

If you have a baby to knit for, you can’t go wrong with a quick baby knit. Super portable and fast to make, a knit like the Busy Boy Sweater in Cotton Fleece only requires a few skeins of yarn. Download it for free alongside other baby knits on our blog!

Easy Pot Holders (or Blanket Blocks!)

These Easy Pot Holders are knit with Lamb’s Pride Bulky and felted, but this simple and free pattern could be turned into a number of fun knits. Make enough of them, and you can seam them together for a scarf or a blanket. Modular makes are perfect vacation projects! Explore the Easy Pot Holders and more projects that use small amounts of yarn in our Great Scrap Projects post.

Pressed Flowers Kerchief

Amy Kristoffer’s Pressed Flowers Kerchief is an adorable knit—and a great excuse to play with two colors in a fun mosaic pattern! Two skeins of Prairie Spun DK will give you two kerchiefs, so you can reverse your color dominance and see what that looks like. These make great gifts—and it’s never too early to start gift knitting!

Garden Vines Bandana

You would only need a single skein of Nature Spun Sport to knit the Garden Vines Bandana. We love this knit for keeping your hair back on hot summer days. It feels elegant and chic, and could double as a small scarf!

The Simple Thing

Speaking of an elegant and chic scarf, The Simple Thing is made for vacation knitting. You’ll need exactly one skein of Cotton Fleece or Prairie Spun DK. Plus, it’s garter stitch, all the way down? Just knit, knit, knit, knit?? Sign us up.

Cotton Yarn Doesn’t Behave Like Wool Yarn

Be careful when reviewing patterns to determine whether you can substitute a cotton yarn for a wool yarn. Cotton yarn behaves very differently than wool yarn, which can affect the look, behavior, and wear of your finished knit.

You might be accustomed to wool’s elasticity, its resistance to growth, its ability to thwart body odors. Cotton does not have these same abilities. If you’ve ever been stuck in a rain shower wearing cotton, you know it absorbs water, gets heavy on the body, and stays wet for awhile. Wool might absorb a little water, but the lanolin and textured surface allow it to repel a lot of water too! These differences are important when considering pairing appropriate fibers with potential garments.

Here are some important differences between wool and cotton to bear in mind:

Cotton Fleece and Cotton Fine blend wool and cotton, so these yarns offer a “best of both worlds” alternative to yarns solely composed of cotton. However, a generous swatch in the pattern your project calls for will be your best indicator of the yarn’s suitability. Remember to wash and block your swatch as you would your project, too! Read our primer on gauge swatches for detailed instructions on making a good gauge swatch.

Abuse Your Gauge Swatch

Perhaps that headline is a bit facetious. However, if you usually knit a simple gauge swatch that you wash and lay flat to dry, then the following may sound like abuse.

Cotton loves to stretch, especially in length. As mentioned above, it tends to grow under its own weight. If you want to knit a top that is 10 inches long, you might normally knit exactly to 10 inches as per your gauge and call it a day. With cotton, do not be surprised to find that same top has grown to as much as 11.5 to 12 inches after you’ve worn it all day!

When taking a gauge swatch with cotton yarn, knit your swatch to at least 4 inches by 4 inches. You might even want to knit for longer than 4 inches, since you can expect it to grow in length. Wash and block your swatch and then measure it.

Want an even stronger sense of your true gauge with cotton? Take your dried swatch, and use clothes pins to pin it to a clothes line, or even a hanger in your closet. Take more clothes pins and pin them to the bottom of your swatch, to add a little weight to the swatch. Measure your swatch after a day or two. It may have grown quite a bit!

Choose Patterns That Prioritize Drape

Patterns with positive ease (an oversized fit) will work better than patterns with negative ease (a form-fitting silhouette) because the heaviness of cotton lends it a drapey finish. Brown Sheep Company blends wool into Cotton Fleece and Cotton Fine, which give them a bit more bounce and memory, making them more appropriate for a wider range of projects. But if you’re knitting with straight cotton, be mindful of the garment and how it fits!

