To celebrate International Yarn Bombing Day (June 8th, in case you missed it), we decided to spread the yarn bombing love around our neighbourhood here at the Yarnspirations Design Studio. Designer Nicole came up with this fun knob cozy pattern, and we all crocheted and decorated the knob cozies into little animals (and a few fruits, and one adorable monster) to decorate the fence in front of our office! Check out our finished cozies below: Want to make your own? Get the free pattern below! It’s great for fence posts, doorknobs, and lots of other spots that could use a bit of yarny cheer.
