Deppei Sweater

 Time for another pattern release!

Seven years ago Number Two asked me to make her a sweater. I let her pick from my stash, and she chose this obnoxious green acrylic. I tempered it with a darker green and this sweater was born. It has since been worn by Numbers Three and Four as well.

I posted a picture on Instagram, and everyone loved it! So I cleaned everything up and now I am sharing this sweater with you.

The design is inspired by four-leaf clovers. The deppei oxalis plant is also known as "lucky clover" because it always produces four heart-shaped leaves clustered together.

The Deppei Sweater is knit in two skeins of worsted weight yarn, so you can (hopefully) finish it before the recipient outgrows it. The sizes currently go from 6 months to 4T. My adult son has asked for this, so I plan to add more sizes in the future. The sample was knit using Marianated Yarns Playtime Worsted. The pattern is currently available in my Payhip store.

Catamount Set

 The holidays are over. The food has been cooked and eaten, the gifts have been wrapped and unwrapped. If you do gift knitting, the FOs (or IOUs) have been distributed. Now it’s time to relax.

I have the perfect pattern to occupy yourself in that lull between Christmas and New Year’s, a nice warm treat for yourself or a loved one. My Catamount Hat and Mittens Set. The pattern is available on Payhip.

This unisex pattern was designed for my son, and depending on the colors you choose, can match any style or outfit. Because it is an Aran weight, it works up quickly. 100 grams of each color is enough to knit one hat and a pair of mittens, two hats, or two pairs of mittens.

Eva over at Seismic Yarn & Dyeworks has kits available featuring her Butter Aran. The yarn is deliciously soft and comes in lots of colors to make your heart happy.

This is my first published pattern, but I have several others in the works. I hope you keep coming back to see what else I have planned.
