Free Patterns, Tutorials and Project Ideas
I love a good simple tee, but some good details make it more fun to knit and to wear. The Samah pattern by Nidhi Kansal features a little bit of texture down the sides and a deep colorwork pattern at the hem.
It’s a repeating pattern that uses three colors of light fingering weight yarn. The fit is meant to be relaxed, with 4-6 inches of positive ease. It’s available in 12 sizes up to a chest measurement of 67 inches.
You can grab the pattern on Ravelry.

Brava Yarn Is 20% Off All September
If you need soft, affordable yarn for a project that will actually be used and washed, Brava is worth adding to your list. This bestselling acrylic yarn is the Yarn of the Month and is currently 20% off throughout September, with no discount code required.
Brava is softer than many traditional acrylic yarns while still offering the durability and easy-care finish needed for everyday projects. It is a practical choice for baby blankets, children’s clothing, crochet toys, washable gifts, accessories and family-sized afghans.
One of Brava’s biggest attractions is its colour range. You can create bright rainbow projects, gentle nursery palettes, seasonal combinations or classic neutrals without spending a fortune. It is also available in four different yarn weights, making it suitable for everything from lightweight accessories to thick, cosy blankets.
This is what I would call a real workhorse yarn. It is comfortable to work with, available in plenty of colours and durable enough for projects that will receive a lot of love.
With Brava currently 20% off, September is a great time to test a new colour, plan a washable blanket or stock up for the projects already waiting in your queue.
