Bernat Pipsqueak Stripes

Hey guys! I hope your weekend is off to a great start and you’re getting some quality knitting time in. I’m working on this super cute, super simple baby blanket with a brand new yarn from Yarnspirations! They’ve partnered with Walmart to bring us a new self striping yarn cake – Bernat Pipsqueak Stripes!

Bernat Pipsqueak Stripes is a fuzzy, textured baby yarn. It’s great for baby projects because it’s super soft and machine washable/dryable! It’s Oeko-tex certified, tested for harmful substances and proven to be safe for baby’s sensitive skin. It’s 100% polyester, and a category #5 bulky yarn. Each cake is 9.8 oz/280 g and 284 yds/260 m.

How great is this color? I love the light pink hues and teal together. See all the available colors here. I chose the color Playdate for my blanket.

I’m knitting the Cloud Nine Knit Baby Blanket, which is a free pattern from Yarnspirations. It calls for 3 cakes, and you simply knit 9 separate squares and then seam them together!

These are mitered squares, which means they are worked diagonally from corner to corner. You’ll work a decrease in the center of each square until just a few stitches remain. Helpful tip: the stitches can be difficult to see since this is a fuzzy yarn, so I’m using a stitch marker in the center of my square to keep track of when to decrease.

During the 2nd row, I knit 34, placed a marker, then worked a center decrease (slip 2 stitches together knitwise, k1, pass the slipped stitches over). Then during the 4th row (and all decrease rows), I knit until 1 stitch remains before the marker, slip the next stitch from the left to the right needle, remove marker, slip the stitch from the right needle back to the left, replace marker, then work the center decrease. The decrease rows are alternated with plain knit rows, so it’s really a very simple pattern that results in a beautiful blanket.

Well, I’m off to finish up this square and start on the next! Remember, you can find Bernat Pipsqueak Stripes in stores or online at walmart.com. I hope you enjoy it, and the rest of your weekend!

Caron x Pantone Fair Isle Beanie – Free Pattern

Caron x Pantone

Hello knitters! I’m popping in today with a new free pattern for you, and to tell you about this gorgeous yarn I received from Yarnspirations!

I was thrilled when Yarnspirations reached out to see if I’d like to try their newest yarn: Caron x Pantone. Of course I said heck yes!

This yarn is a collaboration between Caron and Pantone (hence the name!), and it’s just perfect for color work. The color combinations are out of this world, from gradient blues to intense pops of color.

See all of the colorways offered here. Play around with Yarnspirations new Color Play Tool! You can take any Caron x Pantone pattern and click around to see how it would look in different color combinations to find the perfect one for you.

I chose the Moody Pumpkins colorway – it’s perfect for fall with that pop of pumpkin. I decided to knit my hat in the same order the hank came in, though you can mix and match and find what works for you!

Each 100 gram hank is made up of 5 individual links, or mini skeins. You simply separate the links, and wind them into balls.

The yarn is 60% acrylic, 20% merino wool and 20% nylon. It is incredibly soft and has so much drape. You can purchase it in-store or online at Michaels or Yarnspirations.

Watch this video from The Crochet Crowd to see just how easy it is to take apart and wind the hanks!

There are 20 free patterns on Yarnspirations.com created just for this yarn, which you can find here!

Beachcomber Tote

Add to your Ravelry Queue

The Beachcomber Tote is knit from the bottom up, starting with a small rectangle. Stitches are picked up around each side, and the body of the tote is then knit in the round. An applied I-cord bind off gives the tote a clean and sturdy edge, and the addition of grommets keeps the simple rope handles nicely in place.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Yarn

50 yds/46 m (1 skein) Bernat Maker Outdoor (Royal Blue)
317 yds/290 m (2 skeins) Bernat Maker Outdoor Stripes (Fresh Royal Blue Stripe)

Needles

US 10/6 mm 32 in circular needles
US 11/8 mm 32 in circular needles

Notions

Locking stitch markers
Yarn needle
½ in grommet kit
2 ½ yds of ⅜ in braided rope trim

Gauge

12 ½ sts and 20 rows = 4 in in Stockinette st with larger needles

Size

One: 16 in wide by 14 in tall when laid flat

Abbreviations

CO – cast on
k – knit
k2tog – knit 2 sts together
pm – place marker
sl – slip
st(s) – stitch(es)
ttbl – through the back loop

The following step-by-step tutorial demonstrates how to:

Pick up stitches
Create jogless color stripes
Mark for handle/grommet placement
Knit an applied I-cord bind off
Attach grommets and handles

Pattern

Bottom:

With US 10/6 mm needles, CO 50 sts using the long tail method.

