Atlas Insider
Atlas Insider: Winning Streak
It’s hard not to be inspired when working inside a warehouse full of amazing yarn. Ever since the very first tiny sample skein of Atlas came through our doors, I’ve been unable to knit with anything else. It’s actually becoming a problem as I now have a streak that cannot be broken (á la Wordle—current streak 238 TYVM). Ideal weight, texture, and color? For me, it’s always Atlas.
For weeks at MDK HQ, Ann spoke of Amy Christoffers’s Pressed Flowers Shawl and how we should make an Atlas version of it, and that’s when I realized I could both have my cake and eat it too. I would be able to knit with the bold, dreamy Spincycle Dream State—that I’d been eyeing for months—without having to break my Knit-with-Atlas streak!
I worked a small swatch to see how the mosaic pattern would look since it’s been years since my last attempt at mosaic stitch was abandoned in the dustiest corner of my basement studio. Even after reading through the pattern and scouring all the projects on Ravelry, I couldn’t quite figure out how the colors would play out until I started knitting it. After a false start on too-small needles, the project just flew off my needles in a mere couple of weeks.
This is Atlas in Truffle (4 skeins) and Dream state in (top down) Rusted Rainbow, Ghost Ranch, nostalgia, and Stay Ready.
Now, what’s my next project? I already have the perfect yarn in mind . . .

I think the Savage Heart Cardigan is very pretty!
Pressed Flowers Shawl
Felix is the perfect pullover for everyone! Love it!
Love the Albers Shawl!!!
I do love them all but the Lunenburg sweater (I have dear friends who live in Lunenburg MA!) May top the list. Though I’m eyeing the pressed flowers cardigan!
A vest from Knits that Flatter — not hard and the fit is great
Too many beautiful patterns to choose from but leaning towards the pressed flowers shall!
Felix Cardigan was my first truly successful sweater years ago. I have some yarn stashed for the pullover.
Too many beauties to choose from! The Culet top and the Kohrobi sweater are both talking to me. It would have to be a coin flip.
Pressed flowers shawl
Navette is my favorite. Love an elegant poncho!

I love her “Ellen Cardigan”
Pressed flowers
Pressed Flowers, for sure!
Anything Fairisle! ❤️
Pressed flowers
Pressed flowers — hands down!
Pressed Flowers – shawl, hat and cardigan
When is the sock pattern coming out? Right?!
My first favorite Amy Christoffers’ pattern is the Felix cardigan, I’ve made 3! The next is her Pressed Flowers shawl. The ultimate Sheep&Wool encounter-Amy complimented me on my sweater that was her design!
Congrats on both of your streaks! Impressive! So mant favorites, if I have to choose I’ll go with the Pressed Flowers Cardigan
Her Shakerag top – so ingenious!
How to choose? So many beautiful patterns. But, I go with Breckon an older pattern in my Rav library ❤️
Pressed flowers- anything!
Lunenburg!
Shakerag top is my favorite.
She has so many excellent designs it’s hard to choose just one. But that Albers Shawl in Watercolor is divine.
So many to choose from! The pressed flowers designs are all fantastic. But Roost is in my queue to make next.
Hands down…albersshawl…at the moment that is my favorite but hard to choose just one!
Crossvine pullover! I haven’t knit it yet, but it’s in my Ravelry queue for 2023!
Love the Albers shawl! I have been eyeing it since “Field Guide 6:Transparency” was published!
Felix: either or!!!!
Tough choice, but Calibash is pretty nice!
OMG that Pressed Flower Shawl is GORGEOUS!!!! So as I began looking thru other patterns by her I just had to stop & say the Pressed Flower Cardigan!!! I made Beals quite some time ago, & quite likely others…
Your shawl is beautiful, and I love so many of Amy’s designs, but what made me gasp out loud is that I was traveling yesterday and completely forgot to Wordle. Back to 1.
Love so many of her designs! I have made several, most recently the Felix pullover. Albers shawl is now on the top of my favorites list. Looking forward to casting on!
A few minutes after speaking with you lovely ladies at Rhinebeck Sheep n Wool, I meet Amy! She was wearing her pressed flowers. I have to say in person to see it is unbelievably beautiful! Seeing it in pictures, I was not as impressed. So pressed flowers for sure! And it’s in my cue right after holiday knitting is completed!
I just cast on a pressed flowers hat last night!
Felix cardigan!
I have not knit any of Amy’s designs yet, but the Cockleshell Cardigan and the Windsor Cardi are both in my favorites.
What a creative eye!! It’s beautiful with the black contrasting the “dreamy” colorful flowers.
You’ve inspired me!!
My favorite pattern is the Lunenburg Pullover.
Pressed flowers cardigan…on my ever-lengthening to knit list!!
Felix cardigan but pressed flowers is a close second.
Oh dear, how to choose? I love Pressed Flowers, but then—oh look! Kidsilk Haze! For today it’s gonna be the Albers Shawl!
It’s very hard to decide, but I think it’s Pressed Flowers by a slim margin over Albers and Felix.
Pressed flowers hat!
I love anything With the Pressed Flowers design and would love to knit the Albers Shawl sometime in the new year.
She has designed a number of fair isle yoked sweaters— my favorite (it’s hard to choose!) is Grouse Creek.
I love so many of her designs. The cardigan Ausable is my favorite… I purchased the yarn and am ready this winter to get started… I do love how you guys keep showing us a new spin on a pattern, as new yarn emerges! You guys do a wonderful job of showing us so many possibilities! Thanks
The Lundenberg pullover is my favorite. Beautiful yoke!
