The Crochet Punk I’m writing about is Steampunk. Are you familiar with it? It’s a pretty cool fashion and craft phenomenon. I have been attracted to the ‘look’ for some time but had not seen crochet patterns that reflected this trend. Not so now. This pretty design is easily accomplished with this free pattern. You can find some more ‘gears’ from the same designer here.
Steampunk inspiration is very Victorian. Some people really delve into the period and come up with some great, updated looks that fit right into our modern fashion stylings. How about these lovely ruffled spats? I think they would dress up any old pair of boots and instantly update your look.
Steam punk crochet is a unique and creative way to bring the steampunk aesthetic to life. With its unique combination of anachronistic designs and modern fabrications, steam punk crochet patterns are the perfect way to express your unique style.
Steam punk is a subgenre of science fiction that originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It incorporates elements from various genres, such as Gothic literature, horror fiction, and fantasy. It typically features anachronistic technologies or futuristic innovations as the backdrop for its stories. Steam punk often combines traditional styles of dress with futuristic elements, such as clockwork contraptions, ray guns, and airships.
When it comes to steam punk crochet, the possibilities are endless. From vintage-inspired hats to futuristic-looking sweaters and scarves, steam punk crochet patterns provide a unique way to express your style and imagination. With a variety of colors and textures to choose from, you can create pieces that are truly one-of-a-kind.
If you’re looking to add a touch of steampunk to your wardrobe, there are plenty of resources available to get you started. There are numerous patterns available online, as well as tutorials and helpful tips to help you along the way. With a bit of practice, you’ll soon be producing beautiful and unique pieces of steam punk crochet.
Steam punk crochet is a great way to express your creativity and show off your unique style. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned crocheter, you’ll be sure to find a project to suit your needs. So why not give it a try and see what you can create? With a bit of creativity and imagination, you’ll soon be crafting beautiful and unique pieces of steam punk crochet that will be sure to turn heads.
To match the ruffled spats, you might want to make one of these delicious ruffled cowls to complete your look. Isn’t it luxurious looking? The proper button choice will set off those ruffles and finish this cowl beautifully. You can order the pattern here.
Many people find the distance from Goth to Steampunk to be very short. There is plenty of inspiration around the internet if you dig around a bit. Check out sites for Punk, Goth, Steampunk, and Victorian to find all that is available to you. Rather than let the look take over, I find it perfect to use one carefully placed Steampunk element. A pair of Goth fingerless mitts or a pretty necklace may be the perfect touch for you. Let us know!

I LOVE steampunk!! Never been quite sure “what” it is, but I love it when I see it! I designed one crochet & crystal bracelet pattern that I think might qualify as steampunk. Great article and ideas!
Susan Parker says
I’ve been a huge fan of steampunk for years.
I’ve seen a few crocheted steampunk items but I hadn’t considered crocheting gears.
I love gears and I’m definitely going to crochet one or two but I’ll use wire! I think a crocheted wire gear would look so cool on a journal, as a pin or decoration on a tote bag.
Thanks for the inspiration!

I think it’s hard to define it, and a bit easier to recognize it! Latest issue of Crochet! mag has a section devoted to it I think, or is it Crochet Today? I may have to check that. clocks, gears, are involved as you say…..
Kerry Williamson says
I’m making a whole lot of these gears with the intention of making them in lots of colours and then sewing them onto an Afghan

I’m interested in the cowl pattern. It appears the kink is broken. Do you still sell it?
