A Lovely Yarn
10 Sweater Patterns You’ll Want to Knit Twice (Fit + Look Included!)
updated
Whether you are looking for a pattern to use up fingering weight yarn scraps or a pattern to use along with your Advent yarn calendar, this compilation features a large variety of patterns that will work for both! I had so much fun researching and compiling this list of patterns for you!
Here is the link to the pattern bundle that I organized on Ravelry.
ravelry.com/bundles/scrappy-patterns-20
This link will take you to a directory of all of the patterns that I discussed in the video.

The fiber arts have been a part of my life in one form or another since I was a young girl. My grandmother taught me how to crochet (and knit, although that one didn't exactly stick at the time) when I was around the age of eight. Fortunately, I am blessed enough to even have a few of her handmade items that I have tucked away for safe keeping.
My family and I live in the rolling hills of Western Pennsylvania. We love the beautiful outdoors that surround us and spend a lot of time enjoying the landscape. However, I spend the majority of my free time with yarn and needles in hand. Knitting soothes my mind while at the same time feeding my need to create.

The fiber arts have been a part of my life in one form or another since I was a young girl. My grandmother taught me how to crochet (and knit, although that one didn't exactly stick at the time) when I was around the age of eight. Fortunately, I am blessed enough to even have a few of her handmade items that I have tucked away for safe keeping.
My family and I live in the rolling hills of Western Pennsylvania. We love the beautiful outdoors that surround us and spend a lot of time enjoying the landscape. However, I spend the majority of my free time with yarn and needles in hand. Knitting soothes my mind while at the same time feeding my need to create.
Thanks so much for joining me for this episode. I feel so blessed to be able to share my love of knitting and crafting with you.
