How are we already in this weird in between stage of summer and fall?! The end of summer is looming so that means my summer designs are also coming to an end. Luckily, The Palmar Pullover is perfect for this in between time!
The Picot Mesh stitch is one of my all time favorites for warmer makes! I think it’s one of yours too since The Zahora Cardigan was so loved! I used the Picot Mesh stitch for the Zahora and fell in love with the drape and comfy fit! After a few requests here and there for a pullover version I decided it was time to make one using Pima Cotton yarn! The Zahora used Lion Brand Comfy Cotton which is very similar to the Pima that I used here!
I wanted to give The Palmar Pullover a similar look to the Zahora with the speckled colors throughout a neutral base. Luckily, there is a few super cute options for the Pima yarn! I didn’t want it to be too overwhelming with color so I grabbed a neutral vintage and paired it with a colorful Seaglass! You might not even be able to see the striping, it’s so subtle! If you want to stick to solid stripes you can easily do that by picking 2 solid colors. Or, if you aren’t a fan of the stripes you can even make it in one solid color throughout! I definitely recommend grabbing the Lion Brand yarn kit so you can customize your look!
Total lake house vibes with my new cardigan crochet pattern! When I heard that name suggestion it was definitely a no brainer. The Lake House Cardigan is the perfect layering piece in the summer. Or really anytime of the year! It has a long flowy fit with an open lace stitch repeat. Plus, the Truboo yarn makes it extra silky. I can totally picture myself wandering around a summer house on the lake, sipping a glass of wine and crocheting by the water. Can’t you?
The construction of The Lake House Cardigan is very simple. 3 long rectangles, worked as long or as short as you want them! It’s super easy to adjust the length of this cardigan to your liking. After that, we just seam the shoulders together, then seam the sides together leaving a hole for our arms! Then the sleeves and the trim are added last.
Of course if you are a beginner or need a little extra help, I have a full video tutorial available for you! I go over step by step how to make your cardigan. I’m making a size small in the video so be sure to follow along with the written pattern, especially if your making a different size!
If you are using Truboo yarn like me, then you’ll notice it does stretch a bit with the weight of the cardigan as you go. The gauge listed below is a blocked gauge. So when you make your gauge swatch you’ll want to be just slightly under gauge. When you block your swatch it stretches to meet the correct gauge listed. I pinned mine and did a steam block. If you want to make your gauge unblocked it will be closer to 19 Dc by 11 rows for 4×4″
I hope you guys enjoy working up this cardigan! It was so fun to make and I love the finished piece! I have lots of other cardigan patterns available so be sure to check them out!
You guys already know I have a slight addiction to making fun C2C crochet patterns. Well, here’s another one for ya… The Squeeze The Day Throw crochet pattern! What’s better than bright happy lemons on a beautiful frosty background? I just love how it turned out so much! It totally reminds me of warm summer days in the middle of July. Perfect timing, right?!
This one has a similar style to The Daisy Day Throw. That one was a HUGE hit. My top performing pattern of the last few months, that’s for sure! You guys loved it so much and I hope you love this one too! Once again, I used Lion Brand Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling yarn to make it. And I can attest to the fact that it really is anti-pilling! My blanket was stuck in some prickers that I had to carefully pull off and then had to wash some dirt off. It definitely is anti-pilling to say the least!
This blanket is Corner 2 Corner (C2C) style. If you’ve never heard of that, it’s exactly what it sounds like! You work from the bottom right corner to the top left corner to create this blanket! Each block on the graph below is made up of a square. Each Sq is a Ch 3 and 3 Dc. I have the full written pattern down below as well as the graph. I always recommend cross referencing the graph if you think you made a mistake. The graph is EXACTLY how your blanket should look. If you think you have 1 too many yellow squares in a row, look at the graph, then look at your blanket! Do they match? If not you can go back and pull out your mistake!
If you need a little extra help with this blanket or your new to C2C I recommend checking out my video tutorial to get going! Once you learn the basics of the squares it’s easy breezy from there on out. If you need some extra help learning how to organize your yarn or keep it from tangling there are a ton of helpful videos and blog posts out there!
I hope you guys enjoy this pattern and I can’t wait to see all of your Squeeze The Day Throws!
Summer is in full swing here and I knew I needed to design a comfy tank top to wear! The Racing Summer Tank crochet pattern is light weight, soft and quick to make! It has a cropped look to it but you can easily make it as long as you want! It’s racerback style on the back with spaghetti straps!
I used your typical single crochet V-St for this tank top. What’s a V Stitch? Sc, Ch 1, Sc all into the same space! You will work your V St into the V from the row below! Then just repeat throughout the pattern. Easy peasy. If you want a bit more length just repeat the V St row right before the shaping on the front panel. Be sure to add the same amount of rows to the back as well.
Pair it with some cute jean shorts or a long flowy skirt! The Coboo yarn I used comes in so many nice colors, so you have tons of options! Grabbing the kit from Lion Brand is such a good deal. Basically you are just paying for the yarn and you get the printable PDF for free! They usually have a sale or coupon code running so you can grab it even cheaper! Make sure you subscribe to my email newsletter, I frequently notify about these good deals!
Need a little bit of extra help? If you are more of a visual learner than be sure to check out my video tutorial! If you have a question about the racing summer tank crochet pattern, it will most likely be addressed in the video!
Stepping out of my color comfort zone with The Electric Sun Tee Crochet Pattern! This oversized top was so fun to make! I used 3 different colors for mine and switched them out with each row. The stitches create a really cool wave effect!