Work in garter stitch (knitting every row) until piece measures 4 in wide (about 28 rows).

Switch to US 11/8 mm needles and knit one row.

Rotate the work 90 degrees. Pick up and knit 14 sts in each garter ridge along the short side of the work. Rotate work again and pick up and knit 50 sts along the CO edge of the work. Rotate again and pick up and knit another 14 sts in each garter ridge along the short side of the work (128 sts total on needles).

Body:

Place marker, join a white end of the self-striping yarn and begin knitting in the round.

Please note: each stripe section should be about 6-7 rounds wide. If the first color of the ball does not have enough yardage, you may need to cut the yarn and rejoin to another section of white yarn. See video for further explanation.

Knit every round until there are 9 striped sections total, ending after a white stripe (5 white, 4 blue).

With blue, knit 2 rounds.

Grommet marking round:

During this round, 8 locking stitch markers will be placed on the horizontal bar between stitches as indicated. These markers will stay in the knitting (not on the needles) to mark where grommets/handles will be placed. See video for demonstration.

Next round: k6, pm, k38, pm, k8, pm, k10, pm, k8, pm, k38, pm, k8, pm, k10, pm, k2.

Knit two rounds.

I-cord bind off:

CO 3 stitches to the end of the left needle using the knitted cast on (see video).

Bind off round: *k2, k2tog ttbl. Sl 3 sts purlwise from right needle to the left needle. Repeat from * until all stitches are bound off.

Please note: At some point during the bind off you will run out of blue yarn. Rejoin the solid Royal Blue skein and continue.

Sl last 3 sts back to left needle. Cut yarn and seam the remaining 3 sts on the needle to the 3 cast on edge sts (see video).

Weave in remaining ends.

Finishing:

Fold in short ends of the bag, line up stitch markers and pinch together to attach grommets (see video). Make sure to place the right side of the grommet through the front (right side) of the bag.

Cut two 36 ½” lengths of ⅜” braided rope for handles. Apply a small amount of hot glue to the ends of the rope (optional) and let dry. Thread the ropes through the grommets from inside the folds, and tie knots in the ends on the right side of bag (see video).

Fairy Leaves Knit Dress – Free Pattern from Yarnspirations

Fairy Leaves Knit Dress – Free Pattern from Yarnspirations

Have you guys seen the new lookbooks from Yarnspirations? They are full of amazing free patterns! Their Baby’s Day Out lookbook gave me a serious case of baby fever, so I was thrilled when they sent along a kit for their new Fairy Leaves Knit Dress!

How adorable is this little dress? The pattern is available as a free download, or you can purchase it as a kit with all the yarn, needles and notions you need for around $20!

I thought I’d share a few tips I found while knitting this up, so grab your needles and let’s get started!

I used Bernat Softee Baby Yarn in the color Soft Peach. Yarnspirations has generously provided a coupon code for 20% off Bernat Softee Baby from today through May 2nd with the coupon code “KKBERNATSOFTEEBABY” (thanks Yarnspirations)!

I knitted the 6 month size, which calls for two balls of yarn, but I ended up using just under one.

Notes and Tips:

The dress is knit in one piece, from the top down.
First you’ll be knitting back and forth in rows, then later join to knit in the round.
The lace charts are read starting from right to left (even the wrong side rows).

The pattern says to join in the round after the 12th row, but you actually want to join after a right side row. I joined after row 13.
Once you’re knitting in the round (starting with rnd 14), you’ll be working with the right side facing for every round. So all “-” symbols on the even rounds will now be read as purls, and all the blank squares will be knits.
Starting with rnd 14, I knit the last stitch of every even numbered round. The pattern doesn’t specify exactly what to do with the last stitch of the round, but I felt that knitting it would maintain the seed stitch section.

For the 30th round, I started with P1, K1 twice, not K1, P1, to maintain the seed stitch section (just as in rnd 14).
The sleeve stitches are set aside while the skirt is knit. They are later knit flat, though you could also join and knit them in the round using the magic loop method (pictured below).

That’s all there is to it! I’m sure you will love knitting this pattern for the little cutie in your life.

Remember, you can save 20% on Bernat Softee Baby from now until May 2nd with the code “KKBERNATSOFTEEBABY”!

Which color will you knit this in? Feel free to share with your friends – pin the image below!
