It’s been getting chilly here in the Bay Area, which means I’ve officially entered the season of grabbing every extra layer within arm’s reach. Thankfully, the timing couldn’t be better — I just put the finishing touches on my latest designs, and they’re absolutely perfect for easing into the winter months in style and warmth.
Say hello to The Newport Set!
This set has been a long time coming, starting with the cowl — an older design that originally appeared in a Crochet Society subscription box. After the box was released, I realized I’d never shared the pattern on my own, and it’s been sitting patiently on my to-do list ever since. Instead of releasing it on its own, I thought it deserved a little glow-up, and what better way than by adding coordinating pieces to complete the look?
The Newport Set includes patterns for a cowl, beanie, and fingerless mitts, all featuring the same cozy stitch texture and modern color-blocking style. Worked up in Lion Brand’s Color Theory, the pieces are soft, durable, and available in a gorgeous range of coordinating shades, making it nearly impossible to pick just one combination. No matter which two colors you choose, your set is sure to turn heads.
Pattern Features
Each piece in the Newport Set was designed to be both practical and enjoyable to make. The stitches are rhythmic and beginner-friendly while still offering enough interest to keep more experienced crocheters engaged. And to make the process even easier, every pattern includes step-by-step video tutorials that walk you through exactly how to work the techniques used throughout the set. If you’re a visual learner or trying something new, you’ll feel supported every step of the way.
The result? A polished, mix-and-match accessory set you’ll reach for all season long — and one that makes a fantastic handmade gift, too.
