Crochet Take It Easy Sweater

I named this crochet sweater Take It Easy because of multiple aspects of this pullover. From the yarn, construction, and even wearing it all lended to the naming of the Take It Easy sweater. A pattern that all makes it easy for you to relax and enjoy all aspects of it.

For the yarn, I used Lion Brand 24/7 DK Cotton yarn. I have used the category 4 worsted weight yarn on a pair of Crochet Vacation Shoes for me and my daughters, and they wear so beautifully. A strong yarn that doesn’t pill, but is soft next to the skin. I have also used it in dish scrubbies and they have lasted a long time. So, I felt comfortable using this cotton yarn in a sweater that will hold up to wear, and make the time it takes making it worth it.

Mama’s Got a Brand New Bag Crochet Pattern

As you all know from the Journey Bag post, I love bags. While I was making the Journey Bag the concept for this bag came to mind. I kept thinking about it, and found myself lying in bed at night thinking about how it would go together. It was then I knew it had to be made so that I could get sleep without dreaming of bags.

So, now Mama’s Got a Brand New Bag. While the bag looks like it is complicated to make since it is triangular, it really is just a rectangle that is folded on itself and strategically sewn in just 2 places. While crocheting around the edges you connect the top two points to make the strap, and the bag is complete.

Welcome to the studio – I’m Cathy! I’m a mother that loves to design and make with yarn – from crochet, hand knitting and machine knitting, and even making the yarn by spinning! I hope that you are inspired in my studio!
