Free Pattern – Cobblestone Lane

Take a stroll down a winding, cobblestone lane on a crisp spring day, and see what adventures you can find. There’s still a bit of a chill in the air, so don’t forget your scarf!

A chunky, diagonal rib stitch meanders back and forth, broken by bumpy rows of seed stitch. Bold stripes in neutral shades make this a great, unisex design.

Finishing Touches KAL

I designed this pattern for the Finishing Touches KAL. This year long event is broken into 4 sections, the first of which is neckwear. We have great prizes for each of the 4 sections, thanks to our generous sponsors. See all the details, including the giveaway entry information and links to the other patterns, in the main KAL post on Underground Crafter. Be sure to join in all the fun on the KAL Corner Knitting Facebook group too.

Color Made Easy

Lion Brand sent me some of their new Color Made Easy yarn for free, to make this design. It’s a superbly soft, squishy, cozy yarn. The bulky weight means it knits up fast too. If neutrals aren’t your thing, Lion Brand has you covered. Color Made Easy comes in lots of bright, bold shades as well!
