Book Review – Wanderlust: 46 Modern Knits for Bohemian Style

by

I am absolutely in love with the boho style and this book “Wanderlust: 46 Modern Knits for Bohemian Style” looks like it was made for me. The book explores 46 new knitting patterns that celebrate bohemian style, which is something I absolutely adore.

The book is filled with a wide range of knitting projects, including knit cowls, scarves, shawls, hats, mittens, and sweaters. I love how the patterns range from easy garter stitch and stockinette to pretty lace patterns, chunky cables, simple colorwork and more, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. The patterns are perfect for knitted gifts and I can’t wait to make some for my loved ones.

I also appreciate that the knitting designs in Wanderlust are made with 100% superwash extrafine merino wool, which is perfect for active modern lifestyles. With quick accessories and garments for both men and women, including seven glorious sweaters, I know I will find something for everyone on my knitting list, and more importantly, for myself!

I am excited to start my journey with this book, Wanderlust: 46 Modern Knits for Bohemian Style, and can’t wait to see what beautiful and unique projects I will create. I’m sure this book will be a great addition to my knitting library.

Knits to Make for Your Labubu

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level. 

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants. 

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project. 

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn. 

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through. 

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces. 

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
