Oh hey, who’s ready for my first free pattern of the new year? Meet the Crossroads Wrap!

The Crossroads Wrap uses 4 skeins of Lion Brand Yarn’s new yarn line in collaboration with Two of Wands – Hue + Me! If you haven’t tried this yarn yet, you should rectify that immediately. It’s a bulky weight, a pleasure to work with, and most importantly it comes in the most beautiful shades! All of the colors work so well together, so really you can’t go wrong when choosing colors for your Crossroads Wrap.

Lion Brand has put together a handy little kit for the Crossroads Wrap which includes all the yarn you’ll need plus a digital PDF of the pattern! You can find the kit in the link below. You can also purchase the ad-free printable PDF if you like, or continue scrolling for the free pattern.

The Crossroads Wrap is worked flat, mostly in color blocks, and features surface crochet for the vertical stripes which are added onto the finished piece. Yes, I said crochet – but don’t be scared!

How to Knit – Part 1

June 20, 2019 By Destiny Leave a Comment

Hello new knitters! I’m so glad you’re here. In this new beginner series, I will show you the very basics of how to knit, from start to finish. We will create a simple chunky scarf that will have you addicted to knitting in no time!

Knitting is a wonderful craft that offers endless possibilities and allows you to create beautiful, cozy pieces with just a pair of needles and some yarn. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have dabbled in knitting before, this beginner series is designed to teach you the fundamentals of how to knit, step by step. By the end of this journey, you’ll have the skills to create your very own chunky scarf, so grab your favorite yarn and let’s get started!

Just a note, all of the videos in this how to knit series were originally created for my Beginner Knitting Kit, which is available in my shop here. You do not need the kit to learn to knit as long as you can find all of the supplies needed. It may be a good option for you if you’d like to have everything you need to get started included in one kit!

A note on supplies:

To begin learning how to knit, you’ll need a few basic supplies. First, you’ll need a pair of knitting needles. For beginners, I recommend starting with medium-large sized wooden or bamboo needles, around size US 11-15, as they are easier to handle. Bamboo needles and smooth and also keep a nice grip on the yarn so your stitches don’t accidentally slide of the needles.

Next, you’ll need some yarn. Choose a chunky or super bulky weight yarn for your first project, as it will knit up quickly and give you a chance to practice your stitches without getting overwhelmed.

Here’s what I recommend to get started:

2 skeins of Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn (80% acrylic/20% wool) in Fisherman
1 pair of US 15/10 mm knitting needles
1 jumbo yarn needle

The pattern details:

Gauge: 9.5 sts and 13 rows = 4 in/10cm

Finished size: 72 in (183 cm) long and 7.5 in (19cm) wide

Pattern

Using the long tail method, loosely cast on 18 stitches.

Row 1: Slip 1 stitch knitwise, knit to end of row.

As you practice the knit stitch, you’ll notice the fabric taking shape. It’s important to maintain a consistent tension in your stitches to ensure an even-looking finished product. Don’t worry if your first few attempts don’t turn out perfectly. Knitting is a skill that improves with practice, so embrace any mistakes as learning opportunities and keep going.

Keep on knitting until you run out of yarn from your first skein. In the next video of this how to knit series, I’ll show you how to join your next skein!

I’d love it if you’d share this series with a friend you think might enjoy it. Feel free to pin the image below!

How to Knit – Part 2

June 20, 2019 By Destiny Leave a Comment

Welcome back! By now, you’ve learned how to cast on and knit and hopefully your scarf is going swimmingly. In this lesson, I’ll go over how to join a new skein of yarn.

Pattern

Join a new skein of yarn: leave approximately an 8 in tail from both skeins of yarn (these will be woven into the scarf when finished). Drop the first skein yarn and begin knitting with the second skein.

Repeat row 1 until scarf measures 72 in (183 cm) long, or desired length.

Keep on knitting, and I’ll see you at the next lesson where we will learn how to bind off our scarf!
