Free Pattern Alert - Wee Lima


Yesterday I put up 4 button options on Facebook and Instagram and asked what button you would pick. Engagement on social media hasn't been great, so when I picked my phone up later...I was surprised to see so many people weighing in. It was cool to see how many different opinions there were. I had my favorite, and then I had the one that I felt would look best as a sample (because that is the point of this sweater). Many of you agreed that C was the best option...and I agree as well (although, I'll admit, A was my favorite if I were making this for me!!). 

This is the Wee Lima sweater by Taiga Hilliard...a free pattern on Ravelry. I did the 3-6 month size, but is sized from Newborn to 12 months. This pattern is super fun to knit and makes a really adorable gift!

I knit it with my SUPER FAVORITE, CAN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT Mystical Marl. It took 2 balls for the 3-6 month size. I absolutely LOVE the way this yarn feels in my hand as I knit, it steam blocked very nicely...which was impressive for a 50% cotton 50% acrylic yarn. And at $4 a ball...it's a steal!!!

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       ⃞          ⃞...
