8 Vanna's Choice Patterns to Knit
If you've found yourself with a few balls of this lovely yarn, check out these free knitting patterns!
As much fun as it is to try new types of yarn and fibers when we knit, all of us seem to have that yarn that we come back to whenever we need something that we know looks good, feels good, and is a delight to knit with. A lot of people look to the big yarn brands that you can find in the majority of craft stores—Bernat, Red Heart, or Lion Brand, for instance—and countless people really love Vanna's Choice yarn.
Vanna's Choice comes in over fifty colors, in easy-to-care-for acrylic and versatile worsted weight, so it's no wonder that it's such a popular yarn choice for knitters. There are even multiple varieties of Vanna's yarns, such as Vanna's Choice Baby, Vanna's Style, and Vanna's Glamour.If you've found yourself with a few balls of a lovely Vanna yarn and you're looking for some ideas to do them justice, we've got you covered.
1. Cranberry Kiss Ribbed Hat
If you've only got one skein of Vanna's Choice yarn and you're not sure what to do with it, this Cranberry Kiss Ribbed Hat is a great idea! While we love the deep red color of it, it would look just as beautiful in any color, making it perfect for using up that one lonely ball in your stash. Bonus: it's super easy to knit.

2. Patch Sampler Throw
The best thing about the Patch Sampler Throw is that you don't need to have any real color scheme going on in your yarn stash to have fun with this. You just need five different colors of Vanna's Choice Yarn with three skeins of each, and you're ready to roll. This pattern is great because you can practice different stitch patterns while still working up something warm and cozy.
3. Chic Baby Cardigan
It's always more fun to knit a baby sweater rather than an adult's sweater because it's so much quicker (and cuter)! It certainly helps that it uses up less yarn; the smallest size of this cardigan pattern uses only two balls of one color and one ball of a second color of Vanna's Choice yarn. Be aware that this pattern does take some skill to complete, but it's a great choice for a first sweater for any knitter.
4. Paint Palette Cowl
The Paint Palette Cowl is ideal for knitters who have knit a thousand scarves before and are looking for something a little more unique. The textured look of this cowl is achieved through using three different types of yarn, including two skeins of Vanna's Choice yarn in Burgundy.
5. Pumpkin Hat Knitting Pattern
There's no need to be so serious with your knitting! Some of the most fun patterns to knit up are the ones that aren't necessarily vogue couture. Check out this Pumpkin Hat Knitting Pattern for example. This cute hat needs only scraps of Vanna's Choice yarn in two colors, with the body of the hat being knit in another worsted weight yarn. So, if you have some weight 4 orange yarn lying around and need something to do with that black and green Vanna's Choice yarn, this is the pattern for you.
6. Sunshine Day Baby Throw
If you've got a baby you can knit for, consider yourself lucky: you can knit the Sunshine Day Baby Throw! This pattern is perfect if you've found yourself with a whole bunch of Vanna's Choice yarn and you don't know what to do with it. It takes not only five skeins of Vanna's Choice, but five of Cotton-Ease yarn as well, since the yarn is held double throughout the pattern, so be sure that you're prepared going into this pattern.
7. Slip Stitch Sampler Afghan
This pattern is your new magnum opus! The Slip Stitch Sampler Afghan is nothing to sneeze at, utilizing nine different colors of Vanna's Choice yarn in varying quantities. While it's fun to go through the pattern and learn how to do all these different kinds of slip stitch techniques, be aware that this afghan is a big time commitment and only the strong-willed should take it on.
8. Paintbox Scarf
If you're not quite sold on the commitment of a whole afghan with your stash of differently-colored Vanna's Choice yarns, perhaps this Paintbox Scarf is more your speed. You can still show off all of the lovely colors in your favorite yarn, but it's not quite a months-upon-months job you're signing yourself up for. Plus, you can wear this out and show it off! This one will take 9 differently-colored balls of Vanna's Choice yarn.
