Knit a Great Lacy Cardigan with this Fun Knitalong

April 20, 2019 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

Knitwear designer Kate Barrios has launched a knitalong for her latest design, the Cerezo en Flor cardigan, which will take place over eight weeks beginning next month.

The pattern is a lacy cardigan made with The Fibre Co. yarn. It’s worked flat from the bottom up in pieces and has a loose, flowing kimono-like design with a lace pattern inspired by cherry blossoms. Kate says the pattern is great for intermediate knitters.

There are discounts on the pattern before the knitalong starts on May 6 (get the details on her website) and the knitalong will run through June 30, with weekly prizes from indie designers and a few great grand prizes (a Bluprint knitting box, a sock set from Crafty Jak’s, and a hank of The Fibre Co.’s Terra yarn with a mitten pattern).

Check out the knitalong page for all the details on the yarn used for the original, kits made especially for the knitalong and how to take part. The event will be hosted on her Facebook page and will include live streams weekly for learning and talking about the pattern.

This sounds like a great event and a fun way to get a sweater that will be great for spring and summer!

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
