Crochet Craft Club No. 21 | 6.6.25

Hello and happy almost-summer, yarn friends! I’m jumping into your inbox with some summer garments that look cute and cool.

Granted, I live in Los Angeles, so knitted and crocheted garments aren’t really conducive to a comfortable summer outfit when its 90+ degrees outside—but I know a cotton knit tank or an open weave top can work in other areas of the world during summer and I’m jealous!

The following are some bucket-list patterns that I would love to make one day. I have some on my immediate to-do list, while others are dream projects because of time constraints or my lack of knitting skills.

Speaking of knitting—I finally learned how and completed my first project! You’ll have to keep reading to the end to find out what my first completed object is. 😉

9 Halls Crochet Pattern by Unravel &

I love the look of crochet button-ups, but I’ve never attempted one—until now. I purchased the 9 Halls Crochet Shirt pattern from Unravel & after one of my best friends accepted my offer for an experimental crochet shirt. I say “experimental” because I don’t have the best track record when it comes to making crochet garments that actually fit.

I looked through this PDF pattern and it looks adaptable for different sizes, but doesn’t provide exact measurements. That makes me kind of nervous because I don’t know what I’m doing. Maybe the lack of exact measurements will be easier? Idk. I guess we’ll see what happens! Regardless, this shirt is giving summer vacation energy and I like it.

Home Camisole Knitting Pattern by Caidree

I have been following Sabina (@caidree) on Instagram for years now. I have always admired her patterns and her eye for all things aesthetic and cozy. She is all about natural fibers and modern yet timeless designs. I love this Home Camisole pattern, which is intended to be made with cashmere yarn, although any light dk weight yarn can work.

As I mentioned earlier, I can’t imagine comfortably wearing this in the summertime where I live, but this top would definitely be a spring or fall staple in my wardrobe. I love the timeless design and comfortable ease.

Maggie Vest by Petite Knit

So, I’m personally not a vest girlie, but I love people who are and I’m jealous of those who pull this style off. This Maggie Vest knitting pattern by ever-popular Petite Knit looks so cute and versatile. I can see this piece easily transitioning from summer to fall to winter with some clever layering. Plus, the possibilities when it comes to the buttons on this thing is v exciting to me.

I’ll probably never make this, but you should. I swear everyone can pull off a vest except me.

Unisex Button-Up Crochet Top by Ivey Made Co.

I know that all of these patterns are technically unisex because people can wear whatever they want, but this top specifies, which is why I’m including it in the title! This Ivey Made Co. crochet pattern is adaptable for different sizes, and reviews say it is easy to follow. Personally, I’d make the sleeves a little shorter, but that’s just me. That’s the beauty of a well-written, adaptable pattern, right?

WIP Update: I Finished My Sophie Scarf!

I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT: I have finally learned basic knitting skills! I completed my very first Sophie Scarf back in February/March, and I’m thrilled with the results!

The pattern is super easy to understand. However, I’ve made two Sophie Scarves at this point and I’ve managed to slightly mess up both of them. The first one I made has a hole in it and is kind of short; the second one I made is reaaaallllly long. Idk what happened.

Regardless, I’m proud of myself for learning how to knit! It took me long enough. I’m hoping to graduate to a raglan sweater soon. I will keep you updated whether you care or not!
