Goodness I love January. It may be a bit cold for some folks up north, but dang if those cold temps don’t bring out some of the most crush-worthy knit designs! There are just so many pretty sweaters to choose from that scrolling through Ravelry is a joy each January. Here are my ten favorites from the dozens and dozens of gorgeous new options from indie designers this month!

Some great picks here! I really love that yoke on Kirigami and the texture on Cozumel!
I wanted to get the pattern for Larch, but the site the link connects to says that the pattern is not available for individual sale :(
Now what?
I’d buy the collection it comes in now, but you could also reach out to the designer/editor to inquire about when it might be available as a single pattern.
The Beat Sweater is really interesting! The colorwork pattern reminds me of a heart beat and that blue yarn, so gorgeous!
