Let’s roll out the red carpet and get out our yarn because it’s time for the Academy Awards! From a murder mystery to family life in the 1860s we have projects to bring the silver screen into your everyday life. Knives Out We saw a real surge in interest in traditional hand knit sweaters when Chris Evans graced the screen in Knives Out sporting a beautiful cable knit sweater. Here are two great patterns that can get you his look using Patons Classic Wool worsted. Make sure to choose our Aran shade to really mimic the look. Knives Out - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8946378/ Patons Honeycomb Aran Patons Cabled Crew Neck If you still want that Chris Evans flair but are interested in a more back-to-basics project, work up the crocheted Father Pullover in Red Heart Super Saver. Red Heart Father Pullover Ana de Armas was also sporting knitwear in Knives Out. Her scarf in bright, bold colors are sure to brighten up your wardrobe in chilly weather. Try crocheting the Granny Takes a Dip Crochet Super Scarf to get the look. Substitute the recommended shades for Gold, Red, Black, Autumn Red, and Plum Wine (1 ball each) and work 20” [51 cm] sections of each color. Mix up the colors in the fringe along both ends to finish it off.
