TORSIBILITY: Coat Crochet Pattern
*** You know how it is naming a crochet pattern – on one hand you want your project to have a unique name, on the other it should reflect the idea behind the look and stitches. And so far I was able to find such great names for Ozone sweater, Freelancer sweater, Detour sweater and […]

*** There’s truly nothing we love more in winter than a stylish turtleneck sweater dress – your absolutely necessary piece (aka SINE QUA NON), that makes you feel confident and comfortable in winter.

DIAGONAL BLOSSOMS: Crochet Pattern
* * * Before publishing this new knit sweater-dress pattern www.instagram.com/p/CH8H-x9BWSg I thought of including several easier crochet patterns that I usually make with yarn left-overs and give as gifts or donate to charity auctions in our local school.

How to minimize pilling in your handmade sweaters?

CLASSIC UNISEX Scarf Pattern
*** As we all are getting ready for colder seasons I created another Huge Unisex Scarf! ? This parallelogram shaped piece was my TV project that allowed my hands to switch between crocheting and knitting. My hands are never hurt since I design items that don’t require tight stitching like bags, hats or amigurumis, but […]
TRAPEZOID: Corner to Corner Crochet Top Pattern

Besides, they look more dynamic and classy, even if the simplest crochet stitches are used. More details about your new crochet top: This […]
