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!

Holly Scarf Free Knit Pattern
The Holly Scarf is a beginner-friendly knit pattern worked with Lion Brand's Vanna Choice and Go For Faux Thick and Quick. This quick two-hour project is an easy first project and brings some heat for the wintertime. Keep your neck warm through this cold winter season and knit this scarf now!
To pin this pattern for later, please visit Pinterest.
The Pattern
The Holly Scarf is an easy beginner-friendly knit pattern that only uses the garter and ribbing stitches. It is a fun and quick weekend project that assure you warmth through the winter months. It is the perfect accessory for the winter.
The Design Story
The Holly Scarf was designed alongside the Holly Earmuffs. I was asked to collaborate with a group of Asian designers for a Lunar New Year's crochet giveaway and added this beginner-friendly scarf with the Holly Earmuffs for the winners to have a free knit pattern to try out.
Sometimes I meet new makers that only know how to do one or the other and I am always excited to hear when a maker is determined to learn the other art. To encourage the mentality of wanting to learn a new yarn craft, I designed a knit pattern to throw in the mix of crochet patterns.
Materials
-25 yards of Lion Brand Go For Faux Thick & Quick
-40 yards of Lion Brand Vianna’s Choice
-9.0mm and 15.0mm knitting needles or whatever needles that will meet the gauge
-tapestry needle
Abbreviations
BO-bind off
k-knit
p-purl
sts-stitches
Gauge
Ribbing-4.5 sts and 3 rows equal 1 inch
Faux yarn-1.5 sts and 2 rows equal 1 inch
Measurements
85 inches in length
Width in faux yarn-4.5 inches
Ribbing-1.45inches
Notes
All dimensions of this scarf can be altered.
To add more or less width to the scarf, simply cast on more or less (odd number of stitches).
To adjust any of the lengths, whether the ribbing or the faux yarn, knit more for longer and less for shorter.
With 9.0mm needles, hold two strands of Vanna’s Choice and cast on 7.
Row 1: k1, *p1, k1; repeat from * to end
Row 2: p1, *k1, p1; repeat from * to the end
Rows 3-100: repeat rows 1 and 2
Switch to 15mm knitting needles and Go For Faux yarn.
Rows 101-136: knit
Switch back to 10mm knitting needles and two strands of Vianna’s Choice.
For row 137, pull tight on your yarn as to not let the gauge become loose here.
Rows 137-237: repeat rows 1 and 2
BO
Weave in all loose ends.
Ending Remarks
I hope that you enjoyed the Holly Scarf knit pattern. I would love to see your very own Holly Scarf.

Cheese in the Trap Cardi Knit Pattern
What comes to mind when you think of cheese? Maybe swiss cheese? Inspired by the Korean drama, movie, and webtoon, I present to you the Cheese in the Trap Cardi. This cheesy, cozy, fitted knit cardigan is the perfect garment in cool fall weather.
Shop Modesty by Laura
The Pattern
The Cheese in the Trap Cardi is a fitted cardigan worked bottom-up with set-in sleeves with 2 strands held together. The yarn used was Yarn Bee 44th Street in Mustard. Roughly 2,000 yards of yarn are needed to complete the only size offered at the moment. The yarn is considered a category 3 (DK) but is a thinner DK weight yarn and can be found at Hobby Lobby.
The Cheese in the Trap Cardi is only offered in size XS/S. Unfortunately, I was unable to figure out the math for this particular design specifically because of the front panels. I am hoping to figure out the grading for this irresistible cardigan next spring. Stay tuned!
Design Story
I was inspired to design this cardigan after watching both the Korean drama and movie of the webtoon, Cheese in the Trap. I had originally thought of making this cardigan a plain yellow garment but another big-time blogger came out with something similar. To not become a "copy-cat", I decided to design my cardigan more fitting to the name I decided to give it.
When I think of cheese, Swiss cheese always comes to mind which happens to be one of my favorite cheeses. (Brie cheese comes in first place in my heart though.) To represent that holey Swiss cheese, I used the beautiful diamond lace stitch to complete the look.
A lot of time was spent calculating out this detailed garment and I am truly pleased with the way it came out.
The Cheese in the Trap Cardi was a fun design to create and also my favorite out of all the garments that I have designed thus far. Because of this, it makes me sad that I am not able to have this pattern size inclusive. (One day, it will. I promise.)
Purchase your pattern today. Sit down in front of the TV with your knitting needles in hand with the Kdrama streaming. By the end of the drama series, you should have your very own Cheese in the Trap Cardi!

Take a stitch marker and mark between stitches 120 and 121. (This number will be different if you chose to add or minus length to your shawl.)
Work stockinette for the remainder of this pattern.
Knit 10 stitches past the stitch marker.
Perform a German short row on the 10th stitch you knitted. Purl up to 9 sts past the stitch marker and perform a German short row on the 9th stitch you purled.
Continue knitting rows by adding 3 sts past the last German short row performed until you have 34 sts left on both ends (ones that have not gone through the German short rows).
Stockinette 4 sts past the last German short row for a total of 6 rows. You should have 22 sts remaining on each end.
Stockinette 6 sts past the last German short row performed for a total of 2 rows. You should have 16 sts on either end.
Stockinette 8 sts past the last German short row performed for a total of 2 rows.
Stockinette the last 2 rows and BO.
Block your shawl.
