PATTERN RELEASE – The Mountain Cabin Cardigan

February 14, 2026Diana Poirier

After much delay, The Mountain Cabin Cardigan is now AVAILABLE!

This cardigan is cozy and oversized and I know it’s destined to become your favourite on chilly days.

Designed with full-length sleeves and a flattering mid-thigh length, this cardigan features classic ribbing along the hem and cuffs. It’s knit seamlessly in one piece and then sewn together.

The beautiful marled effect is achieved by holding two strands of yarn together and working them as one throughout.

The pattern is now available in my Etsy shop and over at Lovecrafts so go and grab a copy TODAY!

It’s off the needles…

May 25, 2025Diana Poirier

I’m done!!! 😁 Well, I still have to sew it together, but it’s off my needles!

I pinned it together so I could try it on, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

I don’t have a name yet though. 🤔 Maybe I’ll come up with one this weekend!

It’s finally supposed to warm up, so I’m hoping to get in the pool for a swim!

Happy Sunday!
