Fall/Winter 2022/2023 Knitting Trends
Winter is coming whether you like it or not. Scratch that: of course you like it, you're a knitter! Here's a look into the knitting trends for the 2022/2023 fall and winter seasons with upcoming knitting patterns from Garnstudio. You can vote for your favorites to be included in the collection on their website.
Simple shapes
Dropped shoulders galore! This season is all about simple, uncomplicated garment constructions. Drop-shoulder sweaters and straightforward raglans are featured heavily in the new DROPS collection. If you haven't yet embraced the oversized boxy, there's no escaping it this fall.
Solid colors
Simplicity extends to color usage, as well. The majority of items on the new collection are in one color with only a handful of striped sweaters and even fewer colorwork designs. Gone are the days of the colorwork yoke and complicated brioche. Interest is achieved by gansey-style textured patterns, basic cables, or just plain-jane stockinette.
Brown is the new black
Speaking of color use, you can't beat brown this fall. For an ultra trendy sweater for the upcoming seasons, choose yarn in the color of milk chocolate, tan, beige, latte, taupe, or caramel. Brown is certainly not boring!
Pockets, buttons, and plackets
To counterbalance the simple shapes DROPS have introduced a few interesting details in their designs this season. For a chronic handbag-averse knitter the addition of pockets is a welcome trend. The deeper the better!
Henley-style sweaters with button plackets are also in this season. This trend even lends itself to accessories in the form of a button-up cowl-slash-dickie combo.
Honey, I shrunk the shawls
When I started knitting seriously in the mid-aughts, shawls were a one-skein project. Shawl patterns often called for a single skein of sock yarn or (less frequently) lace weight. These days shawls have grown enormously in size, and hit designs like Fade Your Fade or Vertices Unite can take up as much — or even more! — yardage as a sweater.
DROPS wants to dial back shawl size again. The new collection features many examples of kerchief-like, mini-sized shawlettes that are just enough to keep your neck warm — and nothing more.
