Free Pattern Friday – Mix and Match Hats

Happy Friday! This week we have the Mix and Match Hats fresh off our circular knitting needles, using Uptown Worsted. These chic, eye-catching hats, designed by Rachel Brockman, are great go-to accessories for adding a pop of color to your outfit. They’re warm and cozy, making them the perfect project to choose next – especially since we’re gearing up for the fall.

One ball of each shade is enough to make both of these hats, reversing the colors for the second one. That means you can make one for yourself and one as a gift! Share with your best friend, coordinate with your partner, or craft these matching cuties for your kiddos and watch them frolic in the falling leaves, knowing their little noggins are safe from the cool, crisp air.

Imagine these little beauties in any two colors of Uptown Worsted–there are so many to choose from and so many possible combinations! 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.

Enjoy every stitch,

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!
