Year of Color is a free year-long make-along with Cascade Yarns. Each month introduces a new color palette, a color theory concept, and free blanket square patterns in Cascade Heritage fingering weight.
Squares are designed to look more complex than they are. Techniques build month to month.
This page collects every pattern as it publishes. Start with January or jump to the current month. Bookmark it, or join free to get each release in your inbox along with the monthly color education series.
