Knit a Quick Hat that’s Full of Love

by

Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it, but of course hearts are always appropriate and fun to knit.

The Big Love Beanie knitting pattern from Crafts Everywhere uses super bulky yarn in two colors and features sweet heart designs.

It’s sized to fit a teen or adult (one size) and is rated as for advanced beginners because of the colorwork. (But the colorwork is pretty easy if you’re familiar with working colorwork in the round.) It’s super cute with a giant pompom on top, but that is of course optional.

You can get the pattern from Etsy.

Looking for more Valentine’s Day inspiration? Check out this collection of heart knitting patterns (and these!) and some knitting patterns with hearts on them. I also have a simple heart knitting pattern that’s worked in the round on my website. They’re great for this time of year or any time you want to spread a little love!

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.
