Are you a K-Pop fan? Then you are in good company cause I am an OG (original) K-popper. I guess it helps that I'm also of Korean decent so my parents listened to Korean music and I just grew up listening to it.
If you have missed out on the original K-Pop Mask (crochet version), you can find it HERE. It is a black K-Pop mask with an optional bear motif made using acrylic yarn.
The K-Pop Mask in this blog post is a knit pattern with a heart motif. Taking those with sensitive skin into consideration, I decided to design this mask with Lion Brand's 24/7 Cotton yarn. The mask is more rigid with this yarn so if you decide to knit this one and don't necessarily have sensitive skin, you can choose to knit with a different yarn that's close to the given gauge for this pattern.
I want to note here before you decide to buy this premium pattern that the K-Pop Masks (crochet and knit) are in no way, shape or form able to protect you against the Coronavirus. IT WILL NOT PROTECT YOU FROM THE CORONAVIRUS. This mask is strictly a K-Pop fan mask.

I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty late in the game with becoming a fan of BTS. I've always been more stuck with the older K-Pop groups and Eric Nam (of course). If you don't follow me on Instagram then you probably didn't see this photo:
OR this one:
YES! I finally met my favorite K-Pop artist of all time last month and gave him a mostly Tunisian crochet blanket of his logo that I personally made for him.
How did it feel to meet the K-Pop artist I admire the most? Pretty surreal! I had so much to say and so little time. I literally blanked out and tried to spat out most of the important things I wanted to tell him. But the one thing I forgot to tell him was my name! HAHAHA. Will he remember my face? I have no idea but I truly hope that he will.
In the comments below, let me know who your favorite K-Pop artist is! I would love to know!
Please give a warm welcome to the Elsa Shawl. This knit shawl was inspired by Disney's Frozen Elsa.
To pin it for later, visit Pinterest.
The Elsa Shawl is a knit wrap that uses Yarn Bee's Marblesque. This yarn is considered a worsted weight yarn so if this yarn is not available near you, I recommend looking for a thinner worsted weight yarn.
The beautiful lace work that is worked on this shawl is called the twin leaf lace panel. The look of this lacing reminded me of the way the snow and ice whisked whenever Elsa used her powers. Hence, this shawl was so named the Elsa Shawl.
I am not a shawl wearer but lately I have been really enjoying designing them so I can guarantee that more shawl designs will be coming out this year.
In this blog post, you will find picture tutorials to guide you through the garter tab cast on and the i-cord bind off which are both used in this shawl.
Garter Tab Cast On
Cast on 3.
Row 1-6: Knit
Rotate your work 90 degrees, pick up 3 stitches with your left needle and knit.
You should now have 6 stitches on your right needle.
Rotate your work 90 degrees again and pick up 3 stitches with your left needle. Knit.
You should now have 9 stitches on your right hand needle.
You have successfully completed the garter tab cast on.
I-Cord Bind Off
Cast on 2 stitches.
To cast on, knit the first stitch on your left needle as you normally would.
Instead of slipping off the knitted stitch, leave it on your left hand needle and slip the stitch that you created on your right hand needle to your left.
*Knit 2. Then knit the next 2 stitches together through the back loops.
To perform this, take your right needle and slip your needle from the back through the second stitch and then in through the first. Knit as you normally would.
The pictures below are pictures of how k2togtbl looks like. These pictures were not taken during the i-cord bind off but k2tbl is performed the same way.
Repeat from * til you have 3 sts in total left, slip the 3 stitches on your right hand needle to the left hand needle, k2togtbl, k1, slip last 2 sts back to the left hand needle, k2togtbl, Fasten off.
I hope that these picture tutorials have helped you get through some of the stitches in your Elsa Shawl. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
Happy knitting!

