I’ve been talking a lot about my new project, Holla Knits, and I’m so happy to finally share my new patterns in the collection!
Put a Belt On It: A vest with working belt hardware, Put a Belt On It is knit up in both Knit Picks Swish DK and Wooly Wonka Fibers Aerten DK. It’s sized based on your natural waist measurement because you start with the belt and knit the rest of the vest around it. It’s CUTE! Purchase for $6. Ravelry Pattern Page. More info!
Umbre Lovre: A fun off the shoulder tee with umbre striping and honeycomb details, Umbre Lovre is knit up in Knit Picks Comfy Sport and Knits in Class Sport. It’s sized with 6″ of positive ease for an easy, breezy oversized look. Purchase for $6. Ravelry Pattern Page. More info!
In a While Crocodile: Sleeve detail is a great way to set an average knit tee apart, and In a While Crocodile has it in spades! Chose to keep the sleeve detailing simple, like shown above in the pink top knit up in Knit Picks Stroll Glimmer, or add crocheted crocodile stitch to the sleeves like shown above in the green top knit up in Dirty Water DyeWorks Lucia. Either way you’ll have a perfect tee to wear all summer long! Purchase for $6. Ravelry Pattern Page. More info!

I might have to try my hand at crocheting again (again!) because I love the crocodile stitch on the “In a While, Crocodile” tee. So adorable! I’m so happy for your new venture!!

I love all of the patterns here. I’m finishing a long sweater re-knit at the moment and these summery knits look so quick and ingeniously designed that I can’t wait to try one.

I definitely want In A While Crocodile. It has such a lovely shape and looks like it would work up quickly.
