ANOTHER STYLE OF BROOCH

by

I guess I’m stuck in rosette mode.  But I love them as they’re typically not difficult to make and work well for a variety of embellishments.  My mom is also fond of wearing a brooch, so I like to make one for each of her outfits.  You’ll enjoy making this one:

What doesn’t show very well in the picture is the zipper teeth.  If you use a zipper with metal teeth, you’ll get a bit more pop.  I do like the way Divvya has used a the scattered placement of pearls to add a nice touch.  I could make oodles of these.  Great way to use up odd scraps of yarn, especially those more expensive ones.  Nice tutorial on the blog.  And, check out the pretty crocheted ring she’s created here .  Enjoy!

Sunseeker Pullover – Crochet Pattern

If you’ve been searching for the perfect crochet top to take you from sunny afternoons to warm summer evenings, the Sunburst Tank from Knit Picks is a winner. This breezy tank is simple, stylish, and has just the right amount of detail to make it special.

The design features a clean, classic tank silhouette with a slightly relaxed fit, making it flattering on many body types. The crochet stitches add texture and visual interest, while the lightweight construction keeps it comfortable and breathable. It’s one of those pieces that looks just as good with denim cutoffs as it does tucked into a flowy skirt.

What makes this pattern shine is its versatility. Work it up in soft neutrals for a timeless wardrobe piece, or experiment with bright cottons and summer blends for a fun, beachy vibe. You can even layer it under cardigans or dusters when the weather cools down, giving it year-round appeal.

Skill level is adventurous beginner to intermediate. The pattern is approachable with repetitive stitch work, yet interesting enough to keep you engaged as you crochet.

If your summer wardrobe needs a handmade touch that’s wearable, chic, and endlessly customizable, the Sunburst Tank is a must-make.
