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.

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!
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!
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!
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.

Is it summer yet?! Nope, it’s not even spring yet. lol. I’m hoping that if I make all of the warm weather things it will force the sunshine to come. Let’s see if it works. 🙂 The Summer Nights Shawl is a super fun and quick make to work up while you’re netflixing. It’s a very easy mesh stitch with a simple repeat row. It’s worked up double stranded with the light and superfine yarn. If you don’t have both yarns available, I recommend using just a basic worsted weight yarn!
Be sure to follow me on Instagram and tag me with your finished shawl! I love to share your work with my followers. 🙂

- Light (3) weight cotton yarn. Pattern uses Lion Brand Comfy Cotton in “whipped Cream”. 200 yards.
- Superfine (1) weight yarn. Pattern uses Lion Brand Summer Nights in “blue Lagoon”. 215 yards.
- 5.00mm Crochet Hook
- Optional- If you add tassels or fringe, you will need more yarn then noted above.
It’s a new year which means a bunch of new free patterns on the blog! I have a lot of fun stuff in the works for you all and to start it off i’m posting this super chunky beanie! Now, this beanie is a tiny bit different because i’m using a stitch that’s not technically a real stitch, I guess you could say. You’ve heard of the Center single crochet or “waistcoat” stitch right? well this uses that stitch except it’s “extended”. I’ve just added one more yarn over in the stitch. Below are a couple of video tutorials for you to get a visual. I promise its super easy!
Don’t forget to PIN the beanie and tag me on Instagram with your makes! 🙂
Materials:
- Super Bulky (6) Yarn. Pattern uses Lion Brand Hometown USA. 130 yards needed for adult size.
- 9.00mm Crochet Hook
- Yarn Needle
- PomPom (optional)
