Yarnalia Sweater

I recently introduced Wonder from Yarnalia to everyone

And I was so excited to cast on a baby sweater with this awesome yarn!

At first, I knit a baby cardigan, but the pattern and the yarn just weren't the best pairing...so I grabbed the Flax sweater pattern and made the smallest size. The only changes I made were changing my color every 4 rounds to create a muted rainbow yoke and I removed the garter stitch on the arms!

Not only did I want this as a sample for the shop, I wanted to throw it through the washer and dryer like it would on a normal basis in a home where there is a new little baby.

The photo above is after one washing. I plan on washing this a lot more times, but haven't had the ability to this week! But I was SOOOOO happy with how it washed up. It kept its shape and got even softer!!

Stay tuned as I share more washings!!!

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!
