Spring and summer 2026 knitting trends are here! Elbow-length, roomy sleeves and structured shoulders dominate, replacing sloppy drop shoulders of the last few seasons. Think raglan sleeves and European shoulder construction paired with set-in sleeves. Cables, lace and other stitch patterns are arranged vertically while subtle flared hems, ruffles, and peplums bring a soft, feminine touch. Muted pastels set the tone, punctuated by bold neon stripes for playful contrast.

From cables galore to subtle shades, DROPS Fall 2025/Winter 2026 collection showcases five standout knitting trends. Expect lots of cables, European and saddle shoulders, and full-fashioned shaping that turns increases and decreases into design features. The palette leans neutral but you can spice thing up with color mixing.
