It’s Almost Easter…..Time To Knit some Eggs

Looking for a unique and fun project to add some DIY charm to your Easter decorations? Check out the knitted and felted eggs from The Vintage Umbrella! These eggs are a cool twist on traditional Easter decor and can be used in a variety of ways, from Easter baskets to table settings and more.

To get started, head over to The Vintage Umbrella website and follow the link to the knitted and felted eggs project. The pattern is easy to follow, and even if you’re new to knitting, you should be able to complete the project with ease.

The pattern calls for worsted weight yarn and requires basic knitting skills, like casting on, knitting in the round, and decreasing. Once you’ve knit the eggs, you’ll need to felt them in the washing machine to give them their unique texture and shape.

The finished eggs are cute and versatile, and you can use any color combination you like to match your decor. Plus, since they’re made from yarn, they’re a great eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic Easter eggs.

Head on over to The Vintage Umbrella, and look for the link. You’ll absolutely LOVE the results!!

Add a Little Lace to Your Knitting Patterns

If you’re new to lace knitting or just aren’t sure how to incorporate the technique into garments, check out these tops and sweaters that use lace as a decorative element.

The easiest lace out there is eyelets, and you can practice them plenty with this eyelet covered sweater from Knitcro Addict. It uses light/DK weight yarn and is worked in four pieces knit flat. It’s intended to be a little cropped and a little oversized, and includes sizes XS to XXL in the pattern.

If you’re in parts of the world where it’s getting colder as you read this, the Nora sweater from Bummbul might be a good choice. This is actually a great one for learning lace because it’s worked in super bulky yarn, which makes it easier to see what you’re doing and makes the lace super graphic. This one just comes in one size, with a 42 inch (106) cm bust, but that could fit a variety of people depending on how much ease you like.

Minimi Knit Design has a cute allover lace cardigan worked in one piece from the bottom up. It’s worked in lace weight mohair held double, which maybe isn’t the best for those new to lace (because it can be hard to rip out) but it sure is pretty. Sizes range to fit from 30 to 66 inches/76 to 168 cm bust measurements.

If you’d rather not have lace all over your sweater, you can knit the Lumi sweater from Originally Lovely, which has a chevron lace pattern on the yoke and is otherwise worked in reverse stockinette stitch. (It’s worked inside out so you don’t have to purl every stitch.) The pattern has 9 sizes from XS to 5XL and uses worsted weight yarn.

Or try the super romantic sookie blouse from Trust the mojo (available on Ravelry). This sweet top is started working flat from the bottom up and has a V-neck and I-cord edgings. The sleeves are worked separately in the round, and the pieces are all joined together to work in one piece to finish off the top. It comes in eight sizes and is available in English and French.

You can also pair lacy sleeves with an otherwise plain top, like on the Starflower Wrap from Annelise Driscoll Gingrow. This intermediate pattern makes a wrap sweater with generous lacy sleeves and a double wrap belt. The pattern has nine sizes, from XS to 5XL, and is available for free from Hobbi.
