Willa Knitting Pattern

Willa is a cardigan with set in sleeves and a soft scoop neck. The classic fit makes it versatile enough to dress up with a blouse or wear with her favorite jeans.

Willa appears to be a more complicated knit than it actually is. The cabled affect is achieved without cabling and the front button band is a simple garter stitch band with a few yarn-overs for button holes.

Darling Knitting Pattern

Knit from the top down this raglan coat is easier than it appears. Even the seed stitch borders are built into the body so there will be very little finishing and there are no button holes.

A long A-line fit makes it a great choice to wear with dresses and jumpers.
The optional embroidery is made up of basic stitches that anybody can do.

A Little Fishy Knitting Pattern

My youngest son has had a fascination with fish since he was a toddler. I guess it was only a matter of time before I ended up trying to combine his love of fish with my love of knitting.

This color stranded fish design starts out as a top down raglan so there’s no seams to sew. The color rows are all worked in the round and carefully placed so they aren’t interrupted by any shaping.

Though this isn’t an exceptionally difficult sweater to knit, experience with knitting in the round and color stranding is helpful.

Smitten Knitting Pattern

A neat little jacket for playing in the fall leaves is an absolute necessity!
No buttons to fumble with, just zip it up and go. A ribbed, folded collar will keep the autumn breezes at bay. Two front pockets make a great place to store a favorite trinket.
Pick some bright, kid friendly colors and whip this jacket up in no time. Heavy worsted wool keeps the little ones warm and makes for a quick knit.

Tater's Cotton Cardi

Spring and summer bring warm weather but little ones can still use a little added warmth on cool days and in the evening. This cotton raglan wears nicely over a spring dress or with her jeans and a T-shirt. An easy zig-zag repeat makes for enough interest to keep more experienced knitters from getting bored but is easy enough for less experienced knitters as well. Finishing is quick and easy because there are no seams to sew and the front ties are worked right along with the front bands.