Cotton can make cables pop because cotton yarns tend to be smooth and show great stitch definition. However, cables require a lot of yarn, bunching up stitches over a shorter span, which lends to the weight of the garment. With cotton, that may stretch out your garment or make it too heavy.

The beauty of cotton is its breathable in warm weather. Garments that prioritize drape, garments with lacy elements, and garments with an oversize fit work very well with cotton. If the garment requires a lot of structure, it may not work well with a cotton yarn.

You Might Need a Different Size—and Type—of Needle

Cotton yarn can be slippery, which means your grip might tighten keeping the right tension on your needles. If you usually work with metal needles, you might need to switch to wooden needles. Some knitters also find the opposite to be true! Switching from wooden needles to metal needles may allow you to loosen your grip and let the knitting flow more smoothly. It’s a matter of personal preference.

The most important thing to remember is that the needles you use for wool may not work as well for you with cotton. The slipperiness of cotton may mean you need to size down on your needles as well to maintain the proper tension. Be open to experimentation. Take breaks when your hands cramp or your fingers or arms get tired.

Your Tension With Cotton Yarn Might Be Wonky

Because of wools elasticity, it’s much easier to maintain an even tension between your knit and purl rows. Cotton gives you no such grace! And because cotton is slippery, you may find yourself pulling tighter on your stitches to try to maintain tension.

Cotton yarns’ lack of elasticity often shows up as a subtle horizontal stripe in plain patterns like stockinette. This striping tells you that your purl rows are slightly looser than your knit rows. For a purl row, the yarn has to travel a smidge more around the needle. Wool’s elasticity tends to smooth out this small difference in yarn length. Cotton’s inelasticity tends to showcase this difference, which means your purl rows may look a bit larger than your knit rows. This is called “rowing out.”

If you find yourself rowing out on purl rows, try knitting your purl rows with a smaller needle. A smaller needle will tighten up purl rows and help smooth out the uneven tension.

We hope these tips help you knit joyfully with cotton yarns like Cotton Fleece and Cotton Fine! Learn more about our cotton yarns in our Spotlight on Cotton Fleece, and explore fun patterns in Our Favorite Summer Projects in Cotton Fleece and Cotton Fine and Our Favorite Summer Tops.

The 2026 Brown Sheep Shawl Mystery Knit Along finished on June 22! We chose two winners—Colleen Elizabeth and Cathy Berkey—who knit gorgeous versions of the Mosaic Magic Shawl by Olya Mikesh:

A big thank you to all of the knitters who participated in this year’s MKAL, both on our social channels and in the Brown Sheep Company Crafters group on Facebook. Knitters chose 3 colors of Lanaloft to knit the Mosaic Magic Shawl. Seeing the colors knitters choose to mix together is always the highlight of the mystery knit along for us!

We created 4 color kits for the Mosaic Magic Shawl.

We selected the above kits (still available for a limited time!) to showcase the colorwork in the Mosaic Magic Shawl. With Mosaic Magic, knitters had the option to choose a light or dark color as their main color, with the two supplemental colors acting as contrast colors. You can read more about our ] choices and see alternate color options here.

Let’s take a look at this year’s participants!

Clue 1

Clue 1 introduced the first two colors of the Mosaic Magic Shawl and the first mosaic motif. It also showcased a simple lace design and a bobble row. Some knitters chose to use beads in place of their bobbles! You can start to see how the same colorways look, depending on which color you choose as the main color.

For example, Charlotte Trout, Kaye Mood, Denise Schmidt, and Connie Lefevre all chose Lilac Bouquet, but opted to start with different colors for the first contrast color. Julia Berg and Jessica Pardue both chose Deep Blue Sea, but Julia used the dark blue as her main color, while Jessica used white as the main color:

---

Clue 2

Clue 2 of the Mosaic Magic Shawl introduced the next mosaic pattern and the third color. Again, it was so interesting to see how different shawls made with the same colors looked, depending on which colors were used for the main color and the contrast colors. Jessica Pardue vs. Julia Berg is a striking example:

---

Clue 3

Clue 3 introduced yet another mosaic pattern—we really love how many different mosaic patterns were incorporated into Olya’s design, and how beautifully they worked together!

