2026 Festival Pattern
Introducing the 1st annual Fiber Fest knitting pattern: the TOGETHER Scarf!
Designed by Susan Willsrud at Calypso Farm, the Together Scarf is a fun and playful knit that uses a clever colorwork technique called shadow knitting (or illusion knitting).
Images or words are invisible when looked at straight on but emerge when looked at from an angle. In this case, the TOGETHER block letters will appear and disappear as the scarf moves!
FREE TO ALL! The TOGETHER Scarf knitting pattern is available to download now for free! Knit it up and then wear it at Fiber Fest!
Knitting kits will also be available for purchase at the Fiber Festival from Calypso and other vendors!
Thank you to our 2026 Sponsors!