I have Knitted a couple of her designs. One that I like to wear is Lovage.
My Shakerag sweater is my favorite summer top. I knit it in a delightful orange, not a shocking loud orange but a pretty clementine orange. I wear it a lot and it is a perfect fit. So I must choose this one, which wasn’t an easy choice!
Gosh, so many. I’ve made a list of eight, including Shakerag (which I may attempt someday in a solid version). I can see the beauty of Pressed Flowers especially in those Atlas yarns. That is an artist who chose those colors what with all those bright greens and other vivid shades pushing for attention. But my first Christoffers love was the Laurel cardigan. I love the placement of the cable motif, the fit, the just-enough drape, the length. It hit all my fit and flattery requirements plus it was interesting.
Cali blanket really speaks to me. I would love to tackle that one day…
I love the Felix cardigan —the perfect plain sweater! The Albers shawl is divine.
That shawl! It’s stunning!
The Shakerag Top. I have pattern, I have yarn, but I have trouble carrying the yarn not in use! Hoping to sit down with it in the new year and figure out what I’m doing wrong.
I have a Pressed Flowers in the needles – and now there is a sweater/cardigan version …so many possibilities.
My favorite design is Corinna, a beautiful lace knit scarf. I live in Florida and it’s too hot for anything heavier. Amy Christoffers is such a prolific designer.
The cockleshell cardigan because anything baby is definitely my favorite!
I like both Shakerag top and Albers shawl, both so light and airy.
Thanks .
Felix. I’ve made 2 and am plotting more. Such a fast and satisfying knit.
The Shakerag top! Love it!
Just made the Lunenberg sweater and now I’m inspired to do more Bohus knitting
Pressed Flowers Shawl
Amy Christoffers is one of my favorite designers. I’m currently knitting her Farmhouse cardigan and the Albers Shawl is definitely in my future.
The Felix for sure ❤️
Loving the Albers shawl!
Cali blanket is my favorite – bright colors and turns. Smile-making
I have been eyeing all the Pressed Flower designs!
Shakerag top! I have made three!!!
The Digitalis cardigan—I’ve made it twice. One of my favorite designers.
Kohlrabi Pullover, for sure!
I love the mayfield cardigan. There were so many beauties. It was hard to pick one!
I am torn, on a hat making kick right about now so the pressed flowers hat would be top of my list, followed closely because I need a cardigan is the pressed flowers cardigan.
Shakerag Top
There are a couple of cardigans with pockets I am drawn to, but I love the Pressed Flowers collection because I am dying to try the stitch pattern. I don’t really want a shawl in that triangle shape so I was glad when the hat came out. But then the cardigan came out. But I really want the cardigan in DK weight because I have the perfect DK yarn for the stitch pattern.
The Shakerag top! Fun knit, great fit. I have made 2 and I know there’s at least one more in my future.
Hard to pick! Pressed Flowers shawl is at the top at the moment.
There are many lovely patterns but I’m intrigued today by Beryl – one doesn’t often find an interesting vertical striping.
I really love the Farmhouse Cardigan.
Love the pressed flowers shawl!
Fairlee is my favorite Amy Christoffers pattern. Cozy socks!
Pressed Flowers, in ANY form! Mine is a big long rectangle and it’s my favorite winter wrap.
New Berlin Gansy in Atlas Barn Red would make me happy.
The Cali blanket and the cabled sweaters are all beautiful!
Pressed Flowers shawl.
it’s hard to choose between felix (both of them) and the lunenburg pullover, but if forced: the lunenburg wins for gorgeousness.
Ariana is crochet but I still have it on my must do list.
Pressed flowers.
Definitely the Shakerag Top
Pressed Flowers Cardigan!
Having just completed two Felix sweaters, one pullover, one cardigan, just yesterday, while wearing a third…I would have to say Felix. It is hard to say, I have a other Amy designs in my projects and in my favorites.
I have wanted to knit the Pressed Flowers shawl since it first came out. That is my fave, I think!
Just finished Shakerag. A favorite!
My Amy favorite is Lunenberg, it is in my Queue, although Felix is a close second (made 2)
I love my Shakerag. I have the Felix and the Pressed Flower shawl in my queue.
My favorite Amy Christoffers design depends on the season…in the fall and winter it’s the Felix cardigan and in the spring and summer it’s the Shakerag top. Both fun knits, both fit perfectly and both are favorites in my wardrobe!
My favorite is the pressed flowers but never found the colors I thought I would like – you have inspired me to check out my Spincycle stash!!!
I have so many Amy sweaters already! Hawkbit gets lots of wear as does White Pine. I’m just ending the cuff of the second sleeve on my Pressed Flowers Cardi and can’t wait to wear it.
I have been eying Pressed Flowers and want to do something like yours, with a darker background.
Farmhouse cardi
Pressed flowers!
Well, she is really talented so it is hard to choose but I am
Atrial to Pressed Flowers and Beryl
Love all the pressed flowers!
Corinna…I love a lace weight scarf!
I’m going with the pressed flower cardigan. I just finished the hat and it was so much fun I’m queuing up the cardigan
Shakerag top is my favorite.
Pressed flowers shawl is a favorite but I love many of her designs
Love and happiness cowl
My favorite patterns change all the time, but your pressed flowers shawl is gorgeous and has risen to the top!
