To celebrate the release of Lovey-Dovey please enjoy 50% off the pattern price with the code LOVEY until Monday 17th February!

The yarns I used for my samples are available from the lovely folks at Convent and Chapel Wool Shop in Rylstone NSW. Pop into the physical shop (you should, there’s so much gorgeous yarn to pet), or if you buy online, they can hook you up with a yarn combo that you’ll love, and a copy of the pattern.

The Lovey-Dovey scarf and shawl are all about the feels. You can knit them to express romantic love, familial love, friend love, community love, and self-love. They make great baby gifts, get-well gifts, thinking-of-you gifts, thank-you gifts, and of course - you can knit them for yourself for joy, for hope, for healing, and for fun!

The Lovey-Dovey is designed with both the final product and knitting experience in mind. Short and varied panels of lace and garter stitch keep you relaxed and enjoying the momentum of creating your scarf/shawl while enjoying the tactile pleasure of delicate, fluffy yarns running through your hands. Both the scarf and shawl are rectangular and knit on the bias and are adjustable in both width and length to suit your needs.

I hope you enjoy knitting your Lovey-Dovey, for lovers, for friends, for kiddos, and for yourselves!

Needles & Notions
3.5mm (US 4) needles for the scarf and 6mm (US 10) for the shawl. I like to use 80cm (31 1/2”) circular needles but straight are fine also. 1 stitch marker for beginning of RS rows (recommended) and extra markers for repeats (optional). Tapestry needle for sewing in ends.
