Divide for sleeves
Wool & Pine has a stunning new pattern. This is the Hearthside Pullover (pattern purchased on Ravelry).
Hearthside is Here Hearthside Pullover and Hearthside Cardigan are 30% off through Monday, February 16 on woolandpine.com and Ravelry. no code needed.
Two silhouettes. One cozy, stash-loving family.
Hearthside Pullover is all about color, texture, and making the most of the yarn you already have. Knit seamlessly from the top down with thoughtful shaping throughout, this v-neck sweater pairs plush two color brioche with garter accents for a sweater that you’ll never want to take off.
Squishy like it’s cushy cardigan sibling, the pullover leans lighter and more tailored. The garter stitch accents at the hem, cuffs, and V neck are worked with two strands of fingering weight yarn held together, creating a fabric that feels wearable and balanced, while the brioche still brings that signature bounce and depth with marled strands for both the foreground and background colors.
The result is a pullover that feels easy to throw on with soft squishy structure thats surprisingly light on the body. Beautiful shaping for comfort and endless color play.
Why You Will Love It
- Plush two color brioche with incredible depth and squish
- Thoughtful shoulder and neckline shaping for a polished fit
- Lighter garter accents for everyday wearability
- Designed for stashbusting and marling different colors
- Perfect for leftovers, minis, speckles, and sets
- Video tutorials included for key techniques and color planning
Construction Overview
Hearthside Pullover is worked top down, beginning flat through the yoke and transitioning to working in the round for a seamless finish.
- Back shoulders are worked first in garter stitch with German short rows to shape the shoulders and back neckline, flowing directly into two color brioche
- Front shoulders are picked up from the cast on edge for added stability, shaped with short rows and increases for the V neckline
- Front and back are joined at the underarm and the body is worked in the round in two color brioche
- The body finishes with a tidy marled garter hem
- Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes and worked in the round in two color brioche, gently shaped for a great fit and finished with two strand garter cuffs
- The V neck collar is worked last in two strand garter stitch and features a clean folded detail for a tailored finish
Every step is designed to feel intentional, smooth, and satisfying on the needles.
Yarn & Color Play
Hearthside Pullover is designed for fingering weight yarn held double. Experiment with using different colors for each strand to blend your leftover yarn.
- Brioche:
2 strands held together for the Foreground (FG)
2 strands held together for the Background (BG)- Garter stitch (hem, cuffs, collar):
2 strands held togetherChanging just one strand at a time allows colors to blend softly and organically across the fabric. Speckles and tonals create gentle fades and layered texture. Solids and high contrast variegated yarns will create stronger striping, which is also beautiful, just a different look. See our tester’s versions for tons of inspo!
This afternoon I separated my sleeves from the body. This picture was taken at 5pm. After making dinner, eating and cleaning the kitchen I knit more. While watching a movie I finished the next pattern repeat. Now a bit more knitting before bed.

New Accessories
We have brand new Cocoknits accessories. Meet the Notions Cup, Notions Dish and Notions Tray. These are available online and in the store.
Our magnetic Notions Tray is designed to keep tools and small accessories close by - like a YARN SNIP, TAPE MEASURE, or ROW COUNTER. Whether you're knitting, crocheting, quilting, or looking for a cute desk organizer, this PLA tray will be your new favorite accessory. The sleek design securely holds your pins, paperclips, and stitch markers with its strong magnets. The sides prevent pencils from rolling off, while the pleasantly curved angle allows easy retrieval of stitch markers.
It is made of PLA (100% biodegradable plant fiber) and is petroleum plastic-free. Three embedded magnets keep your metal Cocoknits notions secure and can also hold the COCOKNITS NOTIONS DISH and COCOKNITS NOTIONS CUP (sold separately).
I didn’t take a set home for myself but will definitely get them when our next order arrives which should be before the end of the month. It’s already been placed with my supplier.
Last night.
Tonight.

Lynn made a mess unpacking boxes this morning.
Lots of yarn from Biches & Buches. I need to get it online - my job tomorrow morning. I’ve spent way too much on the website today and my eyes need a rest. We received a yarn that I’m not supposed to talk about until Monday. Since I play by the rules I won’t show it or put it online until then. It will go live at 12:01am on Monday - you’ll see it on the front page of the website.Lang Cloud arrived today and it is on the website.Dad and Beth just finished making banana muffins. Now it’s TV/knitting time.

New Project
Just Tone It is a free pattern from Susan Ashcroft. You can download the pattern on Ravelry.
Every time the Games are on, I release a freebie pattern for something that’s relaxing to make while watching the action. This is be this year’s freebie pattern. ____________________________________________
This is a relaxing to make double loop cowl using DK (or similar weight yarn) - the bias strip is knitted flat and then seamed.
Approximate size as written: 20 cm wide x 130 cm long (8” wide x 50” long)
This morning I tracked our boxes from Biches & Buches and they are finally in Mississauga. Hopefully this means that they will be delivered this week.
I started a new sweater yesterday afternoon. This is the Happy Camp Sweater by Brienne Moody. I’m using Dyed in the Wool (Bitter Pill) with Emma’s So Sporty (In Sheep’s Clothing and Hundred Ochre Wood).
Now back to the football game. I hope the second half is more exciting.
