PRETTY ROSE PILLOW

by

Have you been in a Pier One Store lately?  I haven’t been in one in years despite the fact that I always see interesting things there.  And, like Tristan whose tutorial I’m featuring in this article, I often come away with ideas of things I want to create on my own.  In this case, Tristan saw a pillow they call a rose but which reminds me greatly of an artichoke or a blooming onion, and she decided to recreate it on her own.  In so doing, she created this fab tutorial so that each of us can work up a pillow with a lot less difficulty than if we had to figure it out on our own.

I actually like Tristan’s version of the pillow better than the original.  What do you think?

  2. Adorable! I had to look up the original to compare, and it’s true: Tristan’s is cuter. The other option would be to take her pattern and alter it for felting. Love it!

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.