You’ve inspired me. I’m going to try the Pressed Flowers pattern with either a deep green or deep blue background. Pressed Flowers speaks to me.
love the pressed flowers hat — to go with the cardigan, shawl, and is there now a pullover? what a designer.
Shakerag top!
Alfama is my favorite design!
So very hard to choose! I happened to open Ravelry for something else entirely when the Pressed Flowers Shawl first released, and I was immediately captivated, so that is probably my favorite. I made the shawl then and have my yarn for the hat and cardigan ready and waiting, along with the Albers Shawl. My Shakerag WIP is patiently awaiting my return and now I want to add some sweaters based on these comments!
I love knitting her hats
FELIX Cardigan!
I love Marisol!
I recently finished a Pressed Flowers shawl, oversized with extra repeats. It’s perfect for keeping warm in cold midwestern winters. Might be my fave thing I’ve ever knitted for myself.
Amy has so many great patterns it’s hard to choose. My current favorite is the Pressed Flowers cardigan
Good Day to All at MDK.
I love Beryl. Stripes going my way.
Pressed flowers cardigan
I have to go with the Pressed Flowers Shawl. It’s one I’ve loved from the moment I saw it, and I plan to make one for myself at some point. (Although I’ll use my handspun yarn for the contrast colors.)
really an unfair question, but right now I am loving “Tove”
Albers shawl, but I saw a sample of the Pressed Flowers cardigan, so I guess it’s a tie.
Pressed Flowers Cardigan
Beryl !!!
Pressed Flowers shawl..or cardigan, I can’t decide.
Wow! 13 pages of designs. Hard to choose a favourite. I like the Lunenberg sweater and the Felix cardigan best.
Pomme de pin cardigan —— I swoon
Both Shakerag and Eula are currently in my queue.
Any and all. Shakerag
The Acer cardigan is my favorite; Second favorite is the Larch cardigan
The Felix cardigan is my favorite!
Felix Cardigan. My dear sister-in-law and I planned a mini KAL. She finished hers with a small intarsia seagull at the back hem. Mine? Not as stunning due to some modifications I made to the already-perfect pattern, but the memory of the messaging back and forth (we were 1000 miles apart) makes it an experience I treasure.
Pressed flowers hat
Pressed flowers shawl – gorgeous
There’s just something about Feather in Your Cap . . .
My favorite Amy Christoffers design is the Felix pullover. I have not made it but it’s on my list. It’s simple with elegant design elements. Her pressed flowers. Shawl is a close second.
I love all of the pressed flowers patterns! I would have to try the shawl in Atlas and Dream State and love the colors you have chosen!
I would have to say that the Pressed Flowers cardigan is my favorite.
I like the look of anything “pressed flowers.” The hat and shawl are on my “to do” list.
The Felix pullover is my favorite.
A quick look at my Ravelry library shows that Amy’s pressed flowers designs are my favorites; I have the hat, shawl, and cardigan on the shelf, though I haven’t started to knit any of them.
roost pullover is beautiful
Pressed Flowers, any variation. Beautiful shawl, Allison!
Pressed flowers! I have the yarn just need to get to that point in the line up.
I just spent a fun time looking through all of Amy’s designs and it was hard to pick just one, but I finally decided I love ‘Ellery’ even though I know my knitting abilities have to improve a lot before I could ever tackle it! (Already get your emails!!). Thanks for the fun opportunity to win.
Albers Shawl and would love to try pressed flowers as I have never done a mosaic
Of the three patterns by Amy Christoffers that I have knit, (Felix Pullover, Rooibos and Acer Cardigan) my heart is with Acer. It was the first cabled sweater I ever knit, and though it was a big learning curve for me, I loved how it turned out. Eight years and it still fits and wears well.
Stonecutter cardigan!!
Shakerag
Lunenburg Pullover
I like her Rooibos design- simple concept and great use of the yarn.
A Pressed Flowers Hat is my “finally done with Christmas knitting” reward project. I. Can’t. Wait!
Shakerag top. Eager to try Albers
Pressed flowers looks inviting! Added to my ‘Gotta Knit Rhis List’.
Movel
Oh, dear, I have quite a few of her designs in my favorites folder, but Pressed Flowers might be my very favorite. I want to make a blanket version.
Lunenburg pullover
I’m running with the crowd on this one, Pressed Flowers anything! The hat is coming on strong!
Pressed flowers shawl! (pressed flowers hat or cardigan would be close second!) 🙂
Love that Albers shawl
Stonecutter’s cardigan
My favorite changes with the seasons. Right now I love the Pressed Flowers hat–because I live in a cold climate where most of us need a warm hat most of the year, and in gifting season because it’s a quick knit and so very pretty!
I like Mabe for a top that I can wear all seasons.
That shawl! Oooh, that shawl!!
My favorite is the felix pullover. I’ve made it several times.
The Maxfield cardigan; just an amazing use of colour
Albers! Love looking at it in all different color combinations. It’s on my list.
Leicester Is grer
Pressed Flowers (already made two and plotting a third) but then again PF is the only one I have tried — yet!
Pressed flowers cardigan!
That’s a tough one but I’m still smitten with Pressed Flowers.
Hen of the Wood shawl – a gorgeous classic. And I would wear it!
The Chiara sweater pattern is beautiful. So many great ones to choose from though. Hard to pick just one.
I have always loved the Albers.
Pressed flowers shawl. I wanted to knit it for so long, and this fall I finally did. I used Dream State also. The background yarn is green, and the Dream State is white with fades of pink and light blue. My shawl looks like flowers (pressed?) on a background of green lawn.
