Hello! It’s been busy over here, with three new patterns to show for it!
In September, Ohmay Tee was published (Rav link/Payhip link). This was a revamp of a pattern my mom originally designed. I was asked to expand the size range, and in the process, I ended up deciding it was the perfect design to mix and match yarns to use up those leftover scraps of yarn, so I rewrote it both to expand the size range (18 sizes from 27” to 62.5” bust) AND alter the length of the shirt so it can use a variety of yardage (cropped to tunic length). Total yardage is listed so that you can feel free to use whatever yarns you’d like: whether that’s scraps, work with one skein until you’re ready to change to another color, or work it all in 1 yarn (Ohmay also looks great in a self striping yarn!).
The version seen above is the cropped length worked up in 3 colors of scrap yarns! This one was also worked in close to zero ease (Size 7, 39.5”, on a roughly 40” bust). Whereas the below option is negative ease with a Size 5 (35.5”) tunic length on the same model. :o)
New this month are both my Rei pullover (Rav link/Payhip link) and Jerrica hat (Rav link/Payhip link). Pictured below is Rei! A sweater inspired by the anime, Sailor Moon. Rei comes in 7 sizes, from 29”-72”, and is meant to be worn with positive ease.
Rei features a fiery lace pattern with bobbles (these ones are crocheted, but a knit alternative option is written into the pattern, if that’s your preference), and short rows and welts to accent the shoulders. It is written top down, so if the cropped length is not your style, you can easily lengthen it until it’s to your preference!
I’m wearing a Size 3 (44”) size with +4” of positive ease. It’s comfy and definitely going to be a go to sweater for this year!!
Jerrica is a fun cabled hat design inspired by Jem and the Holograms. It works two different cable patterns such that you can wear either side towards the front, and has a longer brim that you can fold up to wear double thick over the ears.
<3 Hope your end of the year is going well!
