New Crochet Just in Time for Fall!

9/1/2020

 

It's Time for a Crochet Wardrobe Refresh

Yes, we know. It's just the first of September. But we are big fans of Fall and the temps have been down in the 50's here at night so we're calling it. Fall wardrobe refresh season is here! Even though the daytime temps prevent us from wrapping up in cozy layers, we all know it takes a bit of time to gather the materials and actually make new crochet garments sooooo… no time like the present to get started!
For this season, we present four new crochet patterns that range from light and layerable to downright cozy. Here's a quick look at all four. Click through the photos for a more detailed look at the sizing and materials specs.

This cabled cardigan is the next showpiece in your crochet wardrobe. The luxe crochet cables ensure that you will stay engaged with this pattern from start to finish and the resulting fabric will keep you cozy on those chilly fall mornings and all through the coming winter. Design details like the generous hood and thumb openings transforming the sleeves into hand and wrist warmers will make this the wardrobe piece you reach for the most.

Crochet Cables that Little Red Riding Hood wishes she'd had.

Crochet Conch Top Pattern
Light and layerable to get you through those last days of summer.
The days might be growing cooler but some of us just aren't ready to let go of the summer vibes. With this light and layerable  crochet top, you can have both. The breezy fabric is fun to make and gives you just enough breathing room to enjoy those last fresh breezes of summer air. Don't put this one away! As the first leaves turn, you'll appreciate the added layering without feeling overwhelmed.

Y'all know we love to play with simple, geometric shapes to create wearable, fashionable garments. This crochet top was in a series of experiments that resulted in our book Crochet Geometry. The  ultimate versatile piece  for your crochet wardrobe, this top is easy to make, easy to construct, and so easy to wear… on just about any body type. You're going to want more than one of these as it will definitely be your year-round
go-to essential
for your crochet wardrobe.

A year-round essential for your crochet wardrobe.

Crochet Motif Duster Pattern
A crochet style throw back that never went out of style.
We do love a good crochet motif and we love love LOVE a duster. Throw those two together into a 70's inspired vibe and we're in heaven. We paired solid crochet fabric on the top to lend stability to the join-as-you-go motifs along the body of this light and wearable long top. You don't have to want to pack up your camper van to wear this light-weight top. Pick the colors that work for you and make this another
crochet wardrobe staple that will serve you well year round.

We hope you all love wearing these as much as we loved designing them. Click through the photos above to go to the individual pattern pages. As always, we appreciate your support of our studio by purchasing our patterns. Be sure to tag us on social media at the links below to show us what you've made so we can help you celebrate!

STITCH ON!!

Motif Duster - Crochet Digital Pattern

$7.50

There are two things the Shibaguyz really love: Dusters, and the 70's. When we were asked to create this 70's inspired duster for Interweave Crochet Magazine, we were in heaven!


We think you will be in heaven too when you see how fast this garment comes together. The "flowers" are made from a fun bobble stitch in all join-as-you-go crochet (so no seaming needed there...). The top section is a simple sc/Hdc pattern stitch that even newbies will find fun to work up. We also give you all the instructions you need to be able to change yarns in the round.
