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...




You can see all 8 of the new colorways in-store or online HERE


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


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!

How are you all doing with holiday gifts? Still need a few to knock out quick-like? I found these cute gifts that I think could work up fast. For the book lovers on your list, I think these cute crocheted chicken bookmarks are hilarious! Crochet Colorful Chicken Bookmark by PurrCraftedDesign . The pattern sells for $4.95 on Ravelry and calls for a sport weight cotton. The shop sells a DK cotton that would also work beautifully for these cuties - Ricorumi Another bookmark pattern is Leaf Bookmark & Garland Motif by Joey Diehl . This pattern is FREE and calls for Worsted weight yarn, so Uptown Worsted would be perfect for this. How about a sweet pocket friend for a child? This one is super basic, called Worry Pet by Blue Fox Paws and is a FREE pattern and uses any gauge yarn! It would be fun to use a textured yarn, or a fuzzy kind, but any yarn works. You can opt to put the ears on or not. We have safety eyes in the shop, too! Do you know someone who uses Airpods and could use a co...
