It’s Flash Pattern Friday!
On the last Friday of the month, we take a gorgeous paid pattern and make it free for a limited time! This week, it’s Pipsqueak, crocheted in Bella Cash (Ravelry link here).
Pipsqueak is actually two-for-one, since the pattern includes both the hoodie and the little friend! Worked in cotton-candy tones of Bella Cash, they’re a delightful duo to make.
This design is also part of a neat kids’ collection in Bella Cash called “Writing on the Wall.” We felt this pattern was timely, since we’re starting to look forward to fall wardrobes for little ones – and a new little friend to match your clothes is just such a cute idea!
Bella Cash is great for children’s projects like this one, because it’s soft (it’s got that hint of cashmere!), long wearing, and machine washable. That last one is particularly important for projects that may see a bit of rough and tumble play!
We picked sweet pastels for this project to accent the main color of 108 Ebony, but with 26 colors in Bella Cash’s palette, you could go in any number of directions!
Pipsqueak’s stripes are softened by a spike stitch that brings the MC into the body in a fun way. The cardi is sized from 2-12 years. The mouse is one size, but will happily snuggle with anyone of any size.
To get Pipsqueak free, use the buy it now or add to cart links on the Ravelry pattern page. Then enter coupon code FLASH where you see the “use a coupon code” links that appear during purchase.
