Sahara - New!

Crochet Pattern

Think pinpoint fit, arabesque details and easy knitting. Sahara is just as elegant to make as it is to wear: worked from the top down in one piece so that you can try it on as you go: it requires no seaming to create the fitted set-in sleeves, precision-tailored waist line or the gently curved, bottom-and-tummy-conforming hem. Style and fit tips appear throughout the pattern, guiding you to a custom fit. And then there's 3 different sleeve options on offer – from sleeveless to short-sleeve to dramatic long-sleeves so that you can create the perfect garment for your lifestyle, climate and mood.

To complement an impeccable fit, we feature a diamond texture border for the embellished neckline, cuffs and hem. Work up Sahara in any drapey worsted weight yarn, or use our rich featured silks with beaded and sequined accent yarns to create a sleek tunic with sumptuously-encrusted details.

Lotus Smock Dress & Camisole - New!

The Lotus Smock is a super fast and easy project using crochet hairpin lace. If the beauty of Lotus doesn't entice you to try hairpin lace, perhaps the speed of this project will.

This try-on-as-you-go project can be completed in a weekend for the camisole-length or in a week for the knee-grazing dress. Lotus is created by joining hairpin lace strips of different lengths into a classic feather and fan pattern. The strips vary in length to hug the curves of the female form; each join is subtly different although the overall pattern of the dress remains the same.

Key to this design is the forgiving fit: not only is hairpin fabric stretchy, but also the texture of the join pattern helps Lotus obscure any bulges that you might like kept under wraps.

This jacket requires minimal seaming - sleeves, collar and plackets are picked up and knit instead of being seamed on later. Finish off by finding a unique brooch to accent the neck closure and you will make this sophisticated little jacket your own.

This pattern is more than a typical pattern which calls out yarn specifics and rowcounts. Instead, Stitch Diva features a comprehensive recipe that will teach you to combine yarns of any gauge into a blanket using any hook size. The fully illustrated instructions take you step-by-step through the required techniques, so that you can easily combine YOUR personal yarns into a beautiful family keepsake in no time at all.

Outerwear Corset Crochet Pattern

The corset has been used for centuries as an undergarment. The historic practice of accentuating the feminine waist has made a comeback- this time as outerwear. Similar to the corsets appearing on runways this season, this corset is meant to be worn much like a belt, over a tailored stretch shirt or a skimpy tank top.

Not only does it define the waist, it gently flattens the tummy, providing the flat abs one may not have the time or discipline to acquire at the gym. This corset is crocheted over boning by using a mix of standard and Tunisian crochet techniques. The rows of Tunisian Crochet serve to provide firm structure, while the rows of standard crochet not only provide textural counterpoint, but provide openness and ventilation to the design as well.
