Aren’t these sooooo pretty?

They’re featured on a little blog you might find interesting – and useful.  If you want to learn a new stitch, try visiting this blog and following the tutorials there – many with color photos and patterns too!  To me, this is very inspirational.  Makes me want to pick up a hook and yarn to create whatever the featured item is.  I find it especially helpful to have a photo, good schematics, and an easy pattern so I can work on the stitch RIGHT NOW!  What do you think?

There are several hat patterns at this site.  Here’s one that looks especially easy and warm:

Here’s a direct link to the hat:

  2. These flowers are beautiful, but I’m searching for a pattern for fingerless mittens with pullover tops. I don’t know if they have a proper name, but could someone help?

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.
