  • Holiday Cheer Cardigan

    Holiday Cheer Cardigan

    You guys… my favorite time of year is almost here once again. And with that comes a new holiday design. Every year I knit something that’s holiday related and this one falls right in line.

    I used my big needles for this, you all know they’re my absolute favorite. I’m obsessed. It always lets the gorgeous yarn shine through. And this yarn has sparkle, so I absolutely had to. Knit collage’s spun cloud is one of my top favorite yarns for chunky knits.

    I love the texture, the softness, and the colors are so vibrant and gorgeous. The ones I chose for this are Moroccan ruby, olive, cafe au lait, Sedona, and French vanilla. Like I cannot with how pretty they are.

    And one of the funnest parts was adding the little pocket on the front. I loooove it. This was my first time doing a pocket on a sweater and now that I know how it works, I’m definitely going to be trying that out again in the future.

    You’ll need six skeins of spun cloud or any similar super chunky weight yarn, sizes 15mm (US 19) and 25mm (US 50) knitting needles, and a darning needle for seaming and weaving the ends. This is a fairly easy pattern and something anyone can do!

    I used Sandnes Garn Poppy in the color called tutti frutti. It. is. gorgeous. There are no words for how much I enjoyed knitting with this yarn. And they have many colors of it, so that’s a plus! But I recommend the tutti frutti because it looks like a funfetti cupcake and will make you happy ❤️.

  • Summer Sweater Favorites

    Summer Sweater Favorites

    My favorite season of all time is basically right upon us! Honestly, not many really correlate summer and knitting. Knitting is more cozy, hunkered in, cool weather vibes. I tend to love the summer knitting and knitwear. There’s something so cute about a knit tank or a knit cardigan to wear on those summer mornings and evenings. Plus, these knitwear pieces don’t take too long to do! Unless of course you’re going for a larger cotton knit. But it’s always worth it. I love a good cotton sweater over wool!

    The summer daisy sweater will forever be one of my favorites. It’s oversized and uses basic knitting stitches, fun color work, and the little flowers are my favorite!

    The bring me coffee cardi is absolutely perfect for your summer morning coffee runs or enjoying a coffee on the porch in the evenings! It’s another one that’s fast to work up and is lightweight and breathable with the open stitch work.

    The Inez summer sweater is one of my best selling patterns! This sweater I designed and knit right after my dad passed away and it holds a moment in time where I needed something fun and colorful. It’s one of my designs that I really would like to find time to knit another of!

    The peachy sunsets tee is what you need for a more laid back and simple style when you want to wear a graphic tee but need a bit more polishing. Your perfect companion for pairing with some denim shorts and browsing the farmers markets!

    The Freya summer sweater was a design I did for a collaboration with hobbii yarn and is another favorite! This yarn is super light so it makes it perfect for a summer piece. The open shoulders and mesh stitch also add a little fun to the overall vibe.

    Summer is when most of the amazing adventures happen, the most beautiful photos taken, the best sunsets and travels, and you need to have some summer knitwear to top it off. It is so much more than just a piece of clothing. It holds memories. Memories from when you knit it, memories from when you wore it. Make it count.

    All sweater patterns are available in my Etsy shop here or in my Shopify shop here!
