Patterns, projects and techniques
Pinka’s got a contest on her blog to win a crocheted bracelet like the one shown above. While I certainly wouldn’t mind winning one of her bracelets, I’m more interested in the technique. I’ve just gotten a book about crocheting with beads that I’ll be reviewing soon. Combines two of my loves – beads and crochet. What could be bad about that???
I had such a wonderful experience making the Varlyn Sweater as Christmas gifts last December! The pattern features a relaxed fit and a lovely, textured design that really shines when crocheted up. I made two sweaters, one in a soft cream color and another in a rich burgundy, which both turned out beautifully.
The instructions were straightforward, and the stitch combinations were enjoyable to work with. I appreciated how the pattern allowed for a bit of customization, making it easy to add personal touches. It’s a cozy piece that everyone loved receiving!
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, handmade gift that’s both stylish and comfortable, I highly recommend the Varlyn Sweater pattern. It’s perfect for those chilly winter days! Check it out here.
