Crochet patterns read like cold war code.
crocheted mushroom hat I made as a two year anniversary gift for my partner. it's the first step towards making their whole mushroom adventurer OC
I hate when people ask me how long it took me to crochet something I’ve made. Frankly, that’s none of my business. I put the yarn on the hook and worked on it whenever the spirit happened to take me to and then one day it was done. How long that process took is between the yarn and god; I want no part of it.
I finally finished and published a crochet pattern and of course it's a silly button beret
Denim Jacket Patches
I've done a few crochet projects over the years and most of them have ended up on my jean jacket!
2023 Trans Temperature Blanket
I started a temperature blanket for 2024 but I wanted to do it faster than 5 rows a day. So I went ahead and did one for 2023 retroactively.
I wanted to do a trans theme for it and I'm really happy with how the palette turned out. They're all Red Heart colors.
It is built strip by strip, with one day having 5 rows in the strip. The months are evened out with the border color to all have 31 days in length.
Crochet Dog Bed
I like it, my dog couldn't care less about it smh
Lemon Peel Stitch Tank Top
Just a little rectangle tank top made with a lemon peel stitch.
16th Century Linen Bodice
I went to my second Renaissance Faire and was inspired by the tops that a lot of people there were wearing. I adapted the pattern I made for my Ren Faire costume (which I really need to finish posting, oops) to make a more casual top that I would be able to get into myself.
Above photos are the pattern pieces. Left is the back piece, cut as one piece (I don't cut on fold, I trace pieces out fully as I find it gives a more precise cut, especially with more difficult fabrics). Left side is center back. Right photo shows the front piece. The bodice laces at the front and the straps go from the back piece and are tied to the bumps at the top of the front pieces. The side seams are not directly under the armpits. This placement gives a nice shape to the bodice.
I cut the lining in 4 pieces from a white cotton, with ease around all edges, because I didn't have enough fabric to do the back in one piece. Then I cut an interlining layer of thick cotton canvas in 3 pieces, with ease only on the side seams. The rest should be net, as the lining and outer fabrics will fold around this structure. We still need ease to attach the front and back pieces though. Finally I cut the outer fabric from a light green linen in 3 pieces with ease on all sides.
I assembled the lining pieces by machine. I do like to sew a lot by hand, but I see no reason for the structural seams to not be done by machine.
Once I had all the pieces cut I quickly stitched the outer fabric to the canvas interlining so I could work with it all as one piece.
I assembled the outer pieces, once again by machine.
I then folded the edges of the linen around the canvas layer and whip stitched it down, finishing the edges. Then I attached the lining in a similar manner. I should have removed the basting stitches before attaching the lining but I waited until after I had attached the lining and it was tough to get them out in some places.
From there all that is left is the lace holes. I like to do these by hand with a buttonhole stitch. I tried to avoid using a hole punch to make the holes but the canvas was too dense to just use the scary spike tool in the photo and I had to resort to the leather punch.
This last photo was right before I bought the new pink ribbon from the first photo, but I had worn it out in the wild several times already and it's always so comfortable and I feel so cute.
I love how this turned out! I've already started making a blue one that I am embroidering.
The 16th Century Renaissance Shift
There are a lot of layers that go into a 16th Century outfit and the shift is one of the most important. I made mine out of a nice linen blend following the drafting instructions in the linked youtube video.
It was all very basic shapes and easy to follow instructions so the project mostly just took a lot of time because I did a lot of hand sewing on it.
I even did the eyelets by hand, and ended up doing wrist ties through eyelets as well. I was originally going to make detachable sleeves but they weren't visible under the bodice's sleeves anyway, so I had to find another way to cuff the sleeves.
Puppy helped, of course
The Checkered Cookie Sweater Vest
Another fun crochet project: a sweater vest based on a checkered cookie!
I made it from a beautiful tweed wool yarn in purple and green that I got from my local yarn store.
It was pretty straightforward to make, just a little shaping around the arm and neck holes.
I wish that the neck was a little more rounded off but overall I love wearing this piece and I get a lot of compliments on it.
You can find the link to the pattern and technical specifications on my ravelry.
The Linen Tank Top
One of my earlier and more ambitious crochet projects was this linen tank top with geometric surface stitching.
As I was still pretty new to crochet I struggled with working with the thin linen yarn and with doing such precise surface stitching. But I did it!
And in the end I'm pretty thrilled with how it turned out!
The Turnip Sweater
Which came first... the turnip sweater, or the dog named Turnip?
I was inspired by the trend of putting crochet/knit stuff on sweaters but wanted something a little more unusual. So I went for turnips.
I freedhanded my own little turnips out of some soft cotton yarn and a small hook. I have included the pattern at the end if you're interested.
I don't have a lot of photos of the sweater process but it was an annoying one. Big sleeves take a deceptively large amount of yarn and I ran out part of the way through. I ended up buying more but it was Fingering weight instead of DK like the rest of the sweater, so it took even longer than the main body. But eventually I finished it then blocked it too big. But in the end I think it turned out pretty nice.
