Garnet Red…

Diana Poirier

I’m done my Brunch Anyone? sweater in Garnet red! Just in time for Valentine’s Day! ❤️

I’m choosing to wear this one without the seams exposed for a more polished look, but I could always turn it inside out exposing the seams for a casual, weekend feel.

This boxy sweater is knit using DK yarn and has 3/4 lengths sleeves and a boat neckline. The pattern is very beginner friendly and comes with instructions on how to modify the size.

Grab a copy today in my Etsy shop. It’s a quick knit and you could finish it in a few days! 🙂

Oops!

Diana Poirier

I forgot to share with you the finished Hillside Baby Blanket I made for my friend’s first grandbaby that was born in July! I’m so sorry! 🙄 It honestly completely slipped my mind. It guess life just got in the way! LOL!

Anyways, you can grab a copy of this pattern for FREE right here on my website if you’d like to give it a try. 🙂 It looks difficult, but it’s not. It’s a combination of knit and purl stitches in a 18 row repeat. The finished size is approximately 30″ x 35″.

PATTERN RELEASE – Cool Morning Cardigan

Diana Poirier

Hey there everyone!

I have a new pattern out and it’s my first cardigan pattern.

The Cool Morning Cardigan is a heavier weight cardigan that is truly a cross between a cardigan and a light coat. It’s sure to become your favourite go to piece on those cool, chilly mornings. 😉

The Cool Morning Cardigan is made by holding 2 strands of yarn together creating a thicker knit. It has a full sleeve and falls mid calf. It features slits on the sides and a ribbed cuff.

It is 2 identical pieces that are sewn together so it’s a great pattern for a beginner knitter.

The pattern is written in one size, but notes are included should you wish to modify the size.

It’s available in both my Etsy shop and on lovecrafts.com so head on over and grab yourself a copy.

Happy knitting!
