I’m so excited to finally release The Wisteria Sweater! I finished this one several weeks ago and am so happy to get it out in the world! You can find the full written pattern below, along with links to the Lion Brand kit, video tutorial and printable PDF!
The front and back panels of The Wisteria Sweater are worked from the bottom up. Then, you will seam the sides and shoulders before attaching and working the sleeves top down. For a longer top, add more rows in multiples of 4 before you begin the underarm shaping. For longer or shorter sleeves, just add or remove more rounds before beginning the cuff! The great part about the sleeves being worked top down is you can try it on and adjust the sleeves before fastening off!
I used Lion Brand Re-spun yarn in the bonus bundle, color “blush”. You can find The Wisteria Sweater as a kit on the Lion Brand website, which comes with all the yarn needed to make your sweater plus a free copy of the ad-free printable PDF! You can also customize your yarn color.
Did I just find my new favorite cotton yarn? I think I did. Be prepared for so many designs using this yarn because I am obsessed! My first make using this yarn is called The Poppy Pullover!
I used Lion Brand 24/7 cotton DK for the Poppy Pullover crochet pattern. Don’t get it confused with the worsted weight version! The DK weight is obviously thinner and much more soft. It had no splitting and no tangles as I crocheted. I’m absolutely in love with it! I used the color Cacao for mine but they have a lot of pretty choices.
The Poppy Pullover is crocheted in separate panels from the bottom up. You’ll be using a larger hook in comparison to the yarn to give it more of a mesh look. It’s important to not pull your stitches tight. You want a relaxed and even tension so you can give it the perfect drape. Feel free to go up in hook size if you normally have a tight tension and/or your gauge is off. Once you have all your panels complete you will sew them together.
The Poppy Pullover is easy to make adjustments to. You can add or takeaway as many rows as you want on the back panel to adjust the length. Just be sure to make the same adjustments on the front panel as well, right before you split the neckline.

Which do you prefer… Teatime? Or Ski Time? The Ski Time Pullover is the sister design to The Teatime Cardigan! I decided to go with my same stitch pattern but wanted to make this one a solid color for a more subtle look! But…I do reallllly want to see someone make this one with different color stripes! I think it would be so cute!!
I used Heartland yarn for this design which is one of my favorite soft and cozy yarns. It’s the same yarn I used for The Stony Shore Cardigan and The Pemberly Pullover! Be sure to check them out if you want more heartland design! There are a ton of colors in Heartland to chose from and it’s really easy to work with. No snagging or catching on your hook and the sheen is beautiful! If you want a free copy of this PDF pattern and want to use Heartland yarn, then be sure to purchase my kit for the best deal!
The Ski Time Pullover is worked from the bottom up in separate panels. You can easily add more rows if you want a longer sweater! Just add as many rows as you want before the neckline shaping on the front panel, then add the same amount to the back! It’s also written with several inches of positive ease, so no need to size up. I’m wearing a size small in the photos!
I might have a little obsession with hoodies. Especially cozy ones. And this one might be the coziest one yet. Meet The Hawthorn Hoodie!
This Hoodie uses a super soft yarn from Lion Brand called Let’s Get Cozy: Chenille Appeal! I loved working with this yarn and think the finished texture of The Hawthorn Hoodie is amazing! There are lots of pretty colors to pick from as well.
If you want your hoodie to be longer or shorter, you can easily add or remove rows on the front panel before shaping the neckline. Just make sure you add or remove the same amount of rows to the back panel as well. Don’t forget this will alter the amount of yarn required. You can also leave the pocket off the front as well although I think it ties this design together perfectly! My favorite part of The Hawthorn Hoodie is the oversized cozy hood.
You’ll be using Hdc stitch for most of this design so the panels work up quickly! This yarn has a fluffy texture but overall I found it easy to work with! I have 2 other hoodie patterns available that you might enjoy if you like this one. The Happy At Home Hoodie and The Bonfire Beach Hoodie. Be sure to check those out as well!
How are we already in this weird in between stage of summer and fall?! The end of summer is looming so that means my summer designs are also coming to an end. Luckily, The Palmar Pullover is perfect for this in between time!
The Picot Mesh stitch is one of my all time favorites for warmer makes! I think it’s one of yours too since The Zahora Cardigan was so loved! I used the Picot Mesh stitch for the Zahora and fell in love with the drape and comfy fit! After a few requests here and there for a pullover version I decided it was time to make one using Pima Cotton yarn! The Zahora used Lion Brand Comfy Cotton which is very similar to the Pima that I used here!
I wanted to give The Palmar Pullover a similar look to the Zahora with the speckled colors throughout a neutral base. Luckily, there is a few super cute options for the Pima yarn! I didn’t want it to be too overwhelming with color so I grabbed a neutral vintage and paired it with a colorful Seaglass! You might not even be able to see the striping, it’s so subtle! If you want to stick to solid stripes you can easily do that by picking 2 solid colors. Or, if you aren’t a fan of the stripes you can even make it in one solid color throughout! I definitely recommend grabbing the Lion Brand yarn kit so you can customize your look!
Didn’t I tell you guys that there would be a matching pullover to the beloved Stony Shore Cardigan?! Well here it is… The Stony Shore Pullover! Haha, I had to keep the name the same obviously since they are sister designs. If you enjoyed the Cardigan design then you will definitely love the pullover!
The Stony Shore Pullover crochet pattern is constructed very similar to the cardigan. It’s actually a bit quicker to do because you don’t have to worry about pockets and the trim is a lot smaller! This is an oversized pullover! You do NOT need to size up to get this slouchy look like mine! I am wearing a size small in the photos. Be sure to check the size chart below and pick yours size via your bust size. If you want a less slouch fit, size down.
I used Lionbrand Jeans for the pullover instead of Heartland like I did in the cardigan. However, either one works great for this! So if you prefer Heartland you can still swap it out. Although, I’m in love with Jeans yarn and highly recommend it!
Description: The Stony Shore Pullover is the sister design to the Stony Shore Cardigan! It has a cozy oversized fit with cute balloon style sleeves. The stitch gives a beautiful and fun texture. Beginner friendly and fun to make!
It’s finally here! The Happy At Home Hoodie has been anticipated by so many of you and i’m so excited to release it. Sometimes you just have a design in mind that comes together exactly how you wanted it to and this was one of them! I pictured an oversized hoodie with wide ribbing and a soft lightweight feel. The slits on the side somehow make it even better than I imagined.
I used Lion Brand Coboo to make this hoodie. It’s one of my all time favorite yarns! You can check out The Bobble Crop Top which I made using Coboo. I also have some other designs coming soon using it!
I hope the Happy At Home Hoodie pattern brings you some much needed crochet therapy while we are all quarantined to our homes. It brought me so much joy to make and I know this will be one of my pieces i’m most proud of for years to come. Please tag me in your wips and finished photos of your hoodie on Instagram so I can share the happiness! Use #happyathomehoodie so I can see!

Spring is on it’s way and there is no better way to celebrate then having a giveaway! When JORD Wood Watches contacted me to partner up with them, I Immediately jumped at the chance. I’ve seen these beautiful natural wood watches before and have already been eyeing them. Of course, that left the task of having to pick from all of the beautiful timepieces, which was NOT easy! I just love that their watches are made from natural wood, which goes perfectly with my yarn and handmade clothing (something I work with and wear almost everyday!)
