This pattern is close to my heart. It’s the second top down sweater that I’ve worked on. I promise you, even when it’s old and tattered, I’m keeping it… it’s sentimental. We all go on this journey in life where we get to find out a little about ourselves and this sweater was one […]
Crochet Tee/Top with a high/low hemline
This tee/top… call it whatever you fancy, was so easy to work up. I used cotton yarns for this as I generally tend to go for cottons for warmer weather patterns and acrylics for cooler weather patterns, although this pattern works well with both cottons or acrylics. I was inspired by the high/low hemline on […]
Crochet Fringed Top
I wanted something fun and playful here… And that I got! I enjoyed working this piece, it’s worked top down (which, btw, is my favorite way of crocheting), and the stitch pattern is super easy. I love the way it sort of makes a “V” down the yoke and body. Even the tassels end up […]
Crochet Hooded Scarf
I remember working this hooded scarf. It was late at night, me in my pj’s, sitting up under my blanket in bed (It was a cold winter’s night, here where I’m from in South Africa) with my yarn and hook in hand. I remember being frustrated as I didn’t want (for the life of me) […]
Crochet Lace Summer Top
I use this all the time. It’s one of my closet staples. It’s the definition of everyday wear that’s comfortable and pretty too. If the stitch pattern that’s worked for the Body seems intimidating, don’t worry, there’s a video tutorial to help. I wore this once into town and here I am walking along when […]
Crochet Patterned Top
Another top that I successfully managed to work into a dress. Unlike my other crochet dress pattern, this one started off as a top. I love the stitch pattern that you see on the body of this top. Sometimes when I see a stitch pattern and I feel nothing but love for it, I have […]
Crochet Patterned Cardigan with Side Ties
I wanted something different for this cardigan. I wanted to add more elements of femineity to this pattern. I think I’ve achieved that with the stitch pattern I’ve chosen and then there’s those ties at the sides too that add a touch of femineity. – I’m at least hoping I did! The sides of this […]
Crochet Patterned Dress
This dress continues from the Crochet Patterned Top. The stitch pattern is repeated throughout the pattern with increases to the chain/s in between. The Crochet Patterned Dress is worked using the top down, in the round method. We begin at the neckline, working our way down the yoke and towards the body of the Top. […]
Crochet Patterned Sweater
I’ve used this stitch pattern multiple times, clearly I cannot get enough of it…lol. This pattern is worked in 3 major parts, ie: the yoke, the body and the sleeves. Pattern Notes Tips for making top down, in the round sweaters/ tops Measurements to fit chest/ bust Stitches and Abbreviations ch/ch’s = chain/s st/ st’s […]
