The holidays are fast approaching and that means gift knitting (and crocheting!) is in full swing. Whether you’re creating gifts for the special people in your life, or just looking to relax and craft something special for yourself, we hope you’ll enjoy the season with our yarns and patterns. Today we share our favourite new patterns to inspire your holiday gift-making!
In August, we published a simple shawl pattern, theItty Bitty Picoty Shawl, designed especially for our new sock blanks. It's an asymmetrical shawl knit from the top down featuring garter stitch throughout and a picot bindoff. Shown here in our Midnight Stroll colourway, it could be knit in any of our sock blanks for a beautiful gradient effect. You can get the Itty Bitty Picoty Shawl for FREE bysigning up for our newsletter!
For our crocheters, we’re delighted to share a stylish cardigan designed by Tanya Eberhardt ofLittle Things Blogged which uses one of ourSerenity 20 bundles. TheJazzy Cardigan is a boxy V-stitch cardigan that is great for beginners - if you know how to double crochet and make chain stitches then you’re well on your way. Check outTanya’s blog post for more information and a coupon code good through the end of the year!
Erica Dietz of5 Little Monsters used a differentSerenity 20 bundle to create a lovely crochet scarf! Simple to work up, it's a super cozy accessory that is sure to add some warmth during the coming colder seasons. You can find theVivid Scarf pattern for free on Ravelry.
If you’re looking for another quick one skein project, check out our newly released theJacinto Shawl on Ravelry. Worked in ourSerenity Silk +, this crescent shawl is knit from the bottom up with short rows for a good fit through the shoulders and sports a lovely center back lace panel with a fluttery lace edging. This would make a delightful gift, or something luscious to spoil yourself with!
If you need a quick last-minute gift, we suggestStrolling on Cloud 9, a DK cowl designed by Suzanne Nielsen. This mobius scarf perfectly showcases two colours from ourArt Walk Series and even includes a video tutorial with the pattern. Calling for just two skeins of DK, this cowl knits up quickly and makes a great gift!
We hope these patterns will kickstart your holiday knitting or inspire you to create something special and one-of-a-kind for yourself with our handpainted yarns. Either way, we would love to see what you create - share your projects with us on Instagram using the hashtag #zenyarngarden or join our group Zen Yarn Gardeners on Facebook!
