Free Pattern: The Lola Scarf

I have made so many Lola scarves, I have lost count on how many. This adorable kerchief style scarf is so fab, everyone wants one, so than you end up  knitting one for them. We have decided to make this a free pattern! Woo! It is a great beginner project or for those of you who are more advanced it is great T.V. knitting. I have made it out of a million different yarns and they all look great (even boucle’ and furries). Worsted weight with a gauge of 18-22 stitches per 4″ is best.  We have lots of yarns that will work for this in our shop! Enjoy!

Pretty Patterns: Just In! Rosie’s Bow Headband

Oh my! Isn’t Piper adorable in our new Rosie’s Bow Headband pattern! These are so easy and quick to knit, there is still time to do them for Christmas! We like the Zara Plus yarn, but any chunky weight you prefer will work. The pattern comes with both the adult and the little girls version, you need 2 balls for the adult and only one for the girls. If I can squeeze in the time, I am going to whip out a few of these this weekend!!! What do you think!?

Pretty Patterns: Just In! Bombardier Hats

Another darling Piper’s original pattern is here! These are our Bombardier Hats! They are so warm, yet so fashionable, and you can knit them up in a flash. We made them using Boboli Quick, which is a super chunky variegated yarn. Make one for yourself and one for your little one to match! You can purchase the pattern in our shop or on our website here. We also have filmed two short videos that will help you to knit these hats. These are really as easy as a basic beanie, the only thing different is the added earflaps, so our videos will show you how! So simple!

Free Pattern: Giant Basket Stitch Scarf

I came across this scarf as I was switching out my summer wardrobe for my winter one. I made this scarf a couple of years ago, and had totally forgotten about it. I totally fell in love with it all over again! I remember that this was really easy, but it looks very complicated. We still sell the yarn and I still had the pattern, so I am going to share it with you! Anything very chunky will work, preferably you will want something with a gauge of 2-3 stitches per inch on #11 or #15 needles. This scarf took (2) 100 gram hanks, but you could use more or less depending on the length that you would like. You will love this scarf!  Click here to download the PDF pattern:Giant Basket Stitch Scarf

Just In! Gum Drop Hats

So adorable! These little hats are super easy to make, any beginner knitter can handle them. They work great for girls or boys and can be knit is dozens of color combination’s. I cannot express in words how much I love these gum drop hats !!!!

Jasper

I am loving this Jasper yarn that we have in the shop. The colors are amazing and it so soft in your hands when you are working with it! It is an Aran weight so there are a lot of options for what to make with it and it knits up fairly quickly. I made a Lola Scarf out of it! It is probably my 10th Lola, but I could wear them every day!

Best Book: 9 to 5

Debbie Bliss has done it again with this fabulous book for childrens knits. There are a ton of easy to make, classic styles for both boys and girls. The patterns are for the hard to find sizes of ages of 5 to 10 ish. For some reason it is a bit harder to find as many knitting patterns for kids, there are oodles for babies and toddlers and then it seems to make a jump to adults. I want to knit everything in this book, if only I had a little one in this age group.

Free Pattern: His Hat

I will be sharing with you some wonderful patterns and ideas for gifts that you can still get done in time for Christmas. Actually, they are so quick that you could even procrastinate a little more and still have them finished in time. His Hat is a great beanie style hat for any guy in your life. I am making one for my dad, but it was originally designed by Shannon for her husband. You can easily size it larger if needed. The pattern is a freebie from us to you! We used Karabella’s Aurora 8 Merino Wool yarn, but any worsted weight should do.
