Winter In Spain
A Crochet Collection by MJ’s Off The Hook Designs Featuring Katia Yarns
Bring colour, texture and beautiful handmade layers to your winter wardrobe. Discover eight crochet patterns featuring floral granny squares, statement cables and cozy herringbone stitches, inspired by my time in Spain with Katia and three fellow crochet designers.
Join me for the Winter in Spain Crochet Along beginning November 9, 2026.
Four Designers
A Shared Crochet Adventure
Katia brought me together with the designers behind Bella Coco Crochet, HanJan Crochet and Wilmade in Barcelona for an inspiring experience filled with yarn, creativity and connection.
Each of us brought our own style to the collaboration, creating an individual collection using Katia yarns. Together, those collections form the Barcelona Crochet Collective.
My collection, Winter in Spain, brings together eight garments and accessories designed for cozy days and beautiful winter layering. From colourful granny squares to winding cables and soft herringbone texture, these pieces are meant to be enjoyed making and wearing.
Beginning Nov 9th, 2026

Brisa Herringbone Fingerless Gloves
Keep your hands cozy and your fingers free with these textured fingerless gloves. Herringbone stitches and stretchy ribbed cuffs create a practical accessory that coordinates beautifully with the Brisa Hat, Scarf and Poncho.
Flora Granny Square Cardigan
Floral granny squares, softly flared bell sleeves and delicate shell edging give Flora its romantic charm. Optional cord ties with tassels complete the look, while adjustable body and sleeve lengths let you create a layer that suits your style.
Yarn: Katia Basic Merino
Skill level: Intermediate
Sizes: XS to 5X, with combined sizing
Mariposa Granny Square Sweater
Bold colour meets a feminine silhouette in the Mariposa Sweater. Statement bell sleeves and delicate shell edging frame classic granny squares, while the shifting colours of Katia Azteca make every sweater unique. A cozy wool blend brings warmth to this playful winter layer.
Yarn: Katia Azteca
Skill level: Beginner
Sizes: XS to 5X
Viña Cable Cardigan
Inspired by Spanish grapevines, Viña features interlocking diamonds and winding cables down the back. A V-neckline, buttoned front and ribbed edges give this cardigan a timeless finish. Worked from the top down, it’s a rewarding project for crocheters ready to explore intricate texture.
Yarn: Katia Merino Aran Best Basics
Skill level: Advanced
Sizes: XS to 5X
Zahara Poncho
Beautiful open lacework and oversized motifs make Zahara a statement layer for your winter wardrobe. Four matching motifs come together to create a relaxed silhouette, finished with optional fringe. Wear it over a fitted top or dress to show off the stitchwork.

Brisa Herringbone Scarf
An oversized scarf with beautiful movement, Brisa pairs herringbone texture with the rich colour changes of Katia Azteca. Wrap it close on chilly days or wear it loosely to show off the long, fringed finish.

Family sizing
Brisa Herringbone Hat
Soft herringbone texture, a stretchy ribbed brim and a playful pompom make this hat a cozy winter favourite. Choose a classic fit or a slightly slouchy finish, and coordinate it with the matching Brisa accessories.

Skill level: Beginner
Sizes: Baby to Adult
Three beautiful yarns
Meet the Katia Yarns
Katia Azteca
Beautiful shifting colours bring depth and personality to every project. Used throughout the Mariposa Sweater and Brisa Herringbone designs, this wool-and-acrylic blend lets the yarn tell the colour story while you enjoy the stitches.
Katia Basic Merino
A soft blend of superwash merino and acrylic, Basic Merino brings delicate stitch definition to the Flora Granny Square Cardigan. Choose contrasting shades to highlight the floral motifs or create a softer combination in your favourite colours.
Katia Merino Aran Best Basics
This merino-and-acrylic blend adds warmth and definition to the Viña Cable Cardigan and Zahara Poncho. It highlights both sculpted cables and open lacework, creating two very different winter layers.

BARCELONA CROCHET COLLECTIVE
Discover the Designers Behind the Collective
Katia Yarns brought the four of us together in Spain, and we had so much fun getting to know each other better. We toured their warehouse and offices, explored the countryside, went out on a catamaran, and even had a wool-and-wine tasting at a winery. Somewhere between all the laughs, we talked crochet designs, swapped business ideas and soaked up a little of Spanish life.
Hannah kept us laughing, and Wilma made sure we got the photos and videos we’d be so glad to have later. Without her, we would’ve come home with about half the pictures! Sarah-Jayne has the kindest heart and the quickest wit. She picks up on everything and can send us all into fits of giggles with one perfectly timed comment. I’m so glad this collaboration gave us the chance to spend that time together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Crochet Along Questions
The FREE-to-join Barcelona Crochet Collective Crochet Along begins November 9, 2026.
We’ll be gathering inside the MJ’s Off The Hook Designs Facebook Community, where you can share photos, ask questions and connect with other crocheters.
Choose the design that suits your experience and interests. The collection includes beginner projects, intermediate designs and an advanced cable cardigan. Check the skill level and sizing in each pattern block before choosing.
Yes. All eight Winter in Spain designs include a step-by-step video tutorial.
Yarn quantities depend on your chosen pattern and size. Use the supply list to check the yarn, quantities, hook sizes and additional supplies for your project.
Winter in Spain is MJ’s Off The Hook Designs’ individual collection within the Barcelona Crochet Collective. Each participating designer has a separate collection, which you can explore through the links above.
You can still join the crochet along! If the featured Katia yarns aren’t available where you live, download the Yarn Substitution Guide to explore alternatives for your chosen project. Be sure to check your gauge before you begin!
Yes! Mary Maxim Canada will be carrying kits for my Winter in Spain collection. They aren’t available just yet, so stay tuned. I’ll add the links here once they’re ready to shop.
Look for a similar yarn weight, fibre content and yardage per ball. Always make a gauge swatch before starting, especially for garments. Matching gauge is essential for achieving the intended size, and you may need to adjust your hook size. Buy yarn based on the total yardage required for your size, not the number of balls.
