100+ O’Go Yarn Patterns: Free, Knit and Crochet Patterns…

Earlier this week I was thrilled to share my review of the new yarn O’Go with you. This is a totally new format of yarn delivery, available for four different popular yarn types. Each of the yarns comes in lots of different colorways. And now Yarnspirations has rounded up more than 100 O’Go Yarn patterns for you to use. There are both knit and crochet patterns for each yarn in different skill levels. There’s a project for everyone. We’ve broken down these categories below with easy links to each section that might interest you. Plus, we’ve shared some of our favorite patterns from the collection.

Quick Recap On O’Go Yarn

O’Go isn’t a brand new yarn. Instead, it’s a new format of delivery for some of your favorite yarns. Some yarn comes in balls, others in skeins … now you also have the option of O’Go. It’s a super smooth approach to easily getting the yarn from where it’s start onto your hooks or needles. Plus it offers convenience when playing with the different colors within the same O’Go. Again, check out my full review here; scroll down on that post to see the YouTube video showcasing what I’m loving about it.

Four Yarn Options for O’Go Yarn Patterns

There are currently four different O’Go yarns:

• Bernat Blanket – #6 super bulky weight yarn
• Caron Big Donut – #4 worsted weight yar
• Caron Colorama – #5 bulky weight yarn
• Red Heart Super Saver – #4 worsted weight yarn

There are different patterns associated with each one. If you have a preferred option among these yarns, then you can use the filtering tool on the website to choose the yarn you want to work with. Or, of course, if you’ve already purchased one or two of these yarns, then that’s another reason to filter the patterns in this way.

Here’s one example of O’Go Yarn patterns we like from each of the four options:

1. Bernat Blanket

2. Caron Big Donut

3. Caron Colorama

4. Red Heart Super Saver

Frequently Asked Questions

What is O’Go yarn?

O’Go is Red Heart’s innovative “tangle-free” yarn format… instead of a traditional skein or cake, it comes in a unique stretchable container that lets you pull the yarn out without it tangling. The yarn feeds smoothly from its special packaging without knotting or collapsing. It’s a brilliant solution to one of the most frustrating aspects of working from a center-pull cake! With 100+ compatible patterns available, it’s a format designed to make your crafting experience as smooth as the yarn itself.

Why is tangle-free yarn such a big deal?

Anyone who’s had a center-pull cake collapse into a tangled nightmare in the middle of a project knows the frustration! Regular yarn cakes can collapse and bunch up as you work, creating tangled messes that take ages to fix. O’Go’s special container format prevents this… the yarn feeds out cleanly without the inner section collapsing. For projects where you’re pulling from the center of a ball or cake, this is genuinely a quality-of-life improvement. Less fighting with your yarn means more enjoying the actual crafting.

What kinds of projects work best with O’Go yarn?

Any project where you’d normally use a center-pull cake! Blankets, scarves, hats, shawls, amigurumi… the format works for anything. Projects that use the whole skein without color changes benefit most from the tangle-free format because you’re pulling from it continuously for a long time. The 100+ patterns in this collection span all types of projects at various skill levels. Check the pattern that appeals to you… it will specify any specific yarn requirements within the O’Go line.

Can I substitute regular Red Heart yarn for O’Go patterns?

Yes! O’Go is a different format, not a different yarn fiber or weight. If a pattern calls for O’Go in a specific color and you have a compatible Red Heart yarn in the same weight and similar yardage… it’ll work. Check that the weight and yardage match, and check if the color you want is available in O’Go or in a compatible Red Heart line. The tangle-free benefit is lost when you substitute, but the knitting and crocheting results will be the same.

Is O’Go yarn good for beginners?

It’s actually a great beginner yarn! The tangle-free format means less fighting with yarn tangles, which is a common beginner frustration. Red Heart is consistently weighted and behaves predictably, which helps with learning consistent tension. The wide color range and accessibility at major craft stores makes it easy to find. And with 100+ free patterns specifically designed for it, you have a huge range of beginner-friendly projects to choose from. Less yarn-wrangling means more energy for actually learning the craft!
