Will you be joining use for Plaid Week this year? This year will be a Plaid Week ReMix. Some very old forgotten plaid patterns will be getting a glamorous glow up! Keep reading to see this year’s projects!
Just as I expected, we are swimming with the avalanche as it takes us from Halloween to Christmas!
And it’s moving swiftly.
Plaid Week is happening much later in the year than I would like, but for this hot mess mama, I am delighted that it is at the very least happening this year.
As I brainstormed ideas several months ago, I realized several of my previous projects were in great need of a serious do-over. I’ve had a few good ideas in years past, but the design process was executed at a lower standard than I am comfortable with, so I wanted to give them a new chance at life.
How to participate:
There are a few ways to follow along:
– Join our Facebook group. I’ll drop all the links there in the main page, as well as in the event tab and the side chat. See the new projects, share any you have made, get social!
– Follow along on the Whistle and Ivy Facebook Page: the link will be shared there daily! If you don’t see them in your feed, click over to my profile and see them all neatly in a row.
– Get the emails.
We all know how social media is a dense, foggy forest that we can’t neither escape nor locate anything useful.
Email is great way to get each day’s links so you don’t miss anything.
WHAT ARE WE MAKING THIS YEAR?
This year will be a Plaid ReMix. We are working on older, forgotten patterns, some of which will be new to you 🫣 I have given them each a make-over (some more extreme than others!) so they can shine like the rest of the plaid pattern collection!
Our projects this year include:
— Half Brim Tartan Plaid Hat – 2 strands of worsted weight yarn (LB Heartland in Redwood, Black Forest; Premier AntiPilling Worsted in Wine.
— Mittens – 2 strands of worsted weight yarn (LB Heartland in Redwood, Black Forest; LB Touch of Alpaca in Crimson.
— Neckwear Bundle: re-releasing long scarf, infinity scarf, leather buckled scarf, triangle cowl; all worked with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn.(LB Heartland in Redwood, Black Forest; Premier AntiPilling Worsted in Wine
— Tree Skirt – #6 Bulky Yarn (Respun Thick and Quick in Whipped Cream, Raven, Silver) smaller size, cleaner edges, less yarn carrying, and smaller center hole! This girl got a total makeover, and boy, did she need it!
— Plaid Pillow – 2 strands of #5 Weight Yarn, OR one strand of #6 weight yarn (Hue and Me; LB Hometown) this little tweak will take this pillow from fall all the way until Christmas!

xoxo,
What a fantastic way to celebrate creativity! Buffalo plaid is such a timeless pattern, and I’m excited to see how it’s reimagined this year.
Thank you Sarah! I hope you like what I do with them <3
Can’t wait for the plaid week 😊
Yay! I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you so much for Plaid Week, it is always so much fun. I cannot seem to find pattern #6. I received emails for the first 5 but not #6. Did I miss something? Thanks.
It was a day late Tina! I had some family things I needed to attend to, but I published it think morning!
Thanks for the inspiration. Previously from your plaid patterns made a Buffalo plaid infinity scarf. This week a link in the text directed me to your plaid pumpkins and created one this weekend. Great for Thanksgiving.
Yay! You are so welcome! Thank you for your support!
I’m doing the happy plaid week dance!!! And I’m doing the plaid week cheer!!! Even Ellen is wearing plaid! And then next is the addition to our nativities!!!! “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”
Thank you thank you Eileen! I am so happy you are excited! Also, I will TRY to get another animal, I can’t promise it! 😬😅
I am excited to see the garment.
I’m looking forward to seeing your items for Plaid Week… I just may need to make something for myself! 😁
YES! I hope you do!
I have the previous years plaid week projects. So fun! I bought some blues to do my favourite colour in plaid!! I can’t wait for next week!!
Yay! Thanks so much for joining!!
Oh man. I’m looking forward to the plaid mittens. I made my older brother the plaid hat for Christmas last year and he loved it. I thought some plaid mittens would be nice to go with the hat. Can’t wait!
Hi Clara! I have plaid mittens from a couple years ago!

It looks like fun. I sure would like to PRINT the lists and details to take to the store with me so I can make sure I have it all on hand.
What a great looking list this year ❤️
I have a question, I bought your Plaid collection several years ago, is the ladies plaid hat come in children’s sizes?
Yes! I have updated it, if you bought it on Ravelry, you should have received an update, but if you got it on Etsy, you have the older version (etsy doesn’t provide a way for me to send updates). Send me an email I will get the newest copy to you!
Hey Beth!!
Just wanted to say hello on here and say how thankful I am for you!! I absolutely LOVE plaid! And I LOVE plaid week so much!! I’ve looked forward to this since the beginning and I know you just had another baby and I’m super thankful you found the time and inspiration to do it again!! I’m over the moon and I am so happy to see your family growing and new plaid patterns to enjoy!!! Thank You so much!!!!
Is the Charcoal Heather (for the afghan) really called just Charcoal? Joann’s doesn’t have one with the Heather name combined with Charcoal.
On the list for the stocking do you mean 1 black for the last on list? You have 1 Red 2X’s?
Thanks so much!
