Lion Brand’s designers made lots of garments and accessories inspired by the Northern lights and chilly weather in Iceland – and then traveled all the way there to snap these low key (or high key) beautiful photos! And I gotta say, the pieces are just as captivating as the landscapes.
LB has been such a great company to design for and I am honestly a fan of all their yarns. So when I saw that they worked so hard to put this collection together, I knew I had to show them some love in return and share all the FREE patterns with y’all. They also made sure there was quite a variety for both crocheters and knitters alike – over 30 patterns altogether! *yowza!*

CROCHET PATTERNS
Click the title links below each corresponding image to check out the new featured free patterns from Lion Brand!
There you can purchase the KIT for the design or click the yellow “Free Pattern” download button!
- Crochet Dalla Afghan – A beautiful group of 5 shades of Mandala and Mandala Baby yarns – and proving that cake yarns aren’t just for striping. I am loving all the blue and yellow hues and how they really are reminiscent of an aurora!
- Crochet Carina Cardigan – Oh, this thick and comfy cardigan! This is something I would definitely throw on over my yoga pants and boots to stay warm.
- Crochet Anders Cowl – The fuzzy, warm texture of Homespun Thick & Quick (in granite stripes) was made for scarves and cowls. And you only need two skeins of it here!
- Crochet Gretel Mitts – These uber easy fingerless mittens with a little color blocking look so nice! This would be a great pattern for craft fairs and gifts this season.
- Crochet Frode Shawl – This marled earth tone scarf is chunky and cozy – perfect to make for a winter getaway to the mountains!
- Crochet Hadar’s Bag – This bag is made with Jeans yarn, one of my all time favorite yarns – so obviously I’m in love with it. And that boho chic vibe it has going on?? It’s like it’s begging to be taken to a festival. LB is really nailing it here y’all.
- Crochet Heige Hat – This beanie is one of my favorite patterns out of all these here. I feel like the Scarfie yarn (in cream/taupe) it was made with just belongs somewhere snowy.
- Crochet Viveca Top – I love this little cable down the middle, and all the different stitches they incorporated here. I really applaud them, because that’s too much math for my brain. And with only one skein of the Pound of Love?! Truly a work of art.
- Crochet Ulrica Shawl – Are y’all feeling an aztec-y vibe here? I sure am! The royal blue and golden yellow stripes are a great addition to your winter wardrobe. And those little hidden tassels at the bottom! *high fives LB*
- Crochet Vasti Shawl – This shawl also uses minimal yarn for how much garment you get out of it! Only two skeins of Shawl in a Ball!! (one of each in moonstone & om opal) Also another aurora-esque looking design.
- Crochet Soren Scarf – The Vanna’s Choice yarn used here is so great for any project. It’s a really versatile acrylic based yarn, and not to mention affordable at under $5 a ball!
- Crochet Tilda Cowl – Aaaand another two skein project! I think the Heartland line is one of Lion Brand’s underrated yarns. You don’t see a ton of people talking about it but with so many great heathered colors, you can’t go wrong. And that ruffled texture makes this cowl a showstopper!
- Crochet Solveig Skirt – I feel like you don’t often see crochet skirts, but this is definitely a good one. That tie at the waist and the gradient style blues have me feelin’ some kinda way.
- Crochet Sonja Cowl – Oh, Flikka… you beautiful speckled yarn, you… This is the same colorway I used to make my Joni topper from summer! As you can see, it doubles as a winter color too. This cowl is a great neutral piece to have on hand to throw on with any outfit.
KNIT PATTERNS
Click the title links below each corresponding image to check out the new featured free patterns from Lion Brand!
There you can purchase the KIT for the design or click the yellow “Free Pattern” download button!
- Knit Birger Cardigan – That stitching at the edge of the stripes is EVERYTHING. May or may not have to use that in a future cardigan myself. Also, that wide scooped neckline is a nice little touch.
- Knit Betania Cardigan – It’s got pockets. It’s got stripes. It’s got slouch. What more could you need? I am living for this cardigan you guys. With several skeins of Wool Ease Thick & Quick, you’ll have yourself this sweet cardigan to lounge in.
- Knit Annelis Armwarmers – One skein of Cupcake in Tundra (or any color would be gorgeous) and bam! Armwarmers. This is a really fun way to add some extra layers when the weather gets chilly, without having to add a whole ‘nother sweater.
- Knit Jutka Cardigan – Y’all, I am loving every little detail about this little cardigan. (also loving the turtleneck layered underneath) The easy stitching, the straight and smooth silhouette, the half sleeve, and those little open stitches at the bottom. Perfect execution of a simple cardigan layer.
- Knit Freya Cardigan – Love the color change for the sleeve here! The color combinations for this are endless (especially when you have as many choices as Vanna’s Choice) – pastel blue & plum, navy & charcoal, peachy pink & cream. This is definitely a pattern to get creative on.
- Knit Folke Pullover – I am thinking ugly Christmas sweater for this one – but in the best kind of way. Just love everything about it. A+.
- Knit Gerda Pullover – The color blocking! This would also be fun to play with colors – and the Heartland here that we talked about earlier has 32 colors… Get swatchin’!
- Knit Huldra Hat – Scarfie yarn fades from one color to the next so beautifully – and this is the perfect pattern to show that. This quick pattern will have you whipping out hats for everyone in the family!
- Knit Joost Pants – I don’t know about you, but knit pants sound pretty amazing. Soft and cozy, the ultimate loungewear. And they are made from the obvious choice of yarn for pants – Jeans! (you only need 5 balls of vintage)
- Knit Petrine Cardigan – This cardigan is a masterpiece. Hands down the most striking sweater here. All made from the wonderful – you guessed it – Jeans, again! It’s that good you guys. If you’ve made it this far without finding a pattern for you, (and you haven’t made anything with this line of yarn yet, or even if you have) this is a great project to work on this holiday season.
- Knit Dagny Pullover – I made my Simple Knit Sweater from this exact yarn (Wool Ease Thick & Quick in Fisherman) so I can honestly say that this yarn turns out a solid sweater. One that will hang in your crochet closet for years to come. Also loving it paired with those pumpkin leggings. This is the ultimate fall outfit y’all. Anyone want to wear this with me to get a PSL from Starbucks? (yes, I’m that girl… but this is a no judgement zone)
- Knit Wilhelmina Pullover – The Comfy Cotton Blend yarn (it’s just like Flikka – read about them here) used here is great for sweaters and garments. And you only use 3 cakes of it here! 25 dollar sweater, here we come!
- Knit Vogar Cardigan – This cute, heathery 3/4 length sleeve sweater is fun and shimmery – thanks to Shawl in a Ball! It’s the perfect pattern for the in-between fall season.
