Easy Crochet Vest with Big Collar, Crochet Video Tutorial


Hello, hello crocheting friends! 

Are you ready for fall? I certainly am! 

Not only I made myself a comfy and cozy popcorns sweater (see my previous post here), but also a nice and stylish vest with a big collar! 


The pattern is very easy! And the construction of this piece is a simple tube with holes for arms! That's it! 

What plays a big role here is the yarn! We need a very stretchy and soft texture for this vest to fit nicely! But not every yarn will create such texture! 





The yarn that I used is Unforgettable by Red Heart!

This vest can be made in any size! 

I created a detailed vide tutorial, and the written pattern is available in my Etsy shop



Happy October and Happy Crocheting!

Oversized Crochet Popcorn Sweater for Chilly Autumn Days


Hello Crocheting Friends! 

Autumn finally arrived to Northern California! And it was quite sudden! The temperature dropped from 90s to 70s! 

But that's ok! I'm ready for fall!


I crocheted myself several garments to keep me warm and cozy during chilly days! 

And one of them is this chunky, oversized crochet sweater with popcorns! 


Crocheting popcorns is so much! Yes, they are yarn-eaters, but they create such lovely texture and look! 


At first, I intended to make this sweater as something to wear around the house on cold autumn and winter days. But I really like the way it turned out! 

With jeans and boots, this is a quite decent outfit for running errands as well! 


I created a detailed video tutorial on how to crochet this sweater! 


And also the written patten is available in my Etsy shop

Happy crocheting and happy fall!

Crochet Women's Beanie Hat to Match the Cardigan, Free Crochet Video Tutorial


I really liked working with this stitch when I made my cocoon cardigan

So I didn't stop there, and made a matching hat too! 




I used the same yarn - Impeccable by Loops & Threads, and the same size hook - H (5 mm). 


Only about 150 yards of yarn are needed to make this hat! 



I filmed a detailed video tutorial on how to make this hat! 


And the written pattern is available in my Etsy and Ravelry shops. 




BUY THIS YARN! 


Happy Crocheting Friends!

Crochet Cocoon Cardigan, All Sizes, Plus Sizes


Hello Crochet Friends! 

I hope you are all enjoying summer! I'd say it's going by way too fast! 

Autumn is going to be here before we know it! So it's time to start crocheting warmer garments! 

Today I'd like to share my recent creation - a cocoon cardigan! 


I'm sure you've seen cocoon cardigans before; they are quite popular right now! 

But this is the first that I ever made! I chose my own stitch and made all the calculations for different sizes (from XS to 4XL). 



I worked with category 4, worsted weight (10 ply) yarn and a hook size H (5 mm). 

The specific yarn that I used is Impeccable by Loops & Threads. 

You can purchase it at Michael's, and right now it's actually on sale. 

The amount of yarn you will need is 2000 to 4000 yards, depending on the size. 

I created a super detailed video tutorial for this cardigan. 


And the written patter is available in my Etsy and Ravelry Shops. 




Happy crocheting Friends! 

Enjoy the summer before it's over!
