April’s Spotlight Friday – Beechnut Pullover

Happy Friday, crafters! Today’s spotlight features the Beechnut Pullover, designed by Amy Gunderson.

As the seasons shift, the Beechnut Pullover emerges as a quintessential piece for your transitional wardrobe. This elegant sweater captures the essence of beech trees, featuring intricate lace panels along the sleeves that mirror the delicate beauty of leaves.

What sets the Beechnut Pullover apart is its innovative construction. The journey begins with knitting the lace sleeve panels, allowing you to immerse yourself in the detailed leaf motifs. Once completed, stitches for the body and sleeves are picked up along the panel edges, and the garment is worked from the top down. 

Originally crafted using Papyrus, the pattern has been updated to feature Wool Pop. This DK-weight yarn, composed of 50% bamboo, 35% superwash wool, and 15% polyamide, offers a soft drape and subtle sheen, enhancing the pullover’s refined appearance.

Take advantage of a 20% discount on Wool Pop through Sunday, April 20th, and stock up on your favorite color of this delightful yarn.

Keep on crafting on,

Free Pattern Friday – Half and Half Cardigan

Happy Friday, fellow crafters! I am super excited to introduce you to this week’s free pattern, the Half and Half Cardigan, designed by ME!

The Half and Half Cardigan is one of my favorite designs ever. Knit in soft and silky Wool Pop, in colors 605 Silken and 616 Denim, this cardigan is a fun take on color blocking. This piece is worked flat, from the top down, using intarsia color changes at the center back to create seamless blocks of color. With a flattering v-neck and close-fitting silhouette, this piece will keep you covered, pun intended, on all occasions as the weather turns.

The blend of 50% bamboo, 35% superwash wool, and 15% polyamide allow the fibers to absorb the dye differently, giving Wool Pop its distinctive heathered appearance. With a slight sheen and incredible drape, this multi-season yarn is one of our fan favorites. Get 20% off this luscious yarn this weekend, through Sunday, Sept 8th.

I am dreaming of a zesty version in 618 Lemongrass and 619 Blue Whisper, how about you?

Keep on crafting on!
