⭐️NEW Free Pattern: Start knitting the beginner-friendly Basic Knit Pullover


Hey, there!

I just posted a new FREE knitting pattern to my blog! While it may not be sweater weather right now where you live, I think a simple project like this can be fun to work on at any time of the year.

The Basic Knit Pullover is simple enough to be approachable for beginners familiar with fundamental knitting techniques, and is perfect for when you just want to make an easy sweater that's not too complicated to knit.

Its classic, slightly oversized silhouette is made with minimal shaping, and the garter stitch fabric keeps purl stitches to a minimum. This sweater is also a great canvas for showcasing the beauty of multicolored or hand-dyed yarns, or adding your own custom stripe pattern.

If you're new to knitting, and want to try making your first sweater, summer time may actually be the best time to start working on a first sweater project. You can work on it at your own pace, and have it all finished up so you can start wearing your new hand-knit sweater as soon as the weather starts cooling off where you live.

(If you've ever felt like "I need to hurry up and finish this cold-weather project before the cold weather is gone and I can't even wear it", you may be able to relate. 😁)

Hey, there! I have something brand-new for you today... the release of my NEW yarn-themed product collection! Many of the knitting or crochet themed items out there are simply drawings of yarn skeins or knitting needles with a silly saying printed on a mug or t-shirt, but in designing my own yarn-themed merch collection, I wanted to do something unique and different. So I decided to hand-draw my own yarn-themed digital art, and hide hanks, balls, and skeins of yarn within a floral print. Many...