This top is written with plenty of positive ease for a very oversized look! Because of the oversized fit, each of the 3 sized can fit a wide range of body shapes and sizes! You can also make your top longer if you want by adding as many row repeats as you want before you start the shaping of the neckline. Be sure to add the same amount on both panels!
Make sure you do not cut your yarn when you change colors. If you do, you will have a ton of ends to weave in! I kept my yarn attached with each color change. Then, when I come back to that color I simply picked it back up and switched colors. This leaves small floats along the outer edge of your panel. When we sew the front and back panel together, we will sew over the floats and they will be hidden within the seam on the inside of the shirt! And TaDa! You just save yourself a ton of work!
The first few rows might be a little tricky to remember the stitch repeat. If you need some extra help, be sure to check out my video tutorial! If you have a question, it is most likely covered in the video!
Every few months I get the urge to make a C2C crochet blanket and it never disappoints. The Daisy Day Throw was perfect to make on these cloudy spring days, to bring some happiness. I don’t know if you guys have noticed but the 90s are making a big comeback in design and fashion! I think that the Daisy Day Throw fits in perfectly with 90s vibes. It reminds me of my childhood and I love it!
The Daisy Day Throw is a Corner 2 Corner (C2C) blanket which means it’s made from the bottom right corner, diagonally to the top left corner. If you’ve never made a C2C then I recommend checking out my video tutorial as you create the blanket. You could even work up a practice swatch before diving into the project.
I also recommend making separate balls of yarn to help prevent cutting and joining your yarn with each color change. For example, when you get to the petal sections you will want a separate ball/skein of yarn for each petal and a separate ball for the blue sections in between. That way you don’t have to cut and join the yarn each time. Now, at some points there will be NO avoiding the cutting of the yarn. You will have to do it and you will have ends to weave in. I found with this blanket that it wasn’t too overwhelming and I got them all weaved in within an hour or so. If you need some visuals on how to keep your yarn organized there are lots of tutorials available out there!
Have you seen the beautiful Scarfie yarn colors that Lion Brand has? When I saw the Seafoam/Clay color I totally fell in love. I got some and decided to use it for a future project. That future project turned into the Coastal Shores Wrap! I actually worked on this design while I was visiting family at the beach. I played around with a few different stitch ideas but ultimately settled on a beautiful ripple stitch because it reminded me of the sunrise/sunset on the coast!
The way that the colors changed so perfectly in this project made me so happy. It really did give me warm, beachy sunset vibes. There is a ton of different color options in this yarn that I think would look so great!!
Once you get the stitch repeat down the Coastal Shores Wrap is a really relaxing project. It worked up so quickly for me and was really fun to do. If you need any extra help be sure to check out my video tutorial!
The Stony Shore Cardigan Crochet Pattern is here! I’ve been wanting to make something with this stitch for a long time and I’m glad I finally did it! I also knew immediately I would be doing a loose balloon style sleeve. I actually attempted it on my Sunset Bomber but it just didn’t go with the style. I’m sooooo happy that it worked out that way because they look AMAZING on this cardigan.
I’ve been posting sneak peeks of this sweater on TikTok and Instagram. The amount of crocheters that told me they couldn’t wait for this pattern was kind of insane. I can’t even begin to tell you all how much I appreciate the love and support on this design. It’s also a bit nerve wracking because I hope it lives up to the hype. I just want you all to love it as much as I do. Even my husband said this was his favorite sweater of mine and he is my toughest critic when it comes to crochet!! lol.
The Stony Shore Cardigan Crochet Pattern is worked in separate panels from the bottom up and is beginner friendly. Once you get the bead stitch nailed down it’s a breeze to make. You will alternate bead stitch rows and double crochet rows throughout. You can easily make your sweater longer or shorter by adding/taking away rows in multiples of 2 before tying off. Same with the sleeves!
I had to do it. I just couldn’t help myself. After making The Luna Cardigan using Lion Brand Go For Fleece Sherpa I KNEW I had to make a blanket. The Forever Winter Throw is here and definitely my coziest blanket pattern! Not only is it the coziest but it’s also the easiest.
Even a beginner can do this project! The entire blanket is worked up in single crochet stitches. You can easily feel your stitches as you go and I even made a video tutorial to help you out!
If you want your Forever Winter Throw to be bigger just add more chains to the starting chain and add more rows until you are happy with the size! I only used 7 skeins for mine.
I’m back with another seasonal design. This time, I decided to combing my love of crochet, yarn and fall colors to make The Willow Wall Hanging! The Willow Wall Hanging is beginner friendly and honestly just super fun to make. It was a nice break from a long garment project and it really lets your creative side shine! It goes great with my fall/Thanksgiving decor!
I picked a bunch of different yarn from JOANN for this project. Basically I just walked up and down the aisle with a color pallete in mind and grabbed all the yarn colors that went with my vision! I wanted a warm autumn look to mine but you can easily mix it up with whatever colors you want! I also did not follow any rules when it came to picking the fiber type and weight. I used light weight yarn all the way up to Jumbo! Really, anything goes!
Another fun thing with this project was picking out the floral. JOANN has an amazing selection of flowers, stems and picks. I matched up my yarn and flowers as I went. You can easily customize the colors to your liking. You can even leave the pumpkins off. Or maybe even switch them out with every season!
I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial! Be sure to check out the full video tutorial if you need any extra help! Will you be making a Willow Wall Hanging?!
