New Yarn - Cherub DK

I have knit this dress a couple times and I have LOVED it every single time. We got a new yarn in the shop and I just had to take it for a test drive...and I knew this dress would be perfect!

About the yarn - The yarn is called Cherub DK and it is from Cascade Yarn. It does have a little more sheen than I expected, which makes it a little slippery to knit with. I noticed sometimes my gauge changed a tiny bit because of the slip factor. But the COST of this yarn ($3.50 per 50g ball) and the ability to throw it in the washing machine makes this yarn AWESOME!!! It's great for knit or crochet!! You can find this yarn in-store or online!!

About the dress - The dress is called Lil Rosebud Seamless Dress and it comes in so many sizes, but I have only knit the small one because it's SOOO cute on tiny babies and the perfect baby shower gift!

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!
