Knit Picks New Yarn – Sugar Bunny

by

Knit Picks has a new line of yarns called Special Reserve. The first in that line is called Sugar Bunny. It’s a mix of 80% merino wool and 20% angora (I’m going with Angora rabbit rather than goat), and it is soooo soft. And warm. And cuddly!

The pictures aren’t true to color, for some reason, the skein I have is closer in color to the label, it’s called Regal, and it is every bit that.

The picture on the right is what I have done of my first arm warmer. I made them extra long to go halfway up to my elbow and down further on my fingers too, than a normal wrist warmer. So soft, did I mention that? And it comes in 11 totally yummy colors and white! But you have to hurry! It’s a limited edition yarn. I’m anxious to see what else Knit Picks comes up with in their Special Reserve line.  If they cross the line into Quiviet, I might have to sell my house!

Hurry on over to Knit Picks to get yours while it’s still available!

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.
