MDK March Mayhem 2019, Round 3: Vote Now
Note: Voting for Round 3 is now closed. Thank you for your votes! Please be sure to come back on Tuesday, April 2, to see the eight patterns that have advanced to Round 4—and to cast your votes for your favorite four designs.
Dear knitters across the globe,
We are loving these patterns more than ever. Remember: this is not Survivor. Nobody’s getting voted off the island. The 64 patterns featured in MDK March Mayhem are alive and well and delighting knitters every single day. If a favorite of yours has not advanced to Round 3, go give the designer a high five and buy that pattern!
That said, it is fascinating to see the designs that have moved on to Round 3. Our own personal brackets are a mishmosh at this point, testament to the fact that personal taste is everything when it comes to picking a knitting pattern.
So: it’s time to vote in Round 3 of MDK March Mayhem.
Note: Round 3 voting will be open for three days, March 29, 30, and 31. Be sure to get your votes in!

savage heart is out?! Noooooooo! (lol.) That’s okay it is still in my queue on Ravelry.
Cristina’s Savage Heart, in Spud & Chloe Sweater, is perfection. Mine was perfect travel knitting last summer, and I wear it all the time.
Any pilling?
I bought Savage Heart. I am thinking of using the Rowan Cotton Cashmere. I want it to be a summer top. My only favorites that are left are in the wrap category. And one of the hats.
I feel like I should get a cool “I Voted” sticker! Continuing on my plan to buy one of my favorites that was eliminated in the round, I just popped over and bought Arrow. Been pulling out the bulky yarn to see what I have for Cardizen (Round 1 purchase) and it seems I have more than I thought.
I love that you are doing this. Arrow is going to be on my needles too, in Douillet.
I love Cardizen too!! In my queu for sure;)
Sheffield out? It’s high on my to-do list, along with For Fox Sake and…okay, so everything is incredible! So many wonderful patterns, thanks to all these amazing creative folks. Keep calm and knit on.
Arrow is out?!? *flips table*
Oh, totally agree. I will buy and make it!
I know right? We can still knit it. That is a great consolation. I also simply must make a wee Cardizen, just have to locate a wee person. Too cute at that scale, or any scale.
Wait – how did I miss the second round? I’ve obviously been way too busy this week!
Me too! There’s still a couple I love in it.
Wow, I feel very out of sync with the votes this year. I will be buying some who didn’t make the cut, for sure. Thank you for this wonderful mayhem.
Out of the Sweet 16, only 2 of my bracket picks didn’t make it! I wish my NCAA picks were half as good. I picked Tennessee to go all the way. D’oh!
Your brackets are way more fun than those dumb basketball ones!
Go Vols!
Only 10 of my 16 made it, but that’s an improvement over round 1 when only 12 of my 24 made it, haha
OH… we are up to Round 3 already. I didn’t receive an email about Round2!
All 64 patterns are truly great, but I am disappointed with the lack of diversity in this round! We seem to be proving what some BIPOC and male makers have told us. Is it just me?
