If you are looking for a quick/easy hat pattern to get you through these last few weeks of winter, I’ve got something bright and peppy for you.
Here’s the Button Up Hat.
The brim is worked flat, and then the hat is joined into the round. Choose an eccentric button, pin, buckle to set your hat apart from the rest.
I have a new pattern out in the winter issue of Petite Purls!
This cardigan is slightly over-sized for easy layering, and to hopefully last through more than one growth spurt. I opted for a simple top down design, so I could pair it with several different looks. The color combination has been haunting me for months (it’s popped up in my yarn, fiber, and fabric), so, of course, I had to make a sweater with those colors. It would also look great in a solid color, or maybe with contrasting edges.
I’m extra thankful this year, as my newest pattern is available today!
Meet Link:
“A beguiling blend of visual interest and ease of knitting, Link features matched cables and an easy, in-the-round construction. The almost seamless tunic can be layered over a light shirt, or worn alone, as the yarn is simply scrumptious. It is sized to be close fitting, so be sure to choose the next size up if you want a roomier fit.”
It’s available in sizes 6 months, 12m, 18m, 2, 4, 6 through Three Irish Girls.

I have a new pattern in Petite Purls, and I really could not be happier with it.
H watched two different shows both featuring rocket ships in a really short period of time, and then all he could talk about was rocket ships, going to the moon, and outer space. So, because I’m the kind of knitter who takes an idea and runs with it, I decided he needed a cuddly rocket ship friend.
This was the final iteration. Yes it is big, but it is super cuddly. I have stolen it for my bed on more than one occasion. The rocket is fun to tote around, fly in the sky, or help you get to dreamland. Every piece is knit in the round, so it is pretty simple. You do have to attach the fins and burners to the rocket body, so it isn’t seamless.
All that said, I hope you make a rocket friend of your own! Up, up, and away!
I’ve got a new design coming on, or around, the 1st of September. Keep your eyes peeled.
LaJenna- I love how there is a subtle stripe in the red yarn. The smooth texture of the yarn really makes the stitches pop. Also, the pattern was carried around the back of the leg.
AmazingClumsy- The ruffled edge is super cute and whimsical. A really fun modification.
Nobiantary- First, watermelon yarn! Second, the chart was repeated twice, like LaJenna’s socks. I think this is a popular modification, because I see it a lot in the Ravelry project pages.
KnittingSM- I love the picot cast on. It adds a dainty touch to the socks. The blue yarn looks great too.
