A sister pattern to my crochet Snowfall on the Bowery Wrap, the knit Flurries in the Wind Wrap is inspired by blustery snowfall under a streetlamp on a winter’s night. This blanket wrap will keep you snug and comforted at home or protected from the chill if you decide to venture out into the night, and it can be worn wrapped around the shoulders or bunched up around the neck like a scarf.
The 2019 Holiday Knit Sweater is a top down yoke style sweater with optional turtleneck, prominent ribbing, bell sleeves and a flattering fit in 10 size options!
The Luxe Faux Fur Cowl is a gorgeous and luxurious cowl that has two contrasting textures/sides that can be worn and displayed in various ways. This cowl can twist to show either the faux fur side using “Go For Faux Yarn” or the textured worsted weight side using “Heartland Yarn”. This cowl is a statement piece that looks high end and will keep you very warm and cozy!
This design was inspired by the chunky oversized sweaters you see at the mall. I wanted it to be something you could throw on with leggings and a tee. The Boucle yarn gives it just the look I was going for!
Inspired by a peaceful snowfall, this sweater will be the perfect knit for yourself or as a gift for a loved one. The simple colorwork design is both easy to follow and fun to knit – entertaining both beginners and experts alike!
This cozy hat features bold yet simple colorwork designs reminiscent of classic Fair Isle and Scandinavian style. Cozy as can be, this modern woolly hat will keep you warm on the coldest of winter days. This cozy Nordic inspired infinity scarf features bold colorwork designs and an ultra-warm fabric. The classic Fair Isle stitching and snowflake patterns are perfect for wearing during the cold winter months. A wonderful project if you’d like to try knitting colorwork for the first time!
Love the look of sheepskin but not sure about buying the real thing? Why not make your own? Inspired by the concept of crochet rugs, this faux sheepskin is worked up with a crochet base in the shape of a sheepskin, with Go For Faux adding a luscious layer of faux fur on top. The Alpine Sheepskin is soft and drapey, and can be used as both decor or as a small blanket!
Whether you’re a hipster, a hunter or planning a woodland-themed nursery, finish off your rustic look with the Buckhorn Blanket. Made with half double crochet C2C stitches, you’ll “illustrate” your deer before adding the perfect playful pom pom edging. Try it in ecru and red to add a splash of Scandinavian style to your holiday decor.
The Aubergine Afghan is crocheted with the luxurious Veluxe, velvet yarn. This modern crochet afghan is constructed with only 4 larger rectangles and is a perfect project for those evenings where you just want to relax and watch your favorite television show. It’ll quickly become your favorite cozy afghan to cuddle up in this winter. It’s also perfect for gift giving!
A fun oversized take me anywhere bag that is loaded with large pockets and plenty of storage. The exterior has a sophisticated easy, and elegant style! Perfect gift to make for yourself or someone special!
Find balance with this effortlessly easy and beautiful triangle shawl. As you transition through simple repeats, color changes, and eyelet sections, you’ll see the beauty and elegance of this perfectly balanced design. With a lightweight texture, super soft yarn, and lovely drape, you’ll never want to take this shawl off. Make it your own by adding fringe or tassels!
The Little Hearts Infinity begins with a provisional cast on. It is worked flat in a simple colorwork design, with the contrasting color floats being carried along the wrong side of the work. It is finished by grafting the ends together with Kitchener stitch for a seamless join.

In the picture of the LUXE FAUX FUR COWL #B70489 there is a beautiful cardigan that the woman is wearing. Do you have the pattern and # for that cardigan? I would really appreciate that information. Also is it possible to get the pattern #70498 WRAP FLURRIES IN THE WIND without buying the kit, as I have plenty of your wool already and need to find patterns? Thank you for your time.
