Spring is just around the corner, and this adorable Kelsey Dress is the perfect knit for the little girl in your life! Michelle used one just one skein of Recycled Tweed by @queenslandcollection for the smallest size and had leftovers! Sized for ages 12 months - 6 years, this cute little dress is perfect for spring or paired with a shirt and leggings on chillier days. Recycled Tweed is a DK-weight yarn made of 100% recycled materials, making it an earth-friendly and pretty choice.
We have lots of choices that work with this great little pattern. In addition to Recycled Tweed, Michelle recommends Malabrigo Arroyo or Plymouth Dreambaby.

Michelle wrote this Colorburst Celebration Cowl pattern as a THANK YOU and to celebrate one year of Tink & The Frog! Using just one skein of Wonderland Yarns & Frabjous Fibers March Hare in their Colorburst collection, this beginner-friendly project knits up quick using simple ribbing, stockinette and linen stitch. Michelle used the Blue Skies & Rainbows colorway.

Midwest mornings are still a little chilly... It`s the perfect weather for a light cowl! Cubes and Hues knitted in @gustowool`s Echoes is a soft and beautiful springtime accessory. This pattern uses brioche knitting, but a similar effect could easily be made with simple knits and purls.
Echoes comes in two identical mini-skeins with exciting gradients dyed on a fingering weight merino and nylon blend. This beautiful yarn is hand-dyed in Turkey.

Melissa crocheted this beautiful Duinen shawlette using a Mary Ann mini-skein pack from the Down the Rabbit Hole collection by @wonderlandyarns . This great pattern has multiple sizes and simple crochet stitches to create a stunning spring accessory! We have lots of mini-skein options to choose from, or try a Blossom to skip weaving in all those ends!

Christal knit our Perky Little Hat pattern in @malabrigoyarn #rasta in the Teal Feather colorway. This was a fun and quick knit, and there is enough yarn leftover for a pompom.... but we think it would look cute with a fur pom too - what do you think?
