Penna Yarn

Penna is a brand-spankin-new yarn from Universal. Spun in Italy, Penna is a luxurious lace-weight blend of baby Suri alpaca, extra-fine merino, and nylon. It features a gorgeous halo that adds an ethereal quality to any project. On its own, Penna is best suited for garments and accessories with a loose gauge. When held with another yarn, the possibilities are endless!!

I have a mohair allergy, so I was SOOOOOOOOO insanely excited for this yarn. I ordered it in 1 colorway and got to work on patterns that I've always wanted to knit, but couldn't do the mohair aspect of it. (By the way...I totally have a GREEN theme going on with my last few projects!)

Leni is a free hat on Ravelry that has a folded under brim (it doesn't flare out when you wear it...that's just the fact that these mannequin heads are TINY!!!!) and a little tree detail. It's knit with 1 strand fingering weight (we recommend your favorite indy dyer or Malabrigo) plus the 1 strand Penna.

If you are curious what other projects could be great with this yarn...check out this bundle we curated...

Karen Chemo Cap 5th Anniversary Makeover

I had someone ask me about the Karen Chemo Cap Fan Stitch and I decided the video and pattern were both in need of a make-over! Especially when I noticed this year is the 5th anniversary of publishing this pattern. When my mom had chemo I made her a few different hats because honestly it felt like the only thing I could do. I designed this one just for her, and was super excited when it was her favorite! After she passed I wasn't sure I wanted to release the design, but with a little time...it felt like the right thing to do! You can download the pattern for free here (please give it a favorite over on Ravelry so that it gets a little Ravelry love!!!):  Ravelry: Karen Chemo Cap pattern by A Little Knitty Designs You can purchase the yarn we used here:  Cumulus by Juniper Moon Farm (alittleknitty.com) Here is the video if you need help with the fan stitch!

Free Pattern - Moose Mountain Cowl

Materials:  Yarnalia Cloud - 50g / 142 Yards - Main Color = Grey, Contrast Color = Blue 70% Baby Alpaca 7% Merino Wool 23%Recycled Polyamide US13 24” Circular Knitting Needles   1 Stitch Marker   Gauge : 12.5 stitches per 4” in Pattern Finished Measurements:  Jen’s  Pattern Notes:  We love using this little knitting hack of knitting one round when we change our colors. This eliminates the purl stitches looking a little funky (if you know, you know).  We decreased by 25% of the stitches about halfway through the cowl to allow the top of the cowl to be a little closer to the neck and the bottom spread over your shoulders if you want to wear it that way! We gave you little check boxes to check off as you complete repeats. **PATTERN** Using Main Color, CO92, place stitch marker and join in the round Round 1: (K2, P2) Repeat parentheses all the way around Repeat Round 1 six more times       ⃞          ⃞...
