New Knitting Patterns Roundup – July 2024!

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to Young Folk Knits. If you’re new here, I’m Kaci, and this channel is all about my passion for fiber arts, from knitting and spinning to sewing and more. Occasionally, I also share a bit about life on our small farm in Arkansas, where my family and I enjoy beekeeping, gardening, and raising chickens.

Today, I thought it would be fun to explore some of the newest knitting patterns released this past month. There’s always something exciting happening in the world of knitting, and it’s easy to miss out on new patterns. So, let’s dive into some of my favorites that you might have missed!
