I’ve always wanted to crochet a cute little vest but I wanted to do something a little more unique than just all basic stitches. I knew I wanted to incorporate granny squares or motifs somehow after being inspired by a shower curtain with pretty motifs along the middle that reminded me of sunshine. That’s how we ended up with The Sunnyside Vest crochet pattern!
The Sunnyside Vest is worked in 3 separate panels after you get the motifs worked up. Each size will have a different amount of motifs along the back. Once you make all of your motifs you will join them together before finishing the back panel from the bottom up. The front panels are also worked from the bottom up before being joined at the shoulder and side seam.
I used Cotton Bamboo Linen yarn from Lion Brand which is a Fine (2) weight yarn. This is a newer yarn and has some lovely colors. I used Shale for my Sunnyside Vest crochet pattern. I loved the lightweight feel of this yarn and the fiber combo is perfect for a warm weather garment!
You will notice some of the sizes are combination sizes. This is due to the fact that it is a form fitting garment and the motifs along the back are all the same size. To find your size, just locate your bust size on the chart!
Usually I make a full video tutorial walkthrough for my designs. For this one I was not able to do a tutorial for the entire thing. I did make a video on how to make the motifs, join the motifs, and set up the first row for the back panel. In my opinion this might be the trickiest part for beginners so I wanted to make sure I provided a visual for you guys! After you are all set up it is just Hdc stitches throughout, with some decreasing and shaping! I had a very busy month when designing the Sunnyside Vest crochet pattern and my family was sick with the stomach bug for weeks. I hope you can forgive me for not having a full walkthrough but I am always available to help with pattern questions! Check out the video tutorial here!

Did I just find my new favorite cotton yarn? I think I did. Be prepared for so many designs using this yarn because I am obsessed! My first make using this yarn is called The Poppy Pullover!
I used Lion Brand 24/7 cotton DK for the Poppy Pullover crochet pattern. Don’t get it confused with the worsted weight version! The DK weight is obviously thinner and much more soft. It had no splitting and no tangles as I crocheted. I’m absolutely in love with it! I used the color Cacao for mine but they have a lot of pretty choices.
The Poppy Pullover is crocheted in separate panels from the bottom up. You’ll be using a larger hook in comparison to the yarn to give it more of a mesh look. It’s important to not pull your stitches tight. You want a relaxed and even tension so you can give it the perfect drape. Feel free to go up in hook size if you normally have a tight tension and/or your gauge is off. Once you have all your panels complete you will sew them together.
The Poppy Pullover is easy to make adjustments to. You can add or takeaway as many rows as you want on the back panel to adjust the length. Just be sure to make the same adjustments on the front panel as well, right before you split the neckline.

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!

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!

Didn’t I tell you guys that there would be a matching pullover to the beloved Stony Shore Cardigan?! Well here it is… The Stony Shore Pullover! Haha, I had to keep the name the same obviously since they are sister designs. If you enjoyed the Cardigan design then you will definitely love the pullover!
The Stony Shore Pullover crochet pattern is constructed very similar to the cardigan. It’s actually a bit quicker to do because you don’t have to worry about pockets and the trim is a lot smaller! This is an oversized pullover! You do NOT need to size up to get this slouchy look like mine! I am wearing a size small in the photos. Be sure to check the size chart below and pick yours size via your bust size. If you want a less slouch fit, size down.
I used Lionbrand Jeans for the pullover instead of Heartland like I did in the cardigan. However, either one works great for this! So if you prefer Heartland you can still swap it out. Although, I’m in love with Jeans yarn and highly recommend it!
Description: The Stony Shore Pullover is the sister design to the Stony Shore Cardigan! It has a cozy oversized fit with cute balloon style sleeves. The stitch gives a beautiful and fun texture. Beginner friendly and fun to make!
Surprise! I’ve been keeping this pattern a secret for a few months and i’m excited to finally release it into the world! The Clarissa Tee is a super easy and fun pattern. I have been wanting to make an off the shoulder style tee but still be able to be worn on both shoulders if desired!
The Clarissa Tee features a wide boat neck style neckline. I think it looks super cute paired with a lacy bralette underneath. It definitely gives me some retro vibes! I just need a side ponytail and some leggings to go with it now! haha! I tied it up with a little hair tie for some of the photos and just love the look of it!
This top has a mid length cut. If you are the type that likes longer style shirts then I definitely recommend adding some rows in before you start the neckline and shoulder shaping. I’m wearing the size small in photos and do not have any extra length added. Remember, you will need extra yarn if you add rows!
I have a full video tutorial for this top so be sure to check it out!

My sister recently asked for a ribbed crop top and this is what I came up with! Now this is more of a guide/how to instead of a specific stitch count pattern. You can basically use this as a guideline to make your own top! It’s really easy and as long as you continue to try it on as you go and check your size it should come out great! I used the new Sugarspun yarn by Loops & Threads. I know this yarn isn’t available everywhere yet but you can use any light weight yarn. Im sure worsted weight would work just as well! I plan on making another one using a soft cotton yarn for a more summertime feel! 🙂 Remember you can always leave a comment or send me a DM on Instagram if you need any help or have questions!
Be sure to follow and tag me on Instagram so I can see your Sarah Crop tops!
Materials:
- 3.00mm crochet hook
- 4.00mm crochet hook
- Light (3) Weight yarn in 2 colors. (less than one skein each.) I used Loops & Threads Sugarspun Yarn.
- Yarn needle