Hands down: Pressed Flowers Shawl!
Donna hat and cowl. Just thinking about how cozy they would be in atlas makes me drool a little.
The Arbela scarf looks pretty stunning!
The Lunenburg Pullover
Any of the pressed flowers patterns!
I’ve been collecting each pattern as it’s been released.
Pressed Flowers, shawl and/or Cardigan ❤
i love the Gold Rush Shawl and have always admired the Pressed flower but have not tried it
I am new to Amy Cristoffers and her beautiful designs. I hope that means I NEED to win! ;). I love the pressed flowers on several of her designs!
Efa or Milligrain
Happy Holidays from Massachusetts! I absolutely love Amy’s “Nia” sweater. Just beautiful!
The Pressed Flowers is beautiful! But, as a quilter, I have to say the Cali Blanket is bold and fun!
It’s is so hard to choose one design, but Gracefield pullover. It has lace and baubles.
I loved knitting the Jamestown sweater!
Shakerag Top! such a good design for warmer climates!
Probably the Dama hat (’tis the season) but I love the pressed flowers!
Hard to choose- Feather In Your Cap, Milk and Honey, or Paper Birch pullover. Such fab talent!
I love the Shakerag top. It is on my list to knit. But the Albers scarf looks like fun!
I like lots but have knit two Shakerag stops and two cockleshell cards for babies
I love the rarebit pullover
I love Catkin … I’ve never knitted a blanket, but if I ever do I think Catkin will be the one!
She’s got a lot of good ones! I’d really like to try that Pressed Flowers.
The pressed flowers shawl for its beauty, the shakerag top for its practicality and wearability.
I’m partial to mosaic patterns, but there are waaay too many to choose just one.
Lunenburg sweater is a favorite of mine. How many colors of atlas would I need?
pressed flowers cardigan
I had my eye on Albers shawl
Felix pullover is my favourite design.
Perrin, without a doubt! It is more than a FAV top for warmer weather; I plan to knit it again, and again
I loved knitting the Jamestown sweater.
Shakerag top is a classic
Pressed flower! Shawl, hat and cardigan!
I love the pressed flowers patterns!
Shakerag top, that I’ve made two of, so far..
The Albers Shawl has been in my queue since I first saw it.
The Albers shawl! Ever since you featured it last month and I immediately added it to my queue. I need more mohair to make it so the kit would be great!
Cloudberry fingerless mitts. They fit well and are so variable — love the pattern, but you can make them striped or plain if you wish.
Love the Felix pullover…..Felix cardigan….. pressed flowers! Amy’s designs are great
With so many options how do I pick just one? So instead I’ll choose one from each category. Cardigan: campus jacket. Pullover: Lunenburg, I love wandering through Lunenburg, NS, and this sweater would fit in so well there! Hat: Manhattan, Mixed Drink #1, the stitch definition! Shawls: Love and Happiness
Since I’m a proud bistitchual, I’ve been wanting to make Ariana since the minute it came out.
Pressed flowers…love mosaic knitting!
The adult version of the baby cardi design in Transparency was a hit-I gifted it to my MIL and she’s cozy and in love with it. I really want to knit the pressed flower cardigan.
Albert Shawl….
When I sorted Amy’s Ravelry designer page by MY favorites, I had 13. I actually knit the Breckon cardigan she did for Brooklyn Tweed (which I wear regularly). And there’s yarn for a Pressed Flowers Cardigan on my laundry room counter. That’s probably my favorite favorite — the one I’m about to knit!
PS Curious about how much larger and/or what adjustments you made to use Atlas for the shawl?
I love her Cali blanket with the geometric quilt-like design.
Larkspur!
Felix – I’ve made three so far, and I’m not done!
Strafford tee has been in my queue for at least 10 years! One of these days…..
Love the Felix pattern, both cardigan and pullover. Also, the pressed flowered collection.
Hands down, my favorite of Amy’s patterns is her Pressed Flowers Shawl. It has been in my queue for a long time. However, I would be delighted to tackle her Albers Shawl too!
Shakerag – I have yet to make it, but I keep thinking about it!
The Pressed Flowers cardi has me absolutely smitten!!
I love Crossvine. It looks the the perfect cableknit sweater. I have some special skeins who would love to become it.
Savage Heart cardigan
Pressed Flowers, hands down. It is just stunning. Three of my knitting group friends have made it, all in different colorways, and it’s been spectacular every time.
Savage Heart Cardigan has been in my queue forever.
Pressed flowers shawl – I picked up a skein of Suburban Stitcher at the DFW Fiberfest to go with something in my stash. Now I just need to finish gift knitting & my wip’s so I can cast it on!
For shawls – Plover. For cardigans – Acer. Both are fabulous
I am really wanting to CO a Felix Cardigan
Shakerag Top. A classic. A friend and I are having an ongoing discussion about the perfect T-shirt. Shakerag is a strong contender.
Of course, while reading this post I have added several items to my project list, with the Pressed Flowers Shawl moving to the top. Anything Spincycle…and is really giving us the full richness of Atlas Truffle.
Pressed flowers cardigan
There are so many but my first pattern yoke cardigan was the Glaswegian and it was soo exciting!
Pressed Flower Cardigan
Favorite would be Pressed Flowers hat.
Shakerag top! The innovation of alternating single and double strands to make ethereal stripes plus its the first sweater for me that I made and it fit!!
