HandMade: The Come Together Crochet Stripes Sweater.





Hello there! I hope the week has treated you well thus far.I recently traded and donated a few bits of clothing and in the pile was an older striped sweater. I wanted to challenge myself in not purchasing a store bought sweater, but to crochet myself one of my own. 

Being a huge fan of layering, I opted for a short-sleeved crochet sweater so that I can layer it to my liking. It is a tiny bit over sized to accommodate for that personal choice. Alternating between white and black yarn to create this sweater, I create a scoop neck for the front and back of the top, so that the button ups would fit suitably.

 Project Details:
The yarn I used was Caron Simply Soft in Black and in White. 2 Skeins each.
The hook I used was a K/101/2-6.50MM

HandMade: The Lost At Sea Crochet Dress.


 This crochet dress was kind of a breeze to make and I am quite elated on how it came out! With much practice I'm getting these designs down! My main objective was to create focus on the neckline, little details go a long way. The dress was made in mind for layering, that is entirely what Autumn is all about to me and to the designs I have drawn up. The dress is super comfortable and very light actually, so with a blouse underneath or even leggings, I am good to go!

I am quite excited to share this pattern, it's fairly easy and hopefully, (I'm a bit behind oops) and maybe even a post on how to create your own crochet dress. Which could be quite interesting to share!

Project Details:
The yarn I used was Red Heart Yarn (Turquoise)
The hook I used was a H8-5.00MM
The Lost At Sea Crochet Dress pattern is entirely experimental, made from my own pattern! Planning to place the pattern for purchase on my Pattern Shoppe!


Happy Crafting!
