There’s nothing better than hearing the mailman pull up and opening the door to a big box of yarn from Lion Brand! I don’t know about you but I anxiously await my yarn delivery as soon as I click the order button. 🙂 Are ya with me? I have a few different yarns to show you all and some sweet patterns to go with it!
If you follow me on Instagram you know that I’ve been working with Lion Brand’s Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling yarn. You also already know that I LOVE it. I made The Cross Stripe Poncho with the Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti Pilling yarn. You can find the free pattern here, and the PDF printable from Etsy here and Ravelry here!
There is finally a chill in the air! I woke up this morning and it was cold enough for a cozy sweater while waiting at the bus stop with Evie! I’ve been keeping this pattern a secret for sooooo long. I finally get to share with you guys my “Cozy Boyfriend Cardigan” which is part of Lion Brands, 12 Weeks Of Christmas! I know, I know. Christmas seems so far away but it’s never too early to start making gifts right? Especially when they are handmade and take a bit more time. Yay for slow fashion!
My Cozy Boyfriend Cardigan is available as a kit from Lion Brand at a super awesome discounted price of 40% off! Use code “SAVE40SEPT” at checkout. Go snag yours now so you can get started! Did you know you get a free printed PDF of my pattern when you buy the kit? Yup.
If you have the yarn but still want a pretty PDF to print out, grab it from my Etsy Shop or Ravelry Shop.
This design was inspired by the chunky oversized sweaters you see at the mall. I wanted it to be something you could throw on with leggings and a tee. The Boucle yarn gives it just the look I was going for! I know the Boucle yarn can sometimes be intimidating but if you take it slow, use stitch markers and count by feeling your stitches you will be fine!Â
