The Vintage Style Poncho

I'm very behind in school, but this weekend I just felt the need to make stuff.  So finally... a new pattern!  Stitch happy, all!

Find it on Etsy, Ravelry, and Craftsy!

Pineapple Robe - more sizes!

OK... I promised this a while back and have been super side tracked since then BUT it is finally here.  I'm working out some options for making the Pineapple Robe in LARGER sizes!
***Please note that these sizes might not EXACTLY match up with apparel sizes you buy in the store... check all measurements I have listed in the sizing guide to be sure!

So for an XL/XXL size use a K hook.
Gauge with a K hook:  6 stitches and 6 rows = 2 inches
A:  28 inches
B:  58 inches (If repeated the full 5 times, if this is too long, lessen the number of repeats.)
C: 30 inches (If repeated the full 5 times, if this is too long, lessen the number of repeats.)
D: 13 inches
E:  17 inches

While making this sweater with such a large hook, the likelihood of the cotton stretching goes way up.  Read about cotton and shrinking it in the dryer in THIS POST.

TRENDING!!!

Holy Cow!  My email exploded yesterday!  Pineapple Robe started trending on Craftsy!  What a treat!  Thank you so much everybody!  Can you tell by all my exclamation marks how excited I am???!!!

HOPE ALL NEW BUYERS HAVE A FANTASTIC STITCHING WEEKEND!  Thanks so much for brightening mine!!!

Extra idea for The Pineapple Robe

You may have purchased the pattern to make the pineapple robe... it has been pretty popular which is pretty awesome - it's my favorite too!

So say you don't want to invest ALL that time and ALL that yarn...  Make a shorter version!

Repeat the pattern for the body pieces 3 times total on the back piece,  once to establish the collar for each of the front pieces, and then 2 repeats of the normal pattern after that, and two repeats of the pattern for the sleeves.  Now you have a nice short summer sweater instead of a robe!  YAY!  Stitch happy!

Stripes and cool stuff

Hi all.  So, it's been a while since I have been in this spot, but I'm running low on little crochet project ideas to include as a FREE DIY on this blog.  BUT I do have lots of ideas that are little alterations to a pattern you may have already purchased...  So I'm going to include these ideas in the EXTRAS page up top.

So first...  I love the clothing I am seeing  made from Peruvian and Mexican style colored blankets.  If I had a Mexican blanket on hand and was a better sewer I would make myself a jacket STAT.  But since I don't, I've incorporated the idea into a crochet piece, and you can too!

I've incorporated these colorful Mexican blanket stripes into the Boho Jacket Pattern, but you can add it to any pattern you have that is made from plane old single crochet stitches.  It's a great way to use up extra yarn you have sitting around... start playing with some stripes!  Hint:  have 2 rows as a minimum for each stripe, 1 row will look more like stitches than a stripe.  If you like that look, go for it, but it won't look as much like these Mexican blanket jackets.

Check out the images below to see how I incorporated this idea into a jacket.  And check the images below that for the jackets from Free People that inspired me for ideas on striping and colors.  Play with it, and have fun!

The Boho Jacket

I love this jacket.   And you can make it yourself!

Help with the Pineapple Robe

Hey all!  I haven't had any questions on it yet, but I'm already anticipating some possible confusion with the side panels that are part of the Pineapple Robe pattern.  If you've made it through already, you are a steller crocheter!  If you need some more help... here you go!  (Click on the photo to enlarge it a little!)

The Pineapple Robe

Finally!  A new pattern!  Hopefully they will be coming out a bit faster for the next little while.  I'm signed up for a full load of summer classes, but semesters always start slow, right?  Haha.  Fingers crossed.

So this is it... the Pineapple Robe.  Perfect for those chilly summer nights when you are out and about and need just a little something to keep you warm.

Faux Sheepskin Rug

I've seen these sheepskin rugs everywhere!  And they are so awesome for decorating your house (maybe more on that tomorrow).

Now you can make a version of that sheepskin rug for yourself... with crochet?  Pretty awesome, huh?  Harley dog is sure loving to cuddle on it!

Buy the pattern now on Etsy, Ravelry, and Craftsy!  Email me with any questions!

Happy stitching!

The Diamond Dress

I made this dress months ago, and finally got the pattern and all its sizes on papers.  I love this dress, and everyone at Renegade did too!  (I traded this yellow one for a different dress right off my back at the fair!)

It's pretty simple to make!  A great first dress project and the sleeves are not too complicated either!

Available on Etsy, Craftsy, and Ravelry!  And email me with any questions!

Happy Stitching!

The Faux Fur Coat

Finally got a new pattern finished!  This one took a while... and it will probably take you a while too... and use lots and lots and lots of yarn...

But it's lots of fun and super stylish!

As always... patterns available on Etsy, Ravelry, and Craftsy and email me at SansLimitesCrochet@gmail.com with any questions!