Beals – a fun summer top. Also the Farmhouse Cardigan – my kind of look.
Definitely Pressed Flowers!
Hard to decide but I’ll go with the Felix.
Tha Bracken Shawl, but it is a tough choice.
Bento cardigan looks like a fun knit.
Amy has so many wonderful designs. I love this new version of the Pressed Flowers shawl, and just discovered there’s a Pressed Flowers cardigan, too. I’m also partial to the Farmhouse Cardigan.
I bought the yarn for the Pressed Flowers Shawl and then she released the Pressed Flowers Cardigan. Decisions…..
I like her Lunenburg pullover as a cardigan. At some point I want to try colorwork with the added purl stitches.
Pinoli Cardigan!
What’s not to love about a gorgeous, yet casual, full zip hoodie?!
They are all so beautiful but the Pressed Flower hat has been on my mind lately, plus it would be a great way to get some practice in before making g the shawl.
Pressed Flowers. And this is a genius yarn combination!
have to say Pressed Flowers!!
Love all the Transparency designs as well as the Pressed Flowers designs. I also like the Farmhouse cardigan. And many others!
Pressed flowers cardigan
Savage heart makes my pulse quicken
That Alber’s shawl is a beauty! I’ve made at least one Shakerag and have Pressed Flowers hat in my queue.
I love the Firefall Toque. It’s been in my Rav queue for a while. If I could only finish some of my many WIPs, I’d have time to knit it.
Really loving the Pressed Flowers hat right now.
Champlain has been in my favourites for a long time, and the pressed flowers designs are beautiful. And so many more of her designs…
Felix! It’s a classic!
Pressed flowers shawl!
I have knit many sweaters over the years, but these days I pretty much live in one of my Felix Pullovers. I made it to fit like a sweatshirt and it is the best for comfort and wearability.
I love the Ariana cardi
So many but Shakerag tops them for it’s unique style
Just bought the Pressed Flowers Cardi and Felix Cardi. I can’t have only one, can I? Neck and neck which one I’ll knit first…
Lunenburg Pullover.
I LOVE her Pressed Flowers cardigan!
Ariana, because it’s an attractive twist on the Granny Square Sweater. Which I also want
Firefall Toque is the best! I love the “vining” stitches as they climb the hat. Beautiful and no changing colors of yarns required to get the delicate hat!
Definitely pressed flowers shawl!
This is hard because there are so many beautiful designs to choose from. Because I can’t just choose from all of the colorful designs, I’m going to go with the plain and simple, yet absolutely lovely, Faience. It’s a basic and can be worn dressed up or dressed down. And it works up very nicely with the Berocco Pima.
She is one of my favorite designers! I wear her Farmhouse Cardigan all winter long. Both the Pressed Flowers Shawl (waiting with yarn!) and the Lunenberg Pullover are in my queue!
Cider Press set
Felix sweater. One of these days I’ll finally knit it!
Shakerag, of course!
Albers shawl!
Stonecutters Cardigan. I love the all over cables AND it has pockets. (The marmot is cute too)
Pressed flowers hat. Such fun to knit!
So many wonderful designs, but the Felix cardigan is my favorite.
Cali blanket
The Bristol Hat is a beauty!
The pressed flowers cardigan caught my eye a while ago, still mulling it over…
Although it is very difficult to choose a favorite, 2 of my favorites are the Bezel camisole and cardigan.
The Pressed Flowers shawl has been on my wish list for quite a while now
Pressed flowers, cardigan. Then Shakerag… and many more!!
Peek-Trough Cowl
There are way too many patterns to mention as a favorite! I really like her shawl patterns but then I really like her sweater patterns and then I really like the hat and mitten patterns too. YIKES!!!
The pressed flowers patterns caught my eye the first time I saw them on ravelry
Pressed Flowers hat…in my queue
Pressed flowers shawl for sure!!!
Amy Christoffers is so very talented, that I have to give two of her designs my shout out for “best”: Lunenberg Pullover … perfect… and Pressed Flowers shawl.
Love the botanical print vibe of your version with “Truffle”, Allison. Atlas and Dream State are a perfect combo for this pattern.
(I’d also nominate Albers shawl and Felix Cardigan but you’d all be justified in heckling me for nominating four “best”s!!)
Pressed flowers anything. It has been in my radar for while. Have to get thru the baby stuff first
All the Pressed Flower patterns
I’d have to go with the Albers Shawl although Pressed Flowers is a favorite, too.
Pressed Flowers, followed closely by Peppercorn.
I think maybe Anique. Or Rhian. Or…
I love the pressed flower shawl. Making a second one! A fun knit!
Felix Cardigan!
Pressed Flowers!
Shakerag top!
I knit Pressed Flowers. I used Rowan Felted Tweed. It was such an enjoyable knit.
She has over 600 patterns on ravelry! How do you choose just one? Maybe the adorable Cockleshell Cardigan?
I like the Shortest Day shawl. There are many that are beautiful!!
Pressed Flowers Shawl. I’m making it now.
That pressed flowers shawl is absolutely a goal!
Pressed Flowers Hat
Several of her summery tops are vying for my attention – I think some mash-up of Shakerag with either Patti or Breakwater is going to win.
Although the Windsor Cardi is also screaming my name…what to do, what to do?
This has got to be my favorite Amy Christoferrs design. Especially with the variegated Spincycle Dream State yarn for the flowers. I also like that the Spincycle yarn is a bit finer so the spots coming through the main color yarn are much smaller.
