Free Pattern Friday – Pink Promise Blanket

This week’s offering is the Pink Promise Blanket, knit in our versatile and dependable Major! The Pink Promise Blanket, designed by Afifa Sayeed, is a special pattern that holds meaning for those who are affected by breast cancer. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so we wanted to present something that would bring a touch of joy to a somber subject. Whether you have a loved one going through treatment, want to make it for yourself, or are honoring someone close to you who has passed, this simple project is worth the effort.

Built block by block, this blanket starts in one corner and steadily grows into a large square blanket. Each section alternates color and stitch pattern – garter stitch and stockinette stitch – and finally, an easy border is applied in garter stitch to complete the blanket.

Despite the name of the project, you can reimagine the Pink Promise Blanket in any color. With our extensive palette in Major, you have so many options to choose from! Pick two similar shades or go for a striking contrast.

Major is 100% soft, plushy acrylic, so the snuggly blanket (or blankets!) you make from it will be washable, dryable, and 100% full of love! With 328 yards in this extra big 200 gram ball, you’ll definitely be getting a sweet deal. Speaking of deals, Major is 20% off through Sunday, so now is the right time to stock up!

Enjoy every stitch,

Free Pattern Friday – Catawba River Poncho in Deluxe Bulky Superwash

Happy Free Pattern Friday, crafters! The Catawba River Poncho, designed by Amy Gunderson, with its richly textured cables and relaxed silhouette, has always been a standout design. Now, it’s been reimagined in Deluxe Bulky Superwash, bringing new life and new possibilities to this beloved piece.

This poncho’s generous shape drapes comfortably, while the turtleneck adds extra warmth without being restrictive. Paired with jeans and flats for a casual day out, or layered over a dress for a polished look, the Catawba River Poncho is as versatile as it is stylish. 

Whether you’re revisiting the design or discovering it for the first time, knitting the Catawba River Poncho in Deluxe Bulky Superwash gives you a project that’s equal parts relaxing and rewarding. Shown in 918 Dusty Blue, the updated yarn choice makes it modern, practical, and ready for a place in your fall wardrobe.

Why Deluxe Bulky Superwash? This yarn is everything you want for a project like the Catawba River Poncho. With its soft hand, excellent stitch definition, and easy-care superwash finish, it highlights the cables beautifully while keeping the poncho light, lofty, and wearable. The bulky gauge also means your stitches fly off the needles, so you’ll be wrapped in cozy style in no time. This weekend only, get 20% off this squishy base. I myself am eyeing 939 Burgundy. How about you?

Happy Crafting,

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!
