a little bit of yarn. a little bit of life.
Anyone else continuously adding more pumpkins to their house all season? I just added the fourth one to our tv cabinet and my husband said I was getting a bit extra LOL. Can’t stop, won’t stop!
The Coffee Bean Pumpkin is an easy knitting pattern named after the Coffee Bean Beanie patterns I have been designing this year. You can check them out here! The slip stitches create a little coffee bean looking stitch, hence the name.

You typically don’t take orders at a market, so you need to have actual items available for purchase. I usually do one or two markets during the holiday season and I am by no means an expert. So I polled my followers on Instagram who do markets and asked them for their best selling items! I have rounded up my favorite patterns/designers in each category to give you a list that I hope will be helpful as you prepare for another successful market season. You got this!

Hats is the obvious first category, right?! I selected a few simple, gender neutral patterns that would be great sellers at markets. If you live somewhere cold, you will most likely sell a lot of hats in a variety of sizes.
The first is my own. The Lazy Day Beanie is a bulky weight design written in 8 sizes. It’s quick and great for the whole family. You can top with a pom pom or leave it plain! I almost always use Lion Brand Color Made Easy for this design!

The Marcie Table Runner was a design idea I had back in March. I have seen a lot of crocheted table runners but not any patterns for knitters. I knew I wanted something light, lacy, and perfect for any home, vintage or modern.
I named this design after my mom, Marcie, because she is my role model and the reason I started working with yarn in the first place. She’s also pretty and sweet, just like this pattern!

Ready for another dishcloth pattern? The Willow Dishcloth features two beautiful stitches; the hurdle stitch and the seed stitch. I combined both together for a fun, textured dishcloth that is quick to make and practical in your kitchen.

Here’s another one for the knitters! This is the sister pattern to my Redbud Dishcloth crochet pattern. My favorite thing about this pattern is that the texture looks really detailed, but it’s actually super quick and easy!

If you make one of these patterns with your scraps, let me know by tagging me in a story on IG @kneedlesandlove. And of course tag the designer as well. We would love to see!
