Collection Spotlight: Candy Hearts

Nothing says cozy quite like a handknit you can hug. Meet our Candy Hearts mini collection, overflowing with exactly that kind of warmth. Inspired by the playful charm of Valentine’s confections and stitched in ultra–soft Bella Chenille, this trio of patterns designed by Afifa Sayeed brings love to life in every bobble and curve.

Designed for cuddle breaks, nap time, or simply brightening up your favorite corner, the Lovebug cushion cover is a soft reminder to make room for comfort in your space. Its bold heart motif adds a playful pop to any sofa or bed, while the chenille texture gives off instant cozy vibes.

Crafted with tiny wearers in mind but guaranteed to steal grown–up hearts, the Me and You cardigan is a smaller–scale expression of big affection. The bobble heart brings instant joy, making it a perfect gift knit or a keepsake passed lovingly down the line.

Styled cool and casual with denim or dressed up for a night out, the You and Me cardigan is equal parts sweet and statement-making. Its relaxed shape and velvety fabric invite you to live in it, while the bobble heart detailing adds that irresistible handmade touch.

Bella Chenille‘s plush texture turns each piece into a wearable (or huggable!) note of affection. It’s the kind of yarn that begs to be squeezed, and in this collection, we’ve paired its cloud–soft feel with sculptural heart motifs to make pieces that don’t just keep you warm, they warm your heart, too. Whether you choose a favorite pattern or purchase the entire ebook, be sure to take advantage of 20% off this squishable yarn, now through Sunday 1/18/26.

Happy Knitting,

Afifa
