Unicorns are a big craze right now with little girls, don’t you agree? I’m sure most people know somebody who is a unicorn lover! My girls inspired me to create the ultimate unicorn blanket and I’m so happy I did.
The Unicorn Dreams Afghan was a blast to make and actually works up pretty quickly for a blanket. The bulky yarn makes it extra squishy and soft. I held the Terryspun yarn double stranded for the unicorn. This is something you will want to do as well! It’s not thick enough on it’s own so be sure to hold 2 strands of yarn at the same time.

Have you ever tried Landscapes yarn by Lion Brand? I remember buying some a few years ago to make a hat but never designed anything on a bigger scale with it. I’m so excited to finally share the Skyscape Shrug with you all! Its very simple. If you can make a rectangle then you can make this sweater! It’s the perfect project to work on while binging your favorite show on Netflix because you repeat the same few rows over and over! It is also super easy to customize. You can make it longer by starting with more foundation single crochet stitches. If you want a shorter wingspan, just take out a row repeat!
Kit and PDF’s-
You can find the kit to make this shrug HERE! It includes all the yarn you need (in 5 different color options) plus the ad-free printed PDF pattern!
You can find the ad-free printable PDF pattern HERE on Etsy or HERE on Ravelry.

Is there a crochet stitch or technique you’ve always wanted to try but never got around to doing? For me, that was corner 2 corner crochet.
I always saw so many beautiful c2c blankets while scrolling through Pinterest and always thought to myself…”hmmm I need to give that a try.” Well, I finally did and I guess you can call me a c2c addict now!! I’m so excited to show you guys my Covered In Cats Afghan!
What do you think? 🙂
I had so much fun designing the Cross Stripe Poncho and I hope you guys love it! I used Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti Pilling yarn which is amazing to work with. If you haven’t tried it yet I definitely recommend giving it a go! The pattern repeat on this is super easy. If you want a longer poncho just add an extra repeat on both panels. This pattern is also very beginner friendly. You are making two big rectangles and seaming together. The hood can be easily left off if you aren’t a fan. I also love that you can pick your own color palette for the stripes to add your own unique flair! Let me know what you guys think! 🙂
If you want a PDF printable version of the pattern you can find it in my Ravelry Shop and Etsy Shop!
Description: Whether you are at the beach or sitting around the campfire this poncho is the perfect piece to keep warm. The stripes give it a fun boho vibe and provides a great way to add your own unique colors. The optional hood is also easy to add!

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!

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!
Materials:
-
Baby Soft Boucle (bulky,5) Skeins needed 9(10,11,11,12,13,13). 1040(1120,1210,1290,1360,1450,1500) yards. I recommend buying the kit here.

I’m super excited to release this pattern and check another wip off of my list! I wanted to make a simple tank top but also didn’t want it to be too boring. You’ll be working through the back loops only throughout the pattern to give it a little flair! I used Lion Brand Merino Silk Cotton for this pattern and really liked it. It’s considered a weight of (1) but I honestly think it passes as more of a Sport/Dk (2 or 3). You should be able to meet gauge with a heavier weight yarn, so be sure to check!
If you make one, tag me on Instagram so I can share your work! 🙂
Materials:
Merino Silk Cotton Yarn (1) Superfine. Color- Olive. Yards needed- 450(480,520,570,630,690,770)

My friends over at BeCozi sent me some of their ahhhhmazing Jumbo Chenille Yarn recently. I knew right away that I wanted to make a huge, squishy pillow with it! So the Marshmallow pillow was born! I used just under 5 skeins to make it and it ends up being a really decent size. I also was lucky enough to have an unused pillow insert that I was able to use (18×18″). I hope you guys like the Marshmallow Pillow! Be sure to tag me on Instagram if you make it so I can share your work. 🙂
Materials:
- Becozi Jumbo Chenille Yarn (less than 5 skeins, 18 yards each)
- Jumbo 30.00mm Crochet Hook (or you can finger crochet)
- Pillow Insert OR Poly-Fil Stuffing.