Caron Latte Cake is a bit thinner than the Red Heart Hygge. If you are unable to find the Caron Latte Cake (which seems to be a seasonal yarn that only comes out in the winter time), you can substitute with Red Heart Hygge if you don't mind the slight gauge difference. You will end up with a slightly larger shawl. I actually have an extra skein of Red Heart Hygge from my Homeschool Cardigan design so I will likely make another lovely shawl with it.
The only downside to using the Hygge yarn for this project is that they only come in one solid color whereas Caron Latte Cakes come with color changes.
Pattern
Materials
-6.5 mm knitting needles
-1 skein of Caron Latte Cake
-tapestry needle
Gauge
13.5 sts and 21.5 rows equals 4 inches

Notes
To make this shawl larger, cast on in multiples of 2+6.
If you decide to make this shawl larger, you will require more than one cake of this yarn.
Introducing the first knit pattern of year 2020: The Earl Grey Scarf.
The knit Earl Grey Scarf pattern is a beautiful gender neutral scarf that uses the eyelet lattice insertion stitch. I wanted to design a scarf that would suit my grandfather so I planned on a criss-cross look and I am very pleased by it's turn out.
Growing up in a Korean home, my brother and I were taught to bring a box of fruit or some food to offer to the people we were visiting. (When I lived in Korea to teach, parents always brought a little gift or something yummy to eat; this may have been when my donut obsession began as it was a common snack that was gifted.) This past Christmas I decided to bring him something handmade. As the years go by, we've noticed that his appetite for food has dwindled a lot. My father mentioned that food goes bad in the fridge all the time because my grandfather just cannot finish the food that is bought. So this year, I gifted him the Earl Grey Scarf.
I love how you can wear a traditional scarf in so many different ways. The pictures I took for this scarf, I wore it the two most common ways I like to wrap my scarf. But trust me, there are still so many different ways to use your scarf.
I hope that this knitting pattern finds you well and that you'll be interested in making one for yourself.
Materials
-5.0mm knitting needles
-1 skein of Caron Simply Soft Tweed in Gray Heather
-tapestry needle
Gauge
Every 18 stitches and 24 rows equal 4 inches.
Measurements
7 inches x 56 inches
Notes
-The length of the scarf can be shortened or lengthened to your desired length simply by knitting more or less of rows 7-10.
-Take note that if your desired length is longer than the measurements described in this pattern, you will require another skein of yarn.

The Summer Night Shawl is a special pattern that I worked on for quite a while. Not because it was hard but because I was not satisfied with the overall look. A lot of frogging and a lot of walking away were involved in the making of this shawl.
A great addition to your out-on-the-town attire.
Find me on Facebook and Instagram. Tag me with your finished Wildflower Cardi by using the hashtag #modestybylaura.
Happy crocheting!

What are some things that come across your mind when the word winter is brought up? Is it hot cocoa, s'mores, sitting in front of fire places, cozy blankets? Perhaps Christmas?
For me, the word 'winter' brings up images of cables. Who's with me here? Cables are everywhere during the cold season. I don't mind them. I think that they are so beautiful but making knit cables was not a favorite of mine when I tried it for the first time a few years back.
I don't know what happened during those short few years, but I think I may be a little addicted to them now. On the Clouds Beanie is my first cable beanie that I designed and guess what? I have another one designed that I haven't yet revealed. I plan to test the design one more time before sending them off to testers.
On the Clouds Beanie has a total of 8 cables running up the hat on a background of reverse stockinette stitch. The rim is about 3 inches thick and the height of the entire hat is roughly 9.5 inches long. Un-stretched the hat's circumference is 14 inches. The hat will fit the average size of a woman and also a child.
A simple tote with a touch of lace makes for a beautiful addition to your bag collection. With signature nautical colors, this bag is sure to catch everyone's eye.
The Nautical Tote is a beautiful and simple bag that includes both knit and crochet. The body of this tote is knit while the handles are crocheted. The body includes some eyelet v-stitches to make it stand out a little from just a plain colorblock tote.

This child size pixie style beanie is super fast to knit up and a great addition to your child’s fall and winter attire.
You may be surprised to find out that knitting was actually the first craft I learned between crochet and knit. While I've only known how to crochet for 2+ years, I've known how to knit for about 15 years.
The Autumn Beanie is my first ever knit hat design and the second hat I ever knitted in my life. Crazy, right? The reason behind this is because I look horrible in hats. It is very rare that I find a hat that compliments my face shape. Let's just say it's not one of my favorite accessories. However, my kids look super cute in them and with the cold winter ahead of us, I decided to design a hat that my kids would love.
This pixie hat would also look super cute in either red or green for a Christmas elf hat, don't you think?
The hat is a very basic and simple hat design; perfect for beginning knitters!
