Patterns, projects and techniques
I had just been admiring a knitted and felted bag that looks very much like this little crocheted number! When I saw this, I just had to share it. The knitted and felted version uses wool yarn for the body of the purse then one of those pretty flounce yarns added to create the ruffles. In the one featured here. Sheenaz has created almost the same bag in crochet. I like the look so much! Sheenaz offers a free pattern for this project too. Doesn’t get much better than that!
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.

That is really cute, but not for me. I would like to see the knitted version of this bag and try to make it for a friend.
Marilyn,
Contact Georgia through her shop website http://hearthstoneknitsonline.com/ and ask her for details on the knitted bag. I believe she has published it in a knitting magazine.
