The Pattern
The Silver Lining Cardigan is an intermediate worsted weight knitting pattern that has a positive ease of 8-10 inches in the bust and positive ease of 2-3 inches in the arms. The body is worked bottom-up and the sleeves are worked in the round. The sleeves are set-in and are designed with sleeve caps. All pieces are seamed together and stitches are picked up for the collar. The motif that runs up and down the two front panels is the King Charles stitch.
The pattern is offered in sizes XS/S, M/L, and XL/2XL.
Design Story
According to Dictionary.com, the definition to silver lining is "a sign of hope or a positive aspect in an otherwise negative situation. The phrase is often seen as part of the proverb... meaning that there's hope or something good to be found in every bad situation."
Before we headed into this crazy year of lockdowns and social distancing, I designed a cardigan that spoke elegance, femininity, and modesty. In a world that sells sex through all platforms of media, I strive to create designs that convince ladies everywhere that you do not need to wear less to be sexy. You can still be this beautiful person without having to show off every bit of skin that you have. What makes you beautiful is what is inside: your humble heart.

Wow! I can't believe I'm sitting down and writing this blog post on the Mountain Breeze Pullover. I started designing this oversized knit pullover pattern almost a year ago. Yes, it took me that long. In September of last year (2019), I sat down and thought to myself that I should probably finish up this work in progress.
The Mountain Breeze Pullover made it's first appearance on my socials in October, tested in December and now finally debuting as my very first knit designed garment. What do you think?
The sweater was made using Lion Brand's Jeans yarn. It's a thinner worsted weight yarn so if you're looking for an advanced beginner knit pattern, look no further and try this pattern out. The yarn itself is very soft and it comes out beautifully knit.
The knitted pullover is easily a favorite that can be worn out or as a night in sweater. Looking for cozy? The Mountain Breeze Pullover is for you!
Pattern
Materials
-5.5mm circular knitting needles
- 5 (6, 7) Lion Brand Jeans in color Stonewash
-tapestry needle
Gauge
Every 24 rows and 18 stitches equals 4 inches.
Measurements
Measurements are rough estimates as reading can vary depending on how you spread your work. The pieces can stretch fairly easily so as long as your work is roughly around the measurements you’ll be okay.
Back Panel= S/M (27.3” length, 28.25” wide) L/XL (27.5” Length, 29.25” Width), 2XL/3XL (27.8” length, 30.25” in width)
Front Panel= S/M (22.5” length, 28.25” wide), L/XL (22.8” length, 29.25” width), 2XL/3XL (23” length, 30.25” width)
Sleeves- S/M (16.3”), L/XL (16.3”), 2XL/3XL (16.6”)
Armhole depth- S/M (7.75”), L/XL (8.75”), 2XL/3XL (9.75”)
Notes
-The sleeves are purposely designed to be longer than the normal arm length. If you would like them to be at wrist length, simply knit fewer rows.
-Everything is customizable for lengths. You can simply knit more or less rows to achieve your desired length.
-This pattern has a positive ease of 8-9 inches. If you’d like a smaller positive ease, size down.
Remember to tag me on my socials with your very own Mountain Breeze Pullover. I look forward to seeing it!
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!

The Pattern
The Winter Sonata Cocoon is a beginner-friendly knit pattern that includes a few intermediate techniques. The pattern is worked up in Lion Brand's Hometown USA and includes four different knit textures.
The cocoon is worked flat and then later worked in the round for the collar and the sleeves. You begin the cocoon starting with a provisional cast-on working the entire diamond motif of the back to the end of one sleeve. Later the provisional cast-on stitches are picked up and the remainder of the back and second sleeve are knitted.
The pattern is offered in 3 sizes: S/M, L/XL, and 2/3XL.
Design Story
Have you ever heard of the Kdrama Winter Sonata? Are you guessing what I think you're guessing? Yes, this cocoon was named with that Kdrama in mind. It was one of the very few Kdramas I remember watching in my teenage years. The sceneries that were shot for the Winter Sonata (Korean drama) made me want to hibernate. With the setting taking place in winter and with lots of snow, the Winter Sonata Cocoon reminded me of what I was missing while watching this drama, a cozy blanket-like garment.
After making your own, I can guarantee you that you will want to snuggle up in your Winter Sonata Cocoon all winter long.

Briar Rose Pullover Knit Pattern
The elegant cabled Briar Rose Pullover is an intermediate knitting pattern that uses bulky-weight Lion Brand yarn. This pullover is a fitted design and is a lovely addition to your winter knits.

The Pattern
The Briar Rose Pullover is an intermediate knit pattern. The pullover itself is a fitted sweater with very little or no ease. Lion Brand's Color Made Easy, which is a bulky weight category 5 yarn, was used to work up this sweater. Unfortunately, Lion Brand has discontinued this yarn. At the end of this post, you can explore some of the other yarns my testers have used for knitting up the Briar Rose Pullover.
This design is knitted bottom-up and displays a beautiful knotted cable on the left and right of the front panel. Sleeves are also knitted bottom-up and are designed to be set-in sleeves. Front and back panels, as well as sleeves, are seamed together and stitches are picked up for the collar.
Final bust sizes include: 32(35, 39, 43, 47, 51, 54).
Design Story
This simple yet elegant pullover was designed specifically for my mother who requested a pullover for Christmas... from two Christmases ago. 😅 I finally got around to designing this piece for her and she is loving it very much. She wears it quite often as the yarn has been keeping her nice and warm through 2020/2021's very cold winter.
The Briar Rose Pullover is my first knit pullover design. Since this sweater was designed for my mother, I wanted to design something that was a little more than just something simple. I added the knotted cable to add a simple touch to a plain pullover.

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!
The Acorn Cardigan Knit Pattern
Nothing says fall than a good deep orange cardigan that has acorn motifs along the front. Chipmunks and squirrels are bound to get them confused for the real thing. The Acorn Cardigan is made with Lion Brand's bulky weight Color Made Easy and the pattern is an advanced beginner knit pattern. Knit this beautiful bottom-top seamed cardigan and let the cute chipmunks and squirrels come to you!
Shop Modesty by Laura
The Pattern
The Acorn Cardigan is an advanced-beginner bulky weight knitting pattern. The cardigan has a positive ease of 6 inches in the bust and positive ease of an inch in the arms. The body is worked bottom-up and the sleeves are worked in the round. All pieces are seamed together and stitches are picked up for the collar.
Design Story
The Acorn Cardigan was designed specifically for my aunt who enjoys receiving handmade garments by yours truly. I tried knitting her a cardigan designed by another blogger. Unfortunately, the fit wasn't right and my aunt and I both agreed that I should do the designing of her next best and favorite cardigan.
So, what did I do? Yes, I unraveled that whole cardigan stitch by stitch. It hurt to see each stitch disappear as I pulled the yarn but something great came out of that yarn.
The yarn used for this knit project was Lion Brand's Color Made Easy in Kombucha. It is a bulky weight yarn that works up quickly and does great in both the washer and dryer.
