Sweet Dreams Crochet Spa Set Pattern

With a teenager and a preteen daughter in the house I am quickly seeing how much face care routines have changed since I was their age. I think my sister and I had Clearasil or Noxema in the early 90s, and we maybe used a tinted moisturizer since my mom said we weren’t old enough for makeup. Now, there is a little more knowledge on face care for their age.

With them taking a little more interest in not getting any more pimples and black heads, I am seeing how many more cotton face pads we are going through. It dawned on me that I could make little crochet ones that we can wash, and not have to throw away so much.

Knit Simple Stitch Sweater Pattern

I used Lion Brand Coboo yarn on my crochet Daydream Believer Top, and the yarn may now just be one of my favorites.

The softness and drape, both knit and crochet, are just so wonderful. It really makes a great fabric to wear next to the skin.

Machine Knit Simple Stitch Sweater Pattern

After using Lion Brand Coboo Yarn for my Crochet Daydream Believer Top, I knew I wanted to make something knit out of it. The crocheted top has such drape, and it is so soft next to the skin I was excited to see what it would be knitted.

I did a swatch using several different gauges on my knitting machine to see what each looked and felt like. While the smaller gauge had beautiful stitch definition, the larger gauge had such great drape and softness I knew I wanted something with that. I also liked the reverse side of the stockinette since I could see the full knit structure for great depth and texture on the fabric surface.

Crochet Daydream Believer Top

I have seen Lion Brand Coboo yarn at stores for a while, but never had a project in mind for what to make with it. With summer approaching it finally dawned on me to use it for a summer top. As a crocheter and knitter, I have plenty of sweaters and cardigans that I have made. However when it comes to the warmer months my wardrobe has way fewer hand made items.

While last year I did make my Crochet Bucket Hat and have been making a couple knit tops over the years, crochet was very much lacking in my options. I decided to make a crochet summer top, and Coboo was the perfect summer fiber blend to try.
