Dogwood Flower Top – FREE Crochet Pattern

When I think warm-weather crochet, lacy white projects are typically the first things that breeze through the mental open window in my “summer brain”. While they tend to take a little while to complete, these daintier patterns are worth it. As it happens though, the project and pattern I am bringing to you today does provide a little bit of a break from being too time-intensive.

The Dogwood Flower Top is inspired by one of my favorite local spring blooms-the Dogwood Tree! Just like these bright, classic trees add so much beauty to our landscape in spring, this lacy outer layer has been created to be a very pretty, feminine spring or summer top. It is also based on a pattern I previously wrote for the standalone flower design, so this could be a very portable project while you make the flowers individually. The only part that will require the space and concentration of a larger project will be putting the flowers together.

Cherry Blossom Scarf – FREE Crochet Pattern

The Cherry Blossom scarf is a light spring scarf. It’s a simple scarf crochet pattern design with airy stitches and puffs eyelet sections. It works up really fast as the main sections are made with treble crochet stitches.

Braided Nautical Cardigan – FREE Crochet Pattern

I am proud to introduce to you the Braided Nautical Cardigan!!

I am so excited to be featured by Joy Of Motion. So much in fact that I knew I had to step outside of my comfort zone for this! I wanted to make it completely my style but also wanted to up my game. For the 1st time EVER I designed a Raglan Style Garment!! I honestly cant believe I didn’t try it sooner.

Tidelands Wrap – FREE Crochet Pattern

Do you see those skeins of beautiful gradient yarns and just want to snap them up? The Tidelands Wrap is designed to showcase the gradual color changes in fingering weight gradient yarn. The wrap is versatile as well. You can wear it several different ways. Pair it with both casual and dressy looks. Because it is lightweight, you can wear it as an outer layer when it’s not too chilly. On colder days, double it up and tuck it under a jacket or coat for a stunning and warm neck layer.

Mana Halter Tank Top – FREE Crochet Pattern

With spring fast approaching my thoughts have been turning to warm breezes, the smell of the early blossoms and the sun on my skin… and the adorable summer tops and that come with it. It may still be cold outside (at least it is in my part of the world – Canada) but that doesn’t mean a girl can’t dream about easy, light and airy projects in delicate beautiful yarns!

This lightweight top was a lot of fun to dream up and create. It features a halter neck, a cute eyelet bodice on the front and has nice drape and stretch. It is made with a #1 Super Fine yarn and the majority of it is double crochet, making it a good project for beginners who like a challenge (with the eyelets in particular) or an intermediate crocheter.

Basketweave Pullover – FREE Crochet Pattern

Do you love making crochet sweaters but sometimes wish they looked more like knit sweaters? One drawback I saw to crocheting sweaters was that they sometimes ended up too bulky, boxy and heavy! But sweaters are my favorite things to create so I was not going to give up on them. And try as I may, I cannot master that darn purl stitch! Fast forward about 3 years and after lots of trial and error, shelves full of knit and crochet books, online classes and tutorials I learned that you can in fact crochet a beautiful fitted sweater that is figure flattering and looks fantastic!

Never crocheted a sweater? Learn some helpful tips with the how to crochet a sweater tutorial before you start crocheting this.

A few key components of a well fitting sweater are fitted sleeves and sleeve cap shaping and using a fingering or DK weight yarn rather than worsted or bulky. Don’t get me wrong, there is a time and place for worsted weight yarn and you can make a fantastic sweater with it! But if you want something more fitted, fingering weight is the way to go. My Basketweave Pullover was designed with all of these features in mind, resulting in a stunning handmade sweater that is comfortable, functional and looks beautiful!

All Hearts Cardi – Free Crochet Pattern

Introducing the All Hearts Cardi. I chose to name it as such because of the “heart” accent sections and the fact that I know you’ll love making and wearing it! This fun striped crochet pattern and relatively simple cardigan is made with the waistcoat stitch to give it a “knit” look! It is a classic fitted sweater, with a modern-feeling cropped length. The construction method, creating 5 rectangles of varying sizes and then seaming them together, makes this a perfect entry-level cardigan pattern! Another great benefit of this construction style is that it is easily customizable for your preferred fit – if you want it looser you can size up, or adjust the sizes of individual panels as you work through the pattern. It is super cozy and warm, and the fitted style makes it not feel overly bulky.

New Beginnings Cardigan – FREE Crochet Pattern

As Spring approaches I’m settling into a new year and the days are getting longer. With the newness of a new year and Spring right around the corner I’m usually bursting with new ideas and new inspirations. Spring time is a season of new beginnings. The New Beginnings Cardigan was one of my inspirations for the days getting longer and warmer.

Mermaid Scales Cowl and Headband Set – FREE Crochet Pattern

There have been so many beautiful, drapey cowl patterns published in the last few years. They are magnificent and the perfect light layer for a fall day, but when it is cold and blustery, I want something a little sturdier to keep my poor neck warm!

The Mermaid Scales Cowl was designed for that purpose – rather than pooling around your neck, this cowl stands up above your coat collar to block the wind. The best part? You still get a fun and engaging stitch pattern, with shell stitch mermaid scales peeking out from between zigzagging post stitches. And while you have the yarn lying around, why not make a matching headband? The headband is just a miniature version of the cowl, so once you master the pattern repeat, you can crank out a cute matching set in no time!

Kameron Slouch Hat – FREE Crochet Pattern

Kameron is a fun unisex slouch hat that is best made with a full bodied #4 Aran weight yarn that has nice drape to it. For the hat pictured I used Caron Pantone, which is categorized as a #5 bulky, however, I found this yarn to be very soft and flexible and worked up more like a Aran weight #4 yarn.

The hat is worked in joined rounds, meaning you will slip stitch at the end of each round and begin a new round by chaining a specified amount. Increases are worked in a nontraditional manner where you will use both the post and the top of the stitch, there I go thinking outside the box again!
