Mayanne Slouch Release

Hello Lovelies!!

September has just flown by and I can’t believe it’s October already. I guess that is one thing about the kids being back in school and having a semi-normal routine, time just seems to fly by.

Over here at A Knotty Habit Designs, I have been super busy with new fall crochet designs, planning fall colour options and organizing some really fun new products …. Ahem .… kit collaboration with a certain talented yarn dyer.

 I can’t give much away right yet but it is going to be awesome!!!

So, I am going to switch gears here so I don’t spill the beans accidently but seriously, keep watching my social media for announcements.

The past couple of weeks, I have been all about hats! I want to make them all and make all of them in all the colours of the rainbow but that would require many more hours and more hands.

I am positive my crochet to do list will outlive me with how many patterns I want to try, things I want to design and crochet gifts I want to give.

If you follow my social media, you may have already seen my new design, the Mayanne Slouch posted and I am so blown away with all the love it has been receiving.

I worked so hard to make this design unique and to stand out in the crowd and I wasn’t sure how it exactly it was going to go over but I was pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming support shown for it.

The Mayanne Slouch

The Mayanne Slouch uses some of my favourite stitches which gives it a pop of gorgeous texture. The braid looks much harder to do than it actually is.

I write out step by step details on how to do it and once you get the hang of it, it’s smooth sailing.

It has a flipped brim to give it that classic luxury feel and it adds extra warmth, which is welcomed here in Alberta.

Excitement has been rising all week with finished photos started rolling in from my lovely group of people who tested this pattern and seeing their colour choices and hearing their opinions just makes me so happy.

I honestly couldn’t design patterns with out my testers. They are the ones who make my patterns great!
