We have a lot of exciting things planned for Knitting Daily. I thought you might like to hear about some of what’s coming up in Spring 2007:

* [tag]Free Pattern Library[/tag]: We’re working on a searchable free pattern archive for you, where Knitting Daily subscribers can browse a large collection of the best knitting (and crochet!) patterns anywhere. (Did I mention they’re all free to Knitting Daily subscribers? Yep.)

* Knitting Daily Blog: We really do “knit daily” here at Interweave Press, and it’s my job to make sure you are all invited to share the fun! I’ll be starting the conversation with a daily blog full of photos, interviews, guest bloggers, links, and information about all things knitting…and then it’s your turn! Leave comments, send emails, post photos of your own work, and share ideas and tips with knitters around the world.

* Techniques & Tips: A searchable online glossary of techniques is just the beginning. The [tag]Knitting Daily[/tag] blog will have how-to information—and insider tips—from some of the best in the business—including you! If you have a trick or a technique to share, you can post it on the Knitting Daily website where thousands of knitters will see it.

And of course, we’ll be adding new free patterns to the pattern library continually, with updates sent right to your inbox.

Free patterns that are not available in the magazine, but through the newsletter! What more could you ask for?

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.