---

Clue 4

Clue 4 finished the Mosaic Magic Shawl with a touch more mosaic color work, alongside rippling bands of garter and lace in all 3 colors.

---

We hope knitters enjoyed this year’s mystery knit along! Olya Mikesh’s Mosaic Magic Shawl is a great, beginner-friendly mosaic color work pattern that produces stunning results in Lanaloft. And it’s still available to download for a limited time!

The Brown Sheep Spring Mystery Knit Along launched late last month with Olya Mikesh’s Mosaic Magic Shawl. As the name suggests, Olya’s Mosaic Magic Shawl features mosaic colorwork knitting, a technique we’ve featured in several previous knit alongs. Mosaic colorwork knitting is one of our favorite colorwork techniques. It’s approachable for beginners to colorwork and beginners to knitting in general. If you’ve never knit with more than one color at once, mosaic colorwork is the perfect entry point for learning essential colorwork knitting skills like tensioning, managing more than one ball of yarn, and the importance of contrast.

This guide will teach you all of the essentials for mastering mosaic colorwork knitting. Read it, and then join us for the Mosaic Magic Mystery Shawl Knit Along! We’re offering free shipping on Lanaloft and the Lanaloft kits we designed for the MKAL until May 19 with code MKAL26!

What is Mosaic Colorwork Knitting?

Mosaic colorwork knitting is a technique where two contrasting colors of yarn are knit to create colorwork patterns. It differs from techniques like intarsia and stranded colorwork in that only one color of yarn is ever knit at one time.

This defining factor is what makes mosaic colorwork so beginner friendly. Knitters do not need to hold or carry two yarns at once to achieve seemingly complex colorwork designs. A single color is worked across one row and back (if worked flat), and then a second color is worked, with select stitches of the first color slipped instead of knit to create the pattern.

Note the magenta branching up across the backdrop of white stitches in the second clue of Olya Mikesh’s Spring Meadow Shawl from 2024 (above). In this case, the dark magenta is knit across one row on the right side, then knit back across on the wrong side. Then, the white yarn is knit across on the right side, and select stitches of the dark magenta yarn are not knit, but instead slipped to draw the dark magenta up amidst the white yarn. On the wrong side, the white stitches are worked and the dark magenta stitches are slipped again (more on that in our next section!)

(Usually True) The Color You’re Knitting With Changes Every 2 Rows

More contemporary or advanced mosaic colorwork patterns or patterns in the round may not follow this rule, but the majority do: colors usually only switch every two rows.

This means if you knit across with one color on the right side row, you’ll either purl or knit across with the same color on the wrong side row. This makes your wrong side row very easy to follow—you probably don’t even need to look at the pattern! When you come across stitches in the color you’re knitting, knit (or purl) those stitches. When you come across slip stitches, slip those stitches. We told you mosaic colorwork was easy!

Always Slip As If To Purl

This tip is simple, and good to remember. Mosaic colorwork relies on slipped stitches, so you have to make sure to slip all of your stitches the same way. And, correctly!

• On right side rows: slip as if you are purling with the yarn held in the back
• On wrong side rows, slip as if you are purling with the yarn held in the front

You will always slip stitches as if to purl. Whether your yarn is held in the front or back depends on whether you are looking at a right or wrong side row.

Be Mindful of Your Tension

Because you’re slipping stitches to create the colorwork patterning, it’s very important to be mindful of your tension. The yarn you’re knitting with will “float” behind the unworked slipped stitches. Every time you slip a stitch, you create a float. If you slip multiple stitches, your float needs to be adequately tensioned and proportional to the number of stitches you’ve slipped. Your yarn needs enough slack to travel behind the slipped stitches without puckering.

