Month: January 2019

Lunar New Years is highly celebrated and is a huge holiday in Asia. Being in Hong Kong, the celebration for Chinese New Year is huge. We say goodbye to the Year of the Dog and welcome the Year of the Pig. Pigs are known to be gentle, friendly, genuine and are energetic.

I made a pattern for a Mini Piggie Amigurumi for you to make. It’s a quick hook, using La Mia Cottony in any shade of pink. It’s pocket sized so you can make many and celebrate by giving your friends and family one this holiday season.

Materials:

La Mia Cottony in Light Pink (P13-L013)

3.25mm hook

2 amigurumi eyes (6mm each)

Purple scrap yarn for embroidering snout

Polyfill

Tapestry Needle

The Serendipity Scarf and Beanie set is inspired by the little moments in life. Finding a patch of bright flowers amidst a barren path, holding the door open for a stranger passing, cuddling up by a cozy fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa in hand.

The scarf and beanie duo are made using the softest, coziest Kartopu Punto Prints yarn by Hobium Yarns, which fills these pieces with a unique warmth and peacefulness.

The beanie featuring Hobium Yarn’s Gazzal Silk & Cashmere Knitting Yarn offers a certain touch of elegance to match the scarf’s superior comfort!

• Materials:
  Hobium Yarn’s Kartopu Punto Prints Yarn H1846 (6 skeins)
• Gazzal Silk & Cashmere Knitting Yarn, Blue – 458 (3 skeins)
• 6mm crochet hook (J)

I hope you enjoy the experience of creating your new favorite wintertime accessories!
