Introducing Uptown Worsted Hues

Uptown Worsted is one of our best selling yarns in the shop! It's super soft, anti-pilling and great for gift knitting! We are SOOOOOOO thrilled to announce they just added Uptown Worsted Hues to the line up and this yarn is stunning!!!

Uptown Worsted Hues is the newest member to our family of popular, anti-pilling acrylic yarns. Featuring the same base as customer-favorite Uptown Worsted, Uptown Worsted Hues is a self-shading yarn with gentle shifts in color and soft tones. The palette is perfect for babies, but also looks smashing in grown-up projects and home decor, too.

Here are a couple of the colorways available...

I found this adorable hat pattern on Ravelry and thought it would be super fun with this yarn!

Free Luuk Pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/luuk

This hat was knit with the leftovers....just to show how the colors would knit up in stockinette....and also to use up the rest of the ball of yarn because I HATE leftovers. Child size hat, US8 needles, Cast on 80 stitches and do (K1tbl, P1) for a few rows, then knit in stockinette until your heart tells you to stop. Decrease every three rounds until you have 16 stitches. Pull through stitches and weave in ends. That is a hot and fast recipe there...not a great pattern! ;)

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!

Chemo Caps - Part 2

Please share this pattern with anyone who would like to knit a hat for someone in need! You can download your pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gia-chemo-cap

Copilot Remix

Years ago I found the Copilot Cowl by Dominique Trad on Ravelry and it had two of my ABSOLUTE favorite things...garter stitch and yarn overs! I cast one on for a trip I was taking and knit it while I was traveling. It was the perfect project to keep my attention, but I didn't need to take the pattern out constantly. After knitting one, I noticed that the length of it was just too long for my liking, I wanted it to be a simple, single-wrap cowl. I reworked it a little bit and it is my go-to when I have a skein of fingering weight yarn (especially if it is a singly-ply!!) Copilot Remix Materials: 1 skein 100g/440 fingering weight yarn (if your skein is a little more or a little less, no problem, I put in weights so you can use up all your yarn and not play yarn chicken!) US6/4mm 24" circular knitting needles Stitch...
