DROPS Knitting Patterns for Women: Winter

1. Isla Slipover


This knitted slipover is made from Drops Wish, a super-soft yarn made from Alpaca, Cotton, and Wool. Slipovers are a trendy garment that’s a must-have in your winter wardrobe. Hand-knitted ones are definitely the prettiest! You can find the instructions on the Garnstudio website, and Drops Wish yarn is available on our website.

2. Snowy Trails – Monochrome Sweater with Various Edges


This sweater is a joy to knit and to wear. The individual borders (which feature various cables, ribbing, and seed stitch patterns) are challenging, so this project certainly won’t be boring. The sweater will keep you warm because it’s made from DROPS Karisma, a 100% wool yarn. The free pattern can be found on Garnstudio.

P.S.: Do you have a four-legged friend who often gets cold? Then knit this sweater for your dog! (Note: Pets should only wear clothing after consulting with a veterinarian!)

3. Winter Smiles Hat – A thick hat made from DROPS Air


"Winter Smiles" is the name of this hat, and that’s exactly the feeling it conveys. Because you won’t get cold ears so easily when you’re wearing this cozy, thick hipster hat! A quick project for in between with the free pattern from Garnstudio!

4. Monteverde – Chunky sweater made from DROPS Kid Silk and DROPS Wish


We never want to take this sweater off—it’s that comfortable. The oversized look works for any occasion, whether we’re relaxing on the couch at home or going for a walk! The extra-long cuffs on the sleeves are a cute detail on this favorite piece! Slow fashion at its best! Check out the pattern here.

5. Headband and sweater made with Needle Size 4mm using DROPS Alpaca yarn


This set not only keeps you warm, but also looks incredibly chic. It’s knitted with the super-soft and warm DROPS Alpaca yarn, worked in double strands. The sweater stands out with its stunning ribbed pattern. Will you pair two different colors for a mottled effect, or knit these two pieces in a single color? Check out the pattern here.

6. Raglan Cardigan Made from DROPS Kid Silk


We’re big fans of this raglan cardigan, and we’re sure you will be, too! The jacket’s beautiful color comes from knitting together 4 strands of DROPS Kid Silk in four different colors. The result is a cardigan that reminds us of adventures in the woods. With Needle Sizes 7 and 8 mm, this is a cardigan you’ll knit in no time—and it’ll keep you warm right away!

7. Cardigan with a round neckline made from DROPS Melody


Cardigans that fall below the hips are comfortable and can also be worn as a substitute for a jacket in the spring and fall, for example. This cardigan with rounded panels made from DROPS Melody caught our eye right away because, despite its simplicity, it stands out thanks to the unique pattern along the neckline. What color will you knit it in? Download the pattern for free at Garnstudio and order the fuzzy DROPS Melody yarn quickly at Yarnplaza.

8. Headband with filigree cord


We’re really excited about this project because you can knit the headband in just one day, so you’ll have something to keep your ears warm in no time. The headband is knitted with the soft, smooth DROPS Merino Extra Fine yarn, and the pattern is available for free at Garnstudio.

9. Nordic Sweater with Fair Isle Pattern


This sweater is a bit of a challenge because it has a wide, circular yoke with colorwork. But since it’s made with the thick DROPS Nepal or DROPS Alaska yarn, it’s a great project for learning colorwork/Fair Isle knitting—with Needle Sizes 4 and 5.5 mm, it’s easy to pick up! The pattern is available for free at Garnstudio, and you can find both yarns at Yarnplaza, of course.

Of course, there are endless patterns out there, but we’d like to introduce you to a free sock pattern whose design has captivated us. We’d love to get started right away on these heart-patterned socks made with DROPS Fabel. How about you? You can find the free pattern on the Garnstudio website!
