Get Ready for Baseball Season with this Inspired Collection

harnett tank baseball knitsI follow knitwear designer Allyson Dykhuizen on Pinterest, and I happened to notice not too long ago that she was pinning a lot of stuff having to do with vintage baseball uniforms and logo designs. I wondered what she was up to and now I know.

Dykhuizen and Knit Picks have just released her newest collection, ?Vintage Inspired Baseball Knits?. The six patterns are available as an ebook for $9.99, a printed book for $14.99, or individual patterns can be purchased for $4.99 each.

The collection includes two cardigans, a pullover, a tank top (all for women), a blanket and an adorable baby onesie in umpire stripes.

My favorite is the Harnett Tank (pictured), worked in a sideways version of classic uniform pinstripes. It features a racerback and, in case you were wondering, is named for Ann Harnette, the first woman to join the All-American Girl’s Professional Baseball League. She also helped design the uniforms made famous in A League of Their Own. How cool is that?

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.
