Willow & Lark patterns are designed to showcase the drape, stitch definition and softness of Willow & Lark yarn bases, so each design is written with a specific yarn weight and texture in mind. Whether you're after a cozy pullover or a quick accessory, these patterns make it easy to match project to yarn.
Choosing a Pattern for Your Skill Level
Simple silhouettes like the Catherine Scarf or Samantha Hat are great starting points for newer knitters, while garments such as the Beth Jacket or Vanessa Jumper involve more shaping and finishing work. Reading through the pattern notes before casting on helps you gauge the time and skill involved.
Matching Yarn to Pattern
Most designs in this collection pair naturally with Willow & Lark Yarn, since the drape and stitch definition were developed together. If you want to branch out, browse All Yarn to find a substitute with similar weight and texture.
