It’s the first Friday of August, and you know what that means! The Cloudborn Cardigan is our free pattern for today, designed by Rachel Brockman. This exciting children’s pattern uses our stunning Wool Pop yarn to create a piece you can hand down from generation to generation. Let’s learn more!
The Cloudborn Cardigan is sized from 6 months to 6 years old, so whether you have a toddler roaming around or an older child, this pattern is for you! This garment uses an exciting garter stitch throughout, including the ruffle sleeves, providing a fun challenge for any knitter. The ruffle sleeves are created by picking up stitches around the armholes as you work in the round, incorporating increases to make the ruffles.
Perhaps the most exciting part of this project is that you get to tailor it to your liking with the expressive color palette! Our Wool Pop color palette includes 30 hues that look stunning in many different stitches, like the garter stitches used in this pattern. Pick your favorite color, and add the button of your choosing today. We know your little one will love their finished cardigan!
If you’re still questioning whether you should stash Wool Pop, our 20% off weekend savings make it the perfect time to splurge! This beautiful yarn is a blend of 50% bamboo, 35% superwash wool, and 15% polyamide in a DK weight. Wool Pop looks incredible in many stitch patterns, and the sheen of this yarn is sure to make your next piece stand out!
Cute and colorful, we especially love how playful the patterning looks in this pullover. Symmetry is overrated!
Sized for babies and toddlers, the Peekaboo Pullover is a simple design with a big impact. Eclectic and playful, self-patterning Easel was designed for socks, but as you can see, it’s wonderful for so much more! Comprised of 75% superwash wool and 25% nylon, Easel is soft and machine-washable. As a superfine yarn, it creates a fabric that is lightweight without sacrificing warmth. Plus, with six exciting colorways, you’re sure to fall in love with at least one!
Simple shaping, garter stitch, and stockinette stitch make knitting this little pullover as easy as 1-2-3!
The Peekaboo Pullover is great for new and seasoned knitters alike. The sideways, cuff-to-cuff construction shakes things up a bit, but basic stitches keep it from becoming overly complicated. This enables you to allow the yarn to do most of the work! My favorite detail is the garter hem, flipped on its side. The denser row gauge pulls the fabric in a bit along the hem, just like K1, P1 Ribbing, but with a bit more of a unique appearance!
The Peekaboo Pullover features a square neckline. It’s roomy enough to easily slip over little ones’ heads, too!
It’s inspiring to see all the beautiful things we can create with sock yarns. Too often we can put our yarn into “boxes” about their uses. And while there certainly is good reason to do that, there is just as much reason to try something new, too! Whether you choose to use Easel for this cute little sweater, a drapey shawl (see the Pointillism Shawl), or a classic pair of socks, we know you’ll love working with this fresh yarn!
And with that, I hope you have a wonderful holiday week filled with loved ones, tasty treats, and plenty of time for knitting, crocheting, or perhaps trying a new skill!
