Seaside Bloom Cardi, one of the patterns in I Love Crochet magazine, June 2025 issue.
A few words about the construction of this cardigan:
First, you'll make several motifs for fronts and back. Then motifs are joined using continuous method. The pattern includes a description on how to do it and has also a diagram to understand the position of motifs and directions of joining.
After all motifs are connected, panels in Mesh stitch pattern are added on the sides of the fronts and back.
At the end, you'll make sleeves and finish with one continuous border through fronts, neckline and bottom of the whole cardigan.

Let me know if you have any questions about this design.
#SeasideBloomCardi is available on @ilikecrochet website.

Super excited to share, my design #SeasideBloomCardi is published in I Like Crochet magazine, June 2025 issue 🎉🎉🎉
The Seaside Bloom Cardi is a light, beachy layering piece with a relaxed boho feel and a touch of nautical style. It features airy openwork stitches that mix floral motifs with sections that look like netting. This cardigan is breezy and semi-sheer—great for warm days or layering at the coast. Soft white tones in the body contrast beautifully with deep blue sleeves and borders, reflecting the colors of the ocean. Whether you’re walking along the beach or enjoying your own seafarer’s garden, this cardigan adds an easygoing, coastal vibe to any outfit.

Check @ilikecrochet website for the pattern and full June issue, link in bio and stories.

Beautiful pictures made by the I Like Crochet team.

Hi there! 😉 It's been awhile since my last post here.
Life is kinda busy lately and crafting wasn't exactly on my mind.
If you see this post, give it ♥️ or say hi, so I can see that this account still can reach people 😉.

Used different yarns and patterns, a couple are #knitbutterfly and a couple of #crochetbutterfly
Can't wait to see what other ppl made and how it will look all together on the wall.

Some close up pictures of the wave stitch pattern in Rolling Waves Skirt.
I was lucky enough to work Rolling Waves and watch rolling waves (see 2nd pic) 🌊😊
To work this pattern you need to know how to do crochet sts like ch, sc, hdc, dc, sl st, plus I used alternativr dc (alt dc) instead of normal turning chains.
You can find a video tutorial on my YouTube channel for alt dc, and also I included in the pattern videos on how to carry yarn for the stripes and work short rows with hdc.
Adding all extra helpful links as much as possible, so you can work on your project as relaxed as possible 😊

Learning something new never gets old 😊
Looks like Tunisian crochet is everywhere nowadays, so I decided to jump on this wagon too and learn a few stitches to see what the fuss is all about 😄
Going through stitches from a book I have, and don't like the description there, so probably need to find a better collection of Tunisian stitches.
If you like Tunisian and have a good dictionary or website with good stitch collections, please share 👇

Welcome new knitting pattern Lightning Strike Shawl.
This is a 'sibling' pattern to my crochet shawl Bolt. Same idea and design, only in different craft.
Lightning Strike Shawl is an asymmetrical triangular shawl, that works from a tip with constant increases on one side. Regularly alternating sections of a lace stitch pattern and horizontal ribbing are finished with several bind-off stitches to create a zig-zagging edge.
The shawl has several loops on the widest side. These loops work as a fastening, push the narrow end through the loops and you don’t need to tie the shawl or use the shawl pin to hold the shawl in place.
The pattern is available on Ravelry and Payhip, links in bio.

One more of my designs that I can release as a single pattern.
Lacy and Short Skirt originally was published in Crochet Foundry magazine, now available as a single pattern on Ravelry or Payhip store.
This is a fun and airy crochet skirt made with cotton/bamboo blend yarn.
Works waist down in 3 different stitch patterns, the length is customizable.
The pattern comes in 10 sizes.
The pattern is fully written and includes charts, I also added video tutorials on how to read charts (flat and in-the-round).
Hope, you'll enjoy making this project as much as I enjoyed designing it.

It's time to publish patterns from inTANDEM issue 4 as individual patterns.
Ocean Crest Shawl is now available on Ravelry or Payhip as a single pattern.
If you're not a big fan of collections like magazines, now you can purchase just one pattern. At the same time you'll have a chance to see how inTANDEM looks inside, I didn't change the formatting and layout, so the #OceanCrestShawl pattern looks like in the zine.
The pattern includes a regular PDF file and an easy-read file.

Pictures of WIP of #CutleryPouch_NY and a few options on how to work in the round if you knit a small circumference
🧶 double point needles (4 or 5)
🧶 magic loop with long circular needles
🧶 two circular needles

My go-to way is 5 DPNs /\/\/ 💙
What do you prefer? Something shown here, or very short circulars, or flexy DPNs?

Talked last time during Monthly Live chat that I learned a new way to work Slip-slip-knit (SSK) stitch, and had plenty of practice with my orange tee, so here's the quick tutorial how to do SSK without actual slip&slip
Do you work SSK in 'non traditional' way? If yes, how do you prefer to do it?

In the video I worked yarn overs between SSK, because pattern called for it, ignore them, they are not part of actual SSK stitch 😊

A little bit about the yarn for my latest design #LacyAndShortSkirt
For this design, I needed:

🧶 something light, but not too thin;

🧶 because it is for warm summery days, a cotton or a cotton blend would be a great choice;

🧶 needed something soft, so the fabric would be flowy;

🧶 it would be nice to have a great selection of solid/tonal colors.

The yarn Bamboo Pop by @universal_yarn covered all the checkmarks.
#universalyarnbamboopop is a 50/50 cotton and bamboo blend DK weight yarn. It is light and breezy, great for projects in the warm weather. The yarn has a good twist, is very soft, and with a little bit of shine from the bamboo. It produces crochet and knit fabric that drapes easily. Absolutely great to work with, perfectly slides on the hook without any splits. Thanks, Universal Yarn for providing the yarn support for this design.
Pictures of color 140 Crocodile 💚💙

The Lacy and Short Skirt is published in the July issue of @crochetfoundrymagazine

More details about #LacyAndShortSkirt
The Lacy and Short Skirt works from the waistband down and widens as the project progresses.

The skirt is made in 3 sections (or tiers) plus a border at the bottom. The transition between tiers brings you to an increased number of stitches, but because this change is where the new stitch pattern starts, you won’t realize that you’re actually increasing.

This was the fun part of this design for me, how to choose stitch patterns, so they do all the work and I have less trouble with grading to all the sizes. 😊
The pattern is published in @crochetfoundrymagazine
July 2024 issue, affiliate link is bio, right now it is available as Summer bundle, individual July issue will be available in August

My first skirt design. It was super fun to dive into this summery project.
The Lacy and Short Skirt is designed to dance with the ocean’s rhythm and flirt with the sunlight. Made with airy and breathable cotton/bamboo blend it is perfect for your sunny days by the water. The short length allowed for easy movement, whether you’re strolling along the shoreline or dipping your toes into the water. And the lacy stitch patterns will remind you of seashells on the sandy shore long after your vacation.
The skirt works from the waistband down and widens as the project progresses. Even though this design is a short skirt, you can easily adjust it to your taste, and the pattern includes instructions on how to do it.
The pattern is fully written and includes charts, the video tutorials on how to read charts are also included.
