Designer Call: Join the Malabrigo Quickies 2026!
Are you ready to design something small, creative, and full of impact?
Our beloved Malabrigo Quickies program is back — and we’re looking for fresh, inspiring designs that celebrate the joy of fast, beautiful makes.
What Are “Quickies”?
Malabrigo Quickies are all about small knit and crochet projects with big personality — the kind you can finish in a weekend and fall in love with instantly.
Each design uses just one or two hanks of yarn, proving that quick doesn’t have to mean simple — it means smart, stylish, and full of heart.
Themes for 2026
We’re inviting designers to submit original patterns for one (or more!) of these three moods:
1. Lace Lovers
Airy shawls, lightweight scarves, and elegant lace tops — this theme celebrates openwork and texture.
Perfect for our light and luxurious yarns: Lace, Mohair, Silkpaca, Mora, Mechita, Sock, Ultimate Sock (and minis), Arroyo, Susurro.

2. Color Crush
Bright, bold, and full of fun — designs that play with color and energy.
Think joyful knits that make you smile, using Rios, Worsted, Washted, Seis Cabos, Verano, Dos Tierras, or Silky Merino.
