Patterns That Use Fancy Yarn

Our Patterns That Use Fancy Yarn collection is ideal for knitters who enjoy experimenting with textured, novelty and self-patterning yarns. Whether you love the softness of chenille yarn, the sparkle of eyelash yarn, or the unique effects created by self-striping, self-patterning and variegated yarns, these patterns help you make the most of your favourite speciality yarns.

Many of our designs combine fancy yarn with traditional 4 ply or DK yarn, allowing textured details, decorative trims and colourful effects to stand out without overwhelming the finished garment. The result is beautiful handmade clothing and accessories that are practical enough for everyday wear while offering something a little different.

This collection includes a variety of projects for babies and reborn dolls, ranging from everyday outfits to more decorative garments. Because different novelty yarns produce different effects, the same pattern can often create an entirely new look simply by changing your yarn choice.

Whether you're looking for eyelash yarn knitting patterns, chenille baby knitting patterns or inspiration for using novelty yarns already in your stash, you'll find plenty of ideas to help you create unique handmade garments.
