10+ Lion Brand Flikka Crochet & Knit Patterns

July 11, 2018 by Ashleigh

Lion Brand Flikka is one of the best cotton yarns I’ve worked with to date! It’s not your typical, scratchy cotton that makes you question your faith in yarn. It’s soft, smooth, and easy on the eyes too! So I’ve gathered some of my favorite crochet and knit patterns using this yarn, and put them here in a neat, little post for ya.

COLORS, COLORS, COLORS!

This yarn works up beautifully. It tends to give a speckled look – think heather grey, but with multiple colors!

That’s because this yarn is spun with two strands – one that’s a base color with a neutral ecru tone and the other that’s a variegated mix of vibrant color. That way, you have one strand of solid color to tie together all of those saturated hues working along the yarn. Neat, huh?

Some of my favorite colors in this like are:

  • Keepsake, a soft neutral hue with tones of charcoal and blush
  • Grape Jelly, a fun punch of purples and hot pink
  • Birthday Cake, a bright mix of sprinkle inspired happiness
  • Dill Pickle, because that name is my favorite!

OTHER PATTERNS TO MAKE WITH FLIKKA

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS YARN

A few weeks ago, I released the Joni Topper using the Comfy Cotton Blend yarn in Chai Latte. This yarn is like Flikka‘s older, wiser sister. Why? Because Comfy Cotton is spun into a cake instead of a skein, giving you more yardage for your buck!

Joni is a light and airy summertime garment that is perfect to get you through this smoldering heat! (currently counting the days until fall…) She’s great to layer with a t-shirt or tank, while still keeping you cool – all thanks to Flikka.

  1. Crochet Joni Topper Kit from Sewrella – The open stitches in this piece make it nice and cool to wear during these summer months. The racerback and tassel fringe give it that effortless boho style to add a little pizzazz to any tee or tank you layer it with. In a few months, you could also pair it with a long sleeve top!

    Hello,
    As always, thank you for your email, and the patterns! I am having trouble though. When I click in the “P” for Pinterest, it brings me to your Pinterest account. I found this post under ‘Sewrella”, so I clicked on the P there. The problem is, that it brought me back to the blog, but the blog brings me back to your Pinterest boards.
    Is it me? I would appreciate any help that you can give me. Maybe I am just having a major dumb attack.
    Thanks!
    Cindy

    Your video & written instructions do not match for the May market bag, which should I follow?

    Love your easy to crochet designs. I plan on making the ruffled cardi in about 1 month, after I finish my current WIP. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent of crochet, love the very easy to follow video’s too!

    So, Flikka IS the same as Comfy Comfort Blend cakes? I knew those colors were awfully familiar!

    Thank you so much for reviewing this yarn, I have seen it online and loved the colors, but wondered about how it feels. Have not seen this line in the local shops but will def order online!
