...for a crochet garment for myself!
Recently I've been thinking that I would really love to crochet something to wear. Not a scarf or wrist warmers or anything like that, but a cardigan or top.
The thing is...it has to be a simple pattern with minimal sewing up if possible as I tend to find that my sewing up of an item lets me down. I also have around 300g of the pretty pink 4ply yarn you can see in the photo above so it would be great if I could use this up, but that's not absolutely essential.
Has anyone ever made such a garment?! Does such a pattern exist?! If it is does I would be really grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thank you!

Hmmm...I don't have specific patterns in mind but are on Ravelry? You could make a loosely-crocheted tunic to wear over leggings or tights...a long vest....a shrug?
ReplyDeleteI do have a Ravelry log in but haven't been on there in more than a year. I will have a look there though, thank you.

ReplyDeleteOh thank you! I didn't think of trying there and they have so many patterns. Thanks again.

Alia from the Little Bee is currently crocheting a lovely crochet top in almost the same color! Perhaps that pattern will work for you too?

I just finished reading CocoRose and she has made an easy sweater that is lovely! She has used Drops yarn in a lovely shade. In case you don't know the blog, here's the link:cocorosetextiles.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHappy planning!
Oh thank you! I've had a look and I adore the sweater cocorose has made, it's beautiful. It may be the one I think...thank you.

If I was the right shape for it (must start that diet soon ... :-/ ) I'd do a top down cardigan, there was one by greendragonfly (I think) that I always stumble upon on Pinterest

There's a simple crochet top in one of the Mollie Makes issues. It looked and sounded easy as even I thought of giving it a go. I'll have a look round later and will give you more details once I've found it. X
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really interesting Marion, thank you. I like that you say it looks easy! That's what I'm looking for. Thank you.

Hi Marianne, I have just finished the custard shrug (search on ravelry) it is a free pattern based on your measurements not a size guide. Mine has turned out great and used two 100g balls of patons 4 ply cotton. Check it out. Jo x
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Jo. I haven't been on Ravelry for ages so I must go and have a look. Thanks for your recommendation.

Did you see the beautiful jumper that Vanessa just posted at Coco Rose Diaries? It is gorgeous and would be a great make! xx
ReplyDeleteI did see it Amy and I agree it's so gorgeous! It might be the one I think thank you.