The Camp Pullover looks so cozy!
Any of the Pressed Flowers.
The Lunenberg Pullover.
I was enthralled with the Albers article from a couple of weeks ago.
Pressed flowers cardigan!
Cambria. It’s simple and easy to knit. It makes a nice 4 season sweater with cotton yarn. Can change the look by going for bright or soft colors.
I LOVE the Shakerag Top!!
Probably the Gracefield pullover but my goodness it is hard to choose!
Pressed flowers shawl is a favorite. I would love to make another one out of Atlas in the colors shown but there is no truffle left. Any idea when it might be restocked??
The Savage Heart cardigan
Shakerag
My favorite is the Pressed Flowers cardigan but I also love the Felix cardi AND pullover.
Point Judith Pullover. Beautiful.
So many favourites! But the one I’ve knit more than once is the Felix cardigan….for myself and gifts.
I love the Bracken Shawl. It’s Entrelac and just love the geometric look.
Savage Heart Cardigan
With no hesitation – Shakerag Top! Love that design.
I don’t know if it’s my absolute favorite, but I’m knitting the Felix Pullover as I write this, and it’s everything I need in a knitting project at the moment. I cannot wait to wear it.
That’s hard! But Pressed Flowers Cardigan and Pim are a good start for me
Antique, simple, versatile
That is a tough one! I will say the milk and honey cardigan.
Stowe pullover
So many great designs.
Westland Sweater is beautiful!
Pressed Flowers has been on my to knit list for the last year. Any has some real beauties! I also really like the look of the Keaton poncho/ruana. But that much stockinette might make me want to hurt someone.
Already signed up. Favorite AC pattern would be Pressed Flowers Cardigan. Happy Holidays and thanks for the giveaway!
Isi Shawl, the only pattern by Amy that I’ve knitted. So many beautiful choices…
I think Pressed Flowers is the most beautiful design I’ve seen – lovely result and it looks fun to knit, too, which doesn’t always coincide!
I knit the [Savage Heart Cardigan] and it’s a winner! Love that pattern.
Shakerag top. I’ve made two!
Lunenberg, I think, I have three of her patters waiting for me, she’s great!!
Beryl looks like an interesting sideways pattern.
Itzel
Basse Taille
Lunenburg Pullover
Really love the Vajen top!!
Pressed flowers
Perehta- a beautiful casual cardigan that will complement anything.
I love the Felix Cardigan.
Pressed flowers cardigan
The Pressed Flowers cardigan is gorgeous! But I haven’t checked out All of her patterns yet!
Definitely the pressed flowers shawl. I have two different versions on the needles now!
Toss up between the Felix Cardigan and the Savage Heart Cardigan. I love knitting from her patterns!!
I love the Felix Pullover. It was a quick wonderful wear everyday sweater!
OOOOH! I completely forgot about the Savage Heart Cardigan…knit two of these…one for my baby granddaughter and one for my teen granddaughter!!!!
Field Hat
Her Langley sweater is just beautiful!
Lot’s of beautiful designs. If I’m honest with myself Lucienne or If Sun Comes Out are the ones I am most likely to make since every time I see them I start mentally stash diving.
absolutely Pressed Flowers. It’s been in my queue for a bit and KAL’s that I couldn’t resist keeps pushing down the queue. It’s on my “must knit” list for 2023. No more pushing down the queue!
There are many but I especially like her Serra Turtleneck and Felix Pullover. I think both would be yummy knit up in Atlas.
Pressed Flowers Shawl – up next along with finishing Kaffe’s gigantic throw!
My fave Amy Christoffers design is…all of them? I’m currently swatching for Pressed Flowers cardigan in Anne Choi’s beautiful Vintage no. 8 and DreamState. I’ve knit Larue, and drooled over the beautiful Selvedge cardigan from Knit.Wear. Do you remember that magazine? It was filled with elegant lines and wonderful adult colors. I miss it. There is, of course, the oft-imitated, never-bested Shaker Rag top from your own Field Guide #6: Transparency. She is a fabulous designer.
The next project in my queue! It’s the Canton sweater that she designed for Berroco. I’ve got it kitted & ready to go.
The Roost Pullover is exquisite!
Beals!
There are many of her patterns that have called out to me. I like the Savage Heart Cardigan and also the Shakerag top. They are on my “to knit” list.
Albers shawl!
BIG FAN OF Amy C!! But I think my fav may be the Pressed Flowers Shawl.
The pressed flower motif is the winner – no matter where you use it – hat, scarf, mittens, cowl, vest, sweater……, it’s versatile and just challenging enough to make whatever you’re knitting more interesting. So, I don’t vote for a particular design but for the motif itself.
Recently did a pressed flower hat and now i’m hooked on the pattern and need to try it in diff incarnations…quite possibly a sweater!
My favorite Amy Christoffer design is the Felix pullover. It’s such a classic basic! Everyone should have one!
Pheasant pullover
Pressed flowers – shawl or cardigan!
I love the Pressed Flowers shawl, but also the Firefall Toque. Both are beautiful!
Albers shawl and Felix pullover! Also love the fair isles!
The Albers shawl even though I haven’t made it yet.
I’ve never knit an Amy Christoffer’s pattern, but have looked at the Felix pullover many times. I would like to knit one.
I am dreaming of knitting the Felix cardigan.
The pressed flowers shawl of course! 🙂
How to pick one design!!! I would like to make Tay- such a classically beautiful sweater, but then there are all of the mosaic designs that are so intriguing that I would like to try. Yes and yes!
