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.

Machine Knit Wingspan Shawl Pattern

Recently I made the crochet Beyond the Sea Shawl and realized it had been a while since I did a knit shawl. Now, since the Estrela Lace machine knit shawl pattern is rectangle, I wanted to make one that was either triangular or crescent in shape.

Being machine knit, and working on an LK150 with a limited amount of needles posed a major constraint. To get the angles I wanted for the shape of the shawl using only 150 needles available on the mid gauge, the gauge would need to be so open that the stitches wouldn’t look right. Another hurdle was getting the rate of decrease to be easy to remember and work with, and not something that was really random and hard to remember as you were making the shawl.

Knit Put Your Records On Cardigan Pattern

I had the idea for this pattern for a while, but it took a bit for me to work out all the details in my head. Working out mentally how each panel would be constructed took some time, and then even more time to work out the little details in real life.

Machine Knit Put Your Records On Pattern

A while ago I made a sweater for my dad out of this 100% worsted wool yarn. I loved the color, and living in Michigan I have come to love wool more and more each year. I had purchased plenty of skeins, and just so happened to have a sweaters quantity left over for me to make something for myself!

Most of my wool items have been sweaters, so I wanted to make cardigan that could help get me more through the transitional seasons since the wool cardigans I have are bulkier and warmer.

Machine Knit Wrap Sweater Scarf Pattern

At the end of 2024 I shared my Crochet Wrap Sweater Scarf, and I had to bribe our 12 year old that I would make her one so that I could wear it. She loves it so much that every time I wear it she gives me a jealous look.

I decided to make her’s a knit version, and used tuck stitches to create the texture in the scarf portion that wraps around the body.

Knit Main Street Top

Main Street Knit Summer Top by City Farmhouse Studio

For the past year I have been trying to grow my handmade summer wardrobe. After realizing that I had nothing handmade to wear in the summer, I knew I had to come up with some tops that I can wear through my day, and even possibly dress up for certain occasions. If you know me, I like multifunctional!

During a trip to Joanns where our creative and crafty 12 year old daughter looked at all the things she was dreaming about, I strolled the yarn section. I tend to go through craft stores to look at yarn, see what is new, see what is discontinued, and just see what I can see. On an end display was a new Patons yarn I hadn’t seen before, Linen.

Knit Winter in the City Sweater

Two years ago I made the Summer in the City top, and last year I wore it quite a bit along with the Summer Breeze top. I think I wore the summer breeze more, but over this winter I ended up missing not being able to wear the Summer in the City top. Just the little edge detail that is so easy to dress up or down I missed. It then came to me that I should make a long sleeve version so that I can wear it all year long.

While the Summer in the City top uses Bernat Softee Baby Cotton yarn, for this winter version I wanted something with wool. I found the Premier Wool Select yarn to be a great option. Also, both Summer and Winter in the City have the same gauge, so either yarn is a great option.

Spring Flower Scrubby

One thing I love about crochet, how easy it is to add a fun and joyous spin to one of my most dreaded chores – dishes.

Several years ago I started making my own dish scrubbies, and I haven’t turned back. I love how fun they are to make, how easy they are to make, and how much personality they bring to my kitchen. They also make wonderful gifts. I always see one of my scrubbies at my Dad’s kitchen sink, so he finds them just as wonderful at cleaning dishes as I do.

With this pattern you can choose how much scrubby texture you prefer to crochet with, or none at all. The scrubby yarn does make it more difficult to see your stitches, but the effort is so very much worth the effort – at least in my opinion.
