Annie’s Signature Designs Launches Spring Collection

by

Check out Annies Signature Collection patterns for spring.It may not feel like it, but spring is right around the corner in the northern part of the world. It might be just about time to put away the heavy wool yarn for the season and start knitting some lighter things that we can enjoy wearing through the spring and summer.

If you’re ready for a switch in your knitting projects, Annie’s Signature Designs has got you covered. Their new spring collection launches today. Called Spring Breeze, the collection features more than 20 knit and crochet projects that will get you excited for warming temperatures.

“The pastel spectrum of the morning sky is infinite with its amazing colors. The color palette I chose for this collection captures some of these delicate tones. Even on not-so-sunny days, the mysterious coastal fog produces a delicate light that kisses the textures of the beach, softening the colors. I’m often captivated by this misty spectacle,” says Lena Skvagerson, lead designer of Annie’s Signature Designs.

When it comes to knitting patterns, there’s a fun circular vest worked in self-striping yarn, a short-sleeved top with a chevron lace pattern, a tank top with lace panels that form a triangular hem, a wrap sweater with eyelets and cables, a lightweight top with lace panels and sleeves, a fun tunic with contrast details, another lacy top and a cardigan with three-quarter sleeves and narrow lace panels.

This collection will have you thinking of trips to the beach and the warm weather that’s right around the corner. Individual patterns can be purchased for digital download or in paper versions, and you can check out 360 degree videos of each design so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting before you buy.

Are you thinking warmer knits yet? I’m still rushing to get some cool-season projects done!

Beyond Basic Pumpkin Knitting Patterns

Over the years I have shared a lot of pumpkin knitting patterns, and I’ve knit and crocheted a lot of pumpkins myself. But it feels like there are always more fun things to try with knit pumpkins, so this year I wanted to look a little more beyond basic stockinette or ribbed pumpkins and share some pumpkin patterns with cables, bobbles and colorwork. 

In the cable collection we’ve got these cute little basic cable and ribbed pumpkins from Elly Bear Knits. There are two sizes that make a wide, flat pumpkin and a taller round pumpkin. Both are worked in the round as a tube that’s cinched top and bottom when you’re done, and they use bulky weight yarn. 

Another cute cable pumpkin knitting pattern comes from Gray Bear Akswokrat. This one is knit flat and it looks like a chunky yarn but you could use other weights to make pumpkins of different sizes. This one also has an I-cord stem and uses yarn to cinch up the sections of the pumpkin, giving it a more natural look. 

Add some bobbles to your pumpkins with this design from Autumn Shelter Makes. Also worked in the round in a tube, it features a repeating pattern of bobbles and uses yarn wrapped around the outside to make segments. This one looks like worsted weight yarn to me. 

Of course there’s nothing that says your pumpkin has to be a single color, so let’s throw in some colorwork. I love the look of the Cozy Fall Pumpkin knitting pattern from South Stitch Girls. The little leather loop adds a rustic touch but you could also just add a stick. These pumpkins have five colorwork options and are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. 

There’s also the Autumn Fair Isle Trio pumpkins pattern from Equestriann Style, which has three different sizes of pumpkins with four colorwork designs. They are worked in super bulky yarn in the round and look good with high contrast or more muted color combinations.
