Crochet Giveaway Winner – 100 Colorful Ripple Stitches To Crochet

My readers haven’t been very helpful lately! No one – not one person – emailed me asking me who the winner of the July Giveaway for 100 colorful ripple stitches was!! It completely slipped my mind. So, I guess you want to know, right?

It’s Kelley with this entry (chosen at random):

My neighbor boys (elementary and middle school) love and wear all the time the simple double crochet bracelets that I made for them. They actually requested them. I don’t have a pattern, just chain a circle, then double crochet in the chains. Fast and easy.

So, Kelley, please email me ([email protected]) with your snailmail info so I can get the book to you. Thanks to all who entered. I got some great ideas of items that boys will enjoy crocheting. And, my August Giveaway winner will be announced soon, so stay tuned for another new Giveaway in a week or two.

Some crochet garments look beautiful on the hanger but feel awkward to wear. This Lacy Crochet Tee from Lana Grossa is not one of those pieces. It’s light, breathable, and very much designed to be worn — the kind of handmade top that slips easily into your everyday wardrobe without feeling “too precious.”

What immediately stands out is the openness of the stitch pattern. It has that airy, lacy feel that works so well for warmer weather or for layering over a tank or dress. This isn’t a heavy, structured garment; it’s soft and fluid, with just enough texture to make it interesting while still letting the yarn shine.

From a making point of view, this tee is a really enjoyable project if you like crochet that feels calm and rhythmic. The lace pattern keeps your hands engaged without constant counting or frustration, which makes it perfect for evening crochet or quiet weekend sessions. It’s also very satisfying watching the fabric grow — those lacy stitches really show progress quickly.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate crochet. You don’t need advanced shaping skills, but being comfortable with stitch patterns and keeping even tension will make the process much more enjoyable. If you’ve been wanting to dip your toe into wearable crochet without tackling a full sweater, this is a great place to start.

What I really appreciate about this pattern is how versatile it is. Change the colour and fibre and it can feel casual and beachy or clean and modern. It’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for again and again, especially when you want something handmade that still feels light and effortless.

If you enjoy crochet garments that are wearable, practical, and quietly stylish, this lacy tee is a lovely pattern to have in your collection.
