PATTERN RELEASE – Spring Countdown Sweater

January 31, 2023January 31, 2023Diana Poirier

So, let me ask. Who isn’t dreaming of Spring right now?

I think most of us are at this time of year and now that the Spring countdown has begun, you may as well get started on your Spring wardrobe.

And I have the perfect piece for you!

Introducing the “Spring Countdown Sweater”.

The Spring Countdown sweater has a slightly boxy fit that flatters many different shapes.

It’s a cropped sweater that features capped sleeves and a boat neckline.

This sweater is the perfect sweater to wear right from the beginning of Spring into the start of summer (and probably in the Fall too with a little jacket over top!).

And because of the lovely lacey look, it’s a perfect work or date night sweater.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll be making one in all of your favourite Spring colours! 😊

Available over in my Etsy Shop and at lovecrafts.com.

Happy knitting!

Finally the Bruch Anyone? sweater pattern has been released!

The Brunch Anyone? sweater is a very boxy, loose fitting sweater that flatters many different shapes.

It’s a cropped sweater that features 3/4 length sleeves and a boat neckline.

Knit with US size 9 circular needles (to hold the stitches only as the piece is knit flat) using approximately 1000 yards of acrylic DK weight yarn (also known as #3 or light weight). I used Stylecraft Special DK in Khaki.

Available in my Etsy shop and over at loveknitting.com.

This pattern is beginner friendly, but if you need help, I’m always here to answer any questions you may have!

HAPPY KNITTING!

PATTERN RELEASE – Summer Breeze Bolero

May 24, 2022May 24, 2022Diana Poirier

Hello everyone!

I’m thrilled to let you know my Summer Breeze Bolero pattern is now available!

Head on over to lovecrafts.com and get your copy for FREE!

And a huge thank you to Paintbox Yarns for the yarn support! Their Cotton DK yarn was wonderful to work with.

This is an intermediate pattern involving yarn overs, slipped stitches and passing slipped stitches over, however, I made a little video showing you how to do the more difficult stitches, so I suggest you give it a try even if you’re a beginner knitter! I really hope you do!

Now off to finish up other patterns I’ve only half completed! LOL! Have a great day everyone.

Happy knitting!
