1970s Vintage style crochet waist-coat

Hey all!

It’s festival season and my latest creation is a 1970s-inspired waist-coat. This style is very much in at the moment – and you can use whatever colours you like! 

The waist-coat has been made using cotton sport-weight yarn and a 4mm hook. In all, the item is made using 24 unique individually-made granny squares, each using 8 different colours.  

Hope you get inspired by this! Enjoy!

Beach / Sun Hat Pattern

With summer now in full swing, I decided to designed a sun / beach hat. This hat is made using cotton yarn, and pattern incorporates holes, to keep it light and allow for good air circulation.

I originally made this in one colour, and the pattern has been written accordingly – however, you can choose to use more than 1 colour. Yarn used is sport weight cotton yarn – I used again is Katia Menfis . You will need just a bit over 1 100g ball, so I recommend you get 2.

The pattern is available in my Ravelry store.

The hat will fit an adult. It is made in one piece, but has 3 distinct sections:

  • the top part, measuring approximately around 6.5 inches,
  • a middle section measuring 3 inches in height and
  • the rim, which is 2.75inches.

Versatile Seaside wrap

Hey all!

I came across this really beautiful boho-inspired wrap – and here is my version. I used different yarn and hook size – which explains the difference in size from the one you see in the pattern – but I love it!

As you can see, it can be worn 2-ways:

1 – over shoulders,

2 – As a skirt-wrap – perfect for the beach.

Here is the original pattern if you want to try it out: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/seaside-wrap

Crochet Summer Beach Dress

20200319_144218

Summer is round the corner – so here is my first creation for summer – a stylish multi-coloured beach dress. It’s made using the Jaipu Cake cotton yarn from Katia.

The published pattern can be found here : https://www.katia.com/EN/patterns-spring-summer-woman-dress-8031-488.html.

I am working on an modification (improvement) to the pattern as we speak and will post it on this site once ready.

I love variegated yarn like this as you get a beautiful result even with a simple pattern.

Hope you get inspired by this ! Enjoy!!

 

 

Summer Beach Themed Tote Bag

This  beach themed bag reminds me of the sun & sea with it’s 3D starfish and conch shells as decorations. I was inspired by the Maltese summers an beaches in Malta.

I’ve made it using the same base pattern that I published earlier ( https://manjrisplace.wordpress.com/2019/06/20/boho-tote-bag/) .  The starfish and  conch shells I adapted from a free pattern found on Ravely (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sea-shell-motifs–garland).