Honestly, I’ve not checked out any of her patterns. I’m trying to get back into knitting.
That’s a stunner of a pressed flowers. Wowzie.
Pressed flowers and shakerag might be tied for how close I’ve been to casting on (but haven’t yet).
That pressed flower shawl is on my to do list. I just love it. I’m looking forward to that in 2023. I want to gift to my sister who is retiring from teaching this spring.
Cider Press hat for the win! It’s simple but great unisex hat gift!
The Nia pullover clean lines, A-line fit.
shakerag top along with so many of her other designs!
I absolutely love the Pressed Flowers cardigan!

Shakerag Top – someday I’ll make one
Cali blanket is a fun twist for knitters who also love quilting. But I love Amy Christoffers’ Pressed Flowers cardigan.
Close your eyes and pick anything and you’ll come up with a winner .

Favorite design is Beryl.
Mayfield Cardi. But that Pressed Flowers Shawl will get made!!!
Lace Dolman Jacket
I just saw the Roam Tunic and it looks to be the coziest layering piece for this weather in NYC. My apartment is toasty but everywhere else is not. Happy holidays everyone! Stay warm!
Just one favorite? Hmmm, I love her Felix ❤️
Pressed flowers shawl! Such a lovely design.
It’s the Pressed flowers shawl which will be my New Year’s Eve caston.

Milk and honey cardi is my fav
I love the Lunenburg Pullover and anything Pressed Flowers. She is so talented!
Bixby
Pressed flowers shawl
No (well, somewhat) problem picking my favorite Amy Christoffers’ pattern. It’s Valeria – a supremely knit-able & wearable cardigan. It’s the cardigan that waits patiently flung over the arm of my favorite chair, waiting for that chilly time of day.
I love the Albee’s shawl. The watercolor colorway reminds me of a Pendleton blanket in the Glacier design. And it is so cool to juxtapose in my mind the airiness of the shawl with the weight of the wool blanket.
Best user name is dumela, Hello in Setswana, the language of Botswana.
Lousious is my favorite Amy Christoffers that I’ve knit. I scrolled through a few pages of her patterns on Ravelry and NEED to try Feather In My Hat—-too cool!
Pressed flowers
Love and Happiness! Because, how could it be otherwise?
I love her! I’m knitting Point Judith currently, with the Camp Pullover up next!
Definitely the pressed Flowers Shawl!!

Albers Shawl in the blue colors but there are so many other possible colors to try too.
My favorite pattern of hers is The Felix Pullover!
Old Friend. And I’d love to knit it in Atlas!
Love the Savage Heart Cardigan
Shakerag Top is a great pattern. Loved making and wearing it. So clever.
Albert shawl is so incredible – color technique is so amazing, peaceful and calming!
Well, the Lunenburg Pullover of course. Ever since I went to Lunenburg, NS, it’s been in my queue.
The pressed flowers shawl. I bought the pattern but haven’t made it yet.
My favorite is Stowe – both the design and the place.
I really love her Bracken Shawl pattern, and I’d love to make any of the yoke sweater patterns.
I’m a sucker for cardigans, so can’t decide between White Pines and the Glaswegian. In a perfect world, I’d be working on both right now!
The Kohlrabi pullover is currently my favorite Christofers design.
Shakerrag top. On my needles and in my knitting bowl currently.
Love my Savage heart cardi but can’t wait to knit up a Pressed flowers one.

So many choices but Felix, both the cardi and the pullover.
Pressed Flowers cardi . Delish swish and rainbows!
Felix is in my queue, but I’m also going to give Beryl a try!
I like your hats! On my second Cote Nord and my first Bristol. I have had Long Sands cardi in my queue forevah…
I love her sweaters! Lunenburg or Ryder are high on the list!
I’ve had my eye of Amy’s Pressed Flowers Cardigan which I’d love to knit in Atlas, of course.
Albers shawl- I’ve been eyeing that one for a while now!
Maxfield cardigan. It is a work of art!
2000jetta
So many beautiful patterns she’s designed but going with the Pressed Flowers Shawl for this comment. All are lovely!
If Sun Comes. That is so beautiful
Firefall Toque. Nothing like a great design on a hat using only one color.
Jamestown sweater
I’m working on a Transparency scarf and not getting the look that I was looking for. My dilemma is whether to abandon and start over or plug along.
The Felix pullover. It is at the top of my queue.
I love the Star Anise mittens!
G.E.O.R.G.E.!!!
Savage Heart
The albers shawl had been on my list for awhile!
I enjoy the cables of the White Pine cardigan.
Thr Gild Rush Shawl is spectacular!
The Albers Shawl is lovely!
Hard to choose! I loved knitting the pressed flowers shawl… also dreaming of the pheasant pullover…
Cali. I love to make quilts!
Love, love her Pressed Flowers Hat!
Larch cardigan!
I love the Albers Shawl & knit one in linen; great for summertime! I am a big fan of Anni Albers generally, so it is hard to top this design for me.
She has so many patterns that I love but right now I’m loving the Kohlrabi Pullover pattern!
It’s hard to be a knitter in Texas. I search for tops I can make in cotton or linen. I liked the Shakerag top when I first saw it. Finally bought some azure cotton and made it several years ago. It’s a staple in my wardrobe, very wearable and gets lots of notice.
Most definitely the Albers Shawl!
I am in love with the pressed flowers cardigan!
Love the Mira hat.