Achieving good tension takes practice. Be mindful about spreading your stitches out on the right needle as you’re working them, to ensure your floats have a little give to them.

Twist the Yarns When Changing Colors

Mosaic colorwork makes it easy to work with multiple colors because you only knit with one color at a time. However, it’s still a good practice to keep the area where you will switch colors as neat as possible. This will most likely be the right edge of your knitting.

Remember to twist your yarns together when you drop one color to start knitting with the other. A simple twist will keep your right edge neat and tidy, without loose vertical floats of yarn hanging at the side.

Choose Colors with High Contrast

If you’re knitting colorwork, you want contrast. It’s essential to have good contrast between your colors when doing any kind of colorwork—including mosaic. Otherwise, your patterns won’t be crisp, clean, and visible.

If you need help choosing colors, check out 7 Helpful Tips for Colorwork Knitting & Crafting with Color. We talk about color theory, tips for discovering high contrast color pairings, and how to use the color wheel to discover great color schemes.

What do I need to make the shawl?

To make the Spring Meadow Shawl, you’ll need:

• Yarn: Brown Sheep Lanaloft Sport, 50g/145yds per skein, 5 skeins, 3 for MC, 1 each for Color A and Color B.
• Needles: US size 5 (3.75 mm) 21” or longer circular needle, or size to obtain gauge
• Gauge: 21 stitches and 26 rows = 4” (blocked garter stitch)
  Gauge is not critical since this is a one size shawl. However, your gauge will change finished measurement.
• Notions: Tapestry Needle, Scissors

Can you tell me about the MKAL kits?

 

We created 4 Lanaloft Sport Kits just for the MKAL. However, knitters can choose their own colors of Lanaloft Sport. We’re extending free shipping until May 19 on all kit and Lanaloft orders with the code MKAL26.

Can you help me understand which colors work best for MC, Color A, and Color B?

 

The kit colors featured above include the following:

• Deep Blue Sea – Cottage White (MC or Color A/B), Big Surf Blue (Color A/B), Aged Navy (MC or Color A/B)
• Luck Clover – Manor Gray (MC or Color A/B), Scottish Hillside (Color A/B), English Ivy (MC or Color A/B)
• Lilac Bouquet– Buckwheat (MC or Color A/B), Dark Magenta (MC or Color A/B), Plum Delicious (Color A/B)
• Prairie Morning – Golden Meadowlark (MC or Color A/B), Ironwood (Color A/B), English Saddle (MC or Color A/B)

Our kits include two options: knitters can choose either a Light Kit or a Dark Kit. Light Kits feature the lightest color as the main color; Dark Kits feature the darkest color as the main color. The main color in the Mosaic Magic shawl should be considered the background color against which Color A and Color B feature as the mosaic colorwork.

If you prefer a shawl that is largely dark, with light colors popping against a dark background, choose a Dark Kit. If you prefer a shawl that is largely light, with darker colors popping against a light background, choose a Light Kit. Both Color A and Color B are interchangeable in terms of the colorwork.

If you’d like to choose your own colors of Lanaloft, remember that Color A and Color B should “pop” against the Main Color. Color A and Color B don’t interact with each other in the shawl, but they each interact with the Main Color. So, if Colors A and B don’t have great contrast, it’s not really a concern. But Colors A and B both need to contrast with the Main Color.

To sum it up:

• MC, as the name suggests, is your main color and will feature prominently in large sections of the shawl
• Colors A and B don’t interact in the shawl, in terms of colorwork, and so do not need great contrast with each other
• Colors A and B should each have good contrast against the Main Color

Do you have any other color pairing suggestions?

Of course we do! Check out the alternate selections we put together below.

 

Don’t be afraid to come up with your own color selections. Just remember the pairs we referenced above!

