Modern Aran Cardigan

A forever kind of cardigan.

Aran knits have been found among our patterns from Lion Brand’s early history in the late 1800s and early 1900s all the way through today. Sculptural cables, generous pockets, and an easy silhouette give this archive-inspired knit a place in the everyday wardrobe. Recreated in Fishermen’s Wool®, it’s a classic to make, wear, and keep.

Bette Bag

A little vintage. A lot of possibility.

A midcentury Lion Brand tote finds a fresh expression in 24/7 Cotton®. With its textured stitches and simple shape, the Bette Bag brings a familiar favorite into a new generation of handmade style.

Tree of Life Afghan

A new chapter for an heirloom.

Our number one pattern of all time, the Tree of Life pattern holds a special place in Lion Brand history. Branching trees and rich, dimensional texture make this beloved design unmistakable. Reimagined in Wool-Ease®, it’s a meaningful project to settle into and a beautiful piece to pass along.

Heritage Striped Pullover

The stripes carry on.

The bold bands of our vintage Debby design inspire a fresh play of cream, green, and blue. A cozy silhouette and beautifully chunky stitches bring its enduring charm into the present.

Truboo Baby Mitts

Love, carried through generations.

In 1920, Jackie’s grandmother knit a pair of tiny blue mitts on her journey from Ireland to America. They warmed the hands of her eight children, traveled with Jackie’s father during his Army service, and were passed on to children and grandchildren.

Jackie, Lion Brand’s senior technical editor, shared their story as a reminder of what handmade pieces can hold: comfort, connection, and a little family magic. Now it’s your turn to begin an heirloom of your own.

Wool-Ease®

A family tradition.

Since the original Wool-Ease arrived in 1992, this much-loved family has helped turn everyday inspiration into sweaters, blankets, gifts, and keepsakes. From the familiar comfort of the original wool blend to new weights and textures, the family keeps growing with the makers who love it. Find your favorite and give a classic story your own signature.
