CROCHET PARTNERS

by

If you want to know more about crochet on the internet, want to learn a new stitch, want to learn a new technique, want to find great crochet blogs, websites, and patterns, then run on over to www.groups.yahoo.com and join the group called ‘crochetpartners’.

There are now more than 4,000 crocheters on this list and it’s full of great information, encouragement and motivation.  I love that I can share with and learn from crocheters from every continent on the planet on this list.  Well, okay, maybe not Antartica!  But 6 out of 7 is pretty good!

I have made some good crochet friends in cyberspace and met some people face to face who have become good friends of mine.  Ronnie T. and DJ are two women I’ve known for about 10 years.  I met DJ via Crochetpartners and met Ronnie shortly thereafter.  I was able to get the St. Louis Crochet Club started thanks to the internet and CP.

So, go join and participate.  They have lots of offer – and so do  YOU!  Join in the conversation about crochet.  Let us know what you’re working on, what your WIM’s are, and what your favorite patterns and websites are.  Everyone has plenty to offer.

  1. would love to learn as much as I can.If any one can spare a patern.I have begun teaching my foster daughter to crochet too.I would love just about anything.Thanks

  2. I got the Cottage Rose Square Afghan pattern to do. I have been crocheting since i was 10 ( am 69 now ) and i have never seen # sign after a number. What does it stand for or its meaning?

  3. Wilma on CP offered this insight:

    I just looked at the pattern and the # sign behind the 4 is a reference sign. If you look at the end of the line you will see another # The first is the beginning, the second just tells you torepeat until you reach the first #.

  4. And… Ended up here too! 6000+ members now! I joined about this time using an Old Clamshell cellphone with a browser and had to use the numbered keys to communicate. It was (IS…I still have it) a Motorola RAZR.

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.