The pressed flowers hat! Can’t wait to cast that one on next
Just starting to move from accessories (lots of scarves and shawls) to garments (simple sweaters), and the Shakerag looks brilliant.
I doubt I could love any pattern more than The Pressed Flower Shawl!
Love, love, love the pressed flowers cardigan!

❤️❤️ the pressed flowers shawl and the Albers shawl. It’s so hard to choose. Thanks for sharing that beautiful new version of the pressed flowers!
Pressed flowers shawl
So many beautiful patterns, but I’d love to make the Keeler cardigan.
Pressed flowers shawl! I am to the edging on mine and can’t wait to use it.
My very first sweater 10 years ago was an Amy Christoffer’s design called the Moxie Pullover. I still wear the sweater and get many compliments. I then knit another in a fade. Love it.
I love her cabled Lazy Jack’s hat so much.
Merry Christmas!
Pressed Flowers has been in my Ravelry Favorites for years!
Pressed flowers shawl
Long Sands Cardigan or Lovage or Long Sands Cardigan or Lovage…do I have to pick just one!?
I’ve had my eye on a number of patterns for sometime — my favorite is probably North Star Cardigan (but I have yet to actually knit it; it reminds me of Jeanette Sloan’s Mood Cardigan).
Kohlrabi Pullover – beautiful!
Oh my goodness – all of them!! I’m getting reading to cast on the Lunenburg pullover
That’s beautiful.
BTW, many of us broke our Wordle streaks last Friday in support of a walkout by the NYT staffers …
I like her lunenberg pullover- actually all of her pullovers.
I have a Shakerag top in progress, yum! But for sheer whimsy, I think the George shawl is tops.
I’m a fan of the Albers Shawl and would love a free kit to knit it!
I can’t stop at one! I have 3 favorites: 1) Liva, a long cardi with pockets which makes such great use of the color changing yarn; 2) Ariana, a granny square cardi which also makes such great use of the color changing yarn; and Adara, a long-sleeved simple pullover with a pretty arm detail
Pressed flowers shawl is my favorite design
Crossvine. All the joy and fun of cables minus the bulk.
I love and want to knit the Pheasant Pullover.
Love the Pressed Flowers Shawl — especially in the darker colors!!
Love the Ryder Pullover— nothing fancy, yet very elegant!
I love the Cali blanket as I used to piece quilt tops for a friend.
I really like the pressed flowers cardigan!
Pressed Flowers, for sure! I haven’t made one yet but will soon cast-on…very soon!
Well, crap. I just went down the ravelry rabbit hole. I had no idea she was thus prolific!
I will have to say that the Lunenberg pullover made it into my queue.
Acre cardigan
For me it’s a tie between the Pressed Flowers Shawl and the Felix cardigan.

I’ve got my eye on Pressed Flowers for now.
the Canton pullover! love the colorwork, and i live in Canton 🙂
Albers shawl
I love the Pressed Flowers shawl
The Albers Shawl is gorgeous and I love anything with granny squares so Ariana is a close second
Grenadine is my favourite design. A practical dress up or down cardigan/jacket perfect for mid season
I love seeing the pressed flowers shawl, and when she came out with a matching hat – be still my heart! If I could just fit Spincycle in my budget….
The Shortest Day Shawl. So warm and cosy in a cold winter.
The Felix pullover AND cardigan are favorites. I’ve knit two of each!
I love the Beryl tee. Perfect for someone like me who struggles with wooly stuff and also great because off the color changes.
Ninetta – I have the pattern and the daughter who will be the recipient of this adorable collar! Now, to get the right yarn for the project and to find the time to knit it…
I love the Cockleshell Cardigan.
The Saphiret cardigan! I would wear that often.
Plover shawl!
I like the Pressed Flowers. It is on my “someday” list.
Larch cardigan; I like the collar because I have short hair and it keeps my neck warm.
Looking forward to making the Felix cardigan and the pressed flowers hat!
Felix Cardigan. It’s waiting for me in 2023.
Shakerag top
The Bracken shawl looks interesting. I would like to learn entrelac knitting as a new technique of knitting skills.
I love pressed flowers in all its iterations.
I like the Felix cardigan sometimes classic and cozy is just what you need.
I love the Ariana crochet cardi, and all of the pressed flowers patterns!!
Donna Cowl! So beautiful!

The Felix sweater. I love mine in a pumpkin-y tweed.
I could really see myself in a Campus jacket or selvedge cardigan. I love Amy’s updated classics. That pressed flowers shawl is stunning, though. . . . . <3
Westland
I vote for Ariana. It gives the craftsperson an ability to incorporate a variety of colors and two skills!
I love knitting shawls!
So many great patterns but Lunenberg keeps catching my eye very time I see it.
Roost pullover!
The Pressed Flowers shawl is definitely one of my favorites, though I haven’t started it yet. It is on my list of projects for myself. I love her Cockleshell Cardigan for baby gifts.
The classic Felix Pullover is my favorite. Thanks.
The Pressed Flowers Shawl is one of my favorites!
Pressed flowers shawl!
Truly an unfair question with so many great ones to choose from. Pomme de Pin.
The Albers Shawl is amazing. A friend just finished hers. I want to be next!
pressed flowers it is!!
I have had the Pressed Flowers Shawl in my queue for quite a bit while mulling over colors. It will definitely be casted on (is that the right tense?) sometime in 2023.
Pressed Flowers is first, with Pressed Cardigan a close second!
