Vest

Anthem Vest

Cropped buttoned vest. KNit in a lace pattern for summer fun.

Sleeveless

This airy top will be your companion layered over a flowy dress while you take in the warm breeze and bask in the sunshine. It’s simplicity at its best! The checkerboard motif is dotted with delicate lace diamonds. Buttons along the center back create a contemporary vibe for a classic design.

Blanket

Light In the Window

The design features five colorways from the Lion Brand Basic Stitch collection. Select a bright or light colorway for one rectangle in the center panel (color E) to symbolize the light in the window, a light that represents care and love. (who doesn't need more of this?)

With a bit of planning, the inspiration design can easily be adapted for machine knitting.
