The Coastal Belle Crop Crochet Pattern

I love when a new yarn is released! I was so excited to try the Lazy Days yarn when I first saw it. I was able to feel it in store and noticed how squishy it was! Something about the name being lazy days and the color Bluebell screamed summer to me so I knew I had to make a summer design. I also wanted you to be able to wear it year round with layering and that’s how The Coastal Belle Crop crochet pattern was born!

Because the yarn is so squishy with amazing bounce I wanted to use an open lace style stitch for my design. I ended up using V-sts but decided to use Tr sts in them instead of the typical single or double crochet. Every other row I popped a picot St in the V Sts instead of a Ch 1. I think it adds such a cute little extra detail!

The Coastal Belle Crop crochet pattern is worked from side to side. If you want to have a longer top be sure to check my notes and adjust your starting row. If you want your top wider or more fitting you can add less rows to the main panels! The sleeves are worked top down so they are easy to adjust as well. If you need them longer or shorter just add or remove rows in multiples of 2. This is a drop shoulder style top so the bigger the size you are making the shorter the sleeves will be because the seam hits lower on the bicep.

Crochet Hook Size Chart Freebie

When I first started to learn how to crochet, I was constantly looking up hook sizes! I wasn’t sure what letter or number went with what mm size (i’ll admit, I still sometimes have to check haha) and it got so confusing! I made a quick reference freebie guide for you all!

The Wisteria Sweater Crochet Pattern

I’m so excited to finally release The Wisteria Sweater! I finished this one several weeks ago and am so happy to get it out in the world! You can find the full written pattern below, along with links to the Lion Brand kit, video tutorial and printable PDF!

The front and back panels of The Wisteria Sweater are worked from the bottom up. Then, you will seam the sides and shoulders before attaching and working the sleeves top down. For a longer top, add more rows in multiples of 4 before you begin the underarm shaping. For longer or shorter sleeves, just add or remove more rounds before beginning the cuff! The great part about the sleeves being worked top down is you can try it on and adjust the sleeves before fastening off!

I used Lion Brand Re-spun yarn in the bonus bundle, color “blush”. You can find The Wisteria Sweater as a kit on the Lion Brand website, which comes with all the yarn needed to make your sweater plus a free copy of the ad-free printable PDF! You can also customize your yarn color.

The Poppy Cardigan Crochet Pattern

I couldn’t make a Poppy Pullover without making a Poppy Cardigan crochet pattern! The Poppy Pullover was a fan favorite and the Poppy Cardigan has the same design details so I hope you like this one too!

I used the same type of yarn for The Poppy Cardigan- 24/7 Cotton DK, except this time, I used the “prints” version instead of a solid color! I think the prints are so pretty and give it a little bit more pop of color and detail. I wasn’t sure how the yarn was going to work up with the distribution of color but I am loving the result! If you are more of a solid color kind of crocheter you can totally substitute out the yarn, they have lots of options! I used the Seaglass color for mine.

The Poppy Cardigan is worked up the same way as the pullover, from the bottom up. Again, we are using a larger hook than what you normally would use for a DK yarn to give it that loose, mesh look. When you are crocheting, make sure you don’t tug down too tightly on your stitches! If you are prone to a tight tension just make sure to pay attention to that. This is also a really stretchy stitch so when you wear the cardigan it will stretch and has great drape! Once all your panels are made you will give a light block ( I like to steam block mine) and sew together!

If you want to use the same yarn as me make sure you get the Lion Brand kit! It comes with a free copy of my printable pattern and you can choose your yarn color! They also frequently have very good sales! My Poppy Pullover is available on my blog here as well as a Lion Brand kit! 

The Carl Cardigan Crochet Pattern

I love the look of oversized V-neck button up cardigans. There’s just something about them that I find so appealing! They give me such comforting “grandpa” vibes haha. I knew I had to make one but put my own trendy spin on it. The Carl Cardigan is my cropped and a bit more girly version of this!

The Carl Cardigan is worked in separate panels from the bottom up. When you break it down into each piece tackling this sweater is a breeze. I used the same stitch throughout and have very beginner friendly shaping. I used Feels Like Butta which is one of my favorite soft yarns. It’s very smooth to work with and frogs back easily if you make a mistake!

I know some of us prefer to have our cardigans longer instead of cropped. Good news, it is super easy to make this longer! Just add as many rows as you would like to the back panel (in multiples of 2). Then, when you make the front panels, add the same amount of rows before you start decreasing! Remember, you will need extra yarn!

You might recognize the ribbing technique around this cardigan. I did the cuffs from The Pemberly Pullover the same way! You will be working the trim of the cardigan directly off the sides of the front panel. It might look a little intimidating at first, but when it comes down to it, you are just slip stitching to the panels as you go! If you are new to this technique be sure to check out my video tutorial where I show you exactly how to do it.

Twist Of Summer Tank

I’m back again with another summer design! This time I made a square neck style tank top with Coboo yarn called The Twist Of Summer Tank! This design is definitely beginner friendly and a very easy make. I used the Lemon Peel stitch to work up the main body of this top. I love the beautiful texture this stitch creates, it’s one of my all time favorites! You might recognize it from my Harvest Pullover!

The Twist Of Summer Tank is worked up in 2 panels from the bottom up. You will create the ribbing first and then rotate to work the main body. Each panel is exactly the same. Next we will sew the panels together, add a quick trim and then crochet the straps!

It’s also super customizable. You can easily add some rows to make it a longer length top or remove rows for a more cropped look! Just adjust the length before tying off your panels.

New to crochet? Well no worries at all because I have a full video tutorial available! I’ll walk you through from start to finish on your own Twist Of Summer Tank!