Baby knits, on the other hand, are not always designed with babies in mind. Some knitwear designers create baby knits with features that are not very baby-friendly, out of materials that are not very baby-friendly. These designs might be adorable, and you may want to make them for that reason. But before you spend countless hours knitting a baby knit for your own baby or someone else’s, read through these essential tips to see if you’re actually crafting a baby-friendly knit. Otherwise, you might be wasting your time and yarn on something that never comes out of the drawer!

• Prioritize Functionality
• Be Mindful About Button Size, Placement, and Attachment Method
• Avoid Busy Lace & Choking Hazards
• Choose. Soft, Easy Care Yarn
• Keep In A Smoke-Free Environment + Away From Pets

1. Prioritize Functionality

First and foremost, you want to ensure your knit garment or accessory is functional for a baby. Focus on garments that have stretchy necks and cuffs. Babies have large heads, so a larger neckline and a stretchy bind off on the neck are important. Babies also have chubby wrists and ankles, so the cuffs on shirts and pants should also stretch easily. The free Busy Baby Boy Sweater in Cotton Fleece (shown above) is a classic and a perennial favorite among knitters. It features a stretchy neckline and looks great on boys and girls.

Also, be mindful of buttons. Sewing a dozen small pearl buttons on a cardigan may be lovely for an adult, but it doesn’t work for a baby. Please, think of the mother who has to button their baby into that cardigan! That’s a lot of buttoning on a squirmy person who has little-to-no patience for getting dressed.

Speaking of buttons…

2. Be Mindful About Button Size, Placement, and Attachment Method

As mentioned, tiny buttons are a no-go for baby knits. It’s too much for the parent to manage, and a tiny button is a choking hazard for the baby.

If you must include buttons, opt for a larger button. Opt for buttons with 2 or 4 holes, as they are easier to secure than a button with a shank. A larger button should also have large enough holes that you can use yarn to secure your button and weave the end down in the back using duplicate stitch. The Wee Twist Cardigan in Lamb’s Pride Bulky featured in our blog Baby Knits in Brown Sheep Yarns (above)features one big button secured with the same yarn. Yarn is better than thread, as thread can cut through your yarn—especially if small, grabby hands are tugging on the button a lot!

In terms of button placement, avoid buttons on the tops of the shoulders or down the back. Those placements are not comfortable for the baby, who will spend most of their time lying on their back, or getting buckled into a car seat that presses down on their shoulders.

If buttons are too scary, consider i-cord ties or a zipper as an alternative.

3. Avoid Busy Lace & Choking Hazards

The little eyelets sprinkled through the Summer Swing Top in Cotton Fleece (above) are baby-friendly because they’re fairly small and the top is made for an older child.

Knitters should avoid overly lacy fabric with baby knits because tiny fingers and toes can get stuck in the lace and cause injury.

And as much as we love a pom-pom, we would recommend steering clear of pom-pom attachments as they could be a choking hazard. The same can be said for bobbles that are attached after the knitting is completed. Bobbles created while knitting should be ok, as they are part of the fabric and much more difficult for a baby to rip off.

4. Choose a Soft, Easy-Care Yarn

Make it easy on mom and dad and opt for a yarn that is soft, durable, and easy to care for. Ideally, aim for a machine-washable yarn like Cotton Fleece or Stratosphere. Both yarns are machine washable and soft, so they won’t irritate sensitive baby skin. The above Happy Hues Baby Cardigan is knit in 6 colors of Cotton Fleece and is a fabulous knit for a happy baby!

5. Keep in a Smoke-Free Environment + Away From Pets

Most babies have sensitive skin, and many babies are born with allergies that they may or may not grow out of as they get older. It is important, especially if you’re knitting for someone else’s baby, to make sure the knitting is kept in a smoke-free environment, away from pets. Pet dander and fur can stick to knitting and irritate a baby’s skin, nose, and eyes—especially if they have allergies.

If you have lots of furry friends in the house, make sure to thoroughly wash and dry garments and accessories before gifting.
