Free Pattern Friday – Aoyagi

Some projects seem to capture a season in stitches, and the Aoyagi Shawl, designed by Tori Gurbisz, is one of them. Light, airy, and full of movement, this crescent-shaped shawl combines effortless wearability with eye-catching color.

Worked in beautifully drapey Bella Tweed and textured Tango, the Aoyagi Shawl showcases shifting hues that dance across the shawl’s generous wingspan. Delicate texture adds visual interest without overwhelming the fabric, while the contrasting striped border frames the design with a playful pop of color.

Whether you’re drawn to bold color combinations or prefer softer, tonal palettes, the Aoyagi Shawl offers the perfect canvas for showcasing both Bella Tweed and Tango. Pick your favorite color of each and cast on this masterpiece with 20% off on both yarns, all weekend long.

Happy Crafting,

Free Pattern Friday – Boardwalk Bucket Hat

Easygoing, effortlessly cool, and just the right amount of retro, the Boardwalk Bucket Hat, designed by Alexandra Frankel, is the finishing touch your sunny-day wardrobe has been waiting for.

You can support your favorite sports team or pick school colors, or even put together two similar shades to create a more subtle look. I’m dreaming of a light grey and black combo since spooky season is upon us!

Whatever you choose, your Mix and Match Hats will be the epitome of comfort and durability. Knit in the 100% anti-pilling acrylic strands of Uptown Worsted, these hats are super-soft and machine-washable to boot! Grab this stash staple yarn at 20% off, now through Sunday, September 14.

Free Pattern Friday – Ghostly Gourds

Spooky season is upon us! There’s no better time for a Halloween cast-on, and we have just the project for you! I’m thrilled to make my Free Pattern Friday design debut with Ghostly Gourds, a frightfully-fun pair stuffed jack-o’-lanterns, knit in Uptown Worsted.

Ghostly Gourds are the perfect treat for your needles, and they utilize some clever tricks too. Duplicate stitch gives these cuddly cuties their eerie faces, and a simple shaping technique defines their pumpkin-y ridges. Stockinette stitch with the yarn held double makes for such fast knitting that you’ll have a finished project before you can say “boo!”

Display these jolly jack-o’-lanterns on your mantle or window sill, poised to greet costumed kiddos or guests at your Halloween bash. Or throw on your favorite scary movie, grab a mug of mulled cider, and get comfy, because these plump pumpkins are ripe for a snuggle!

Ghostly Gourds are squishably soft and durable, thanks to Uptown Worsted’s 100% anti-pilling acrylic base. Easy to care for and available in over 60 colors, this staple yarn makes beautiful garments, accessories, and home decor that will last for years to come.

Uptown Worsted yarn and kits are 20% off through Sunday, September 14. Stock up on this best-seller, snag a Ghostly Gourds Kit (including the pattern and all the yarn you need!), and create something truly spooktacular!

Happy hauntings!
