Those of us who can crochet, need not buy some of the staples for cool summer oufits. You only need to buy yarns or threads and sometimes you need to buy a crochet pattern.
Following are some of my suggestions from my own crochet designs. These have been around for several years, but I believe they won't go out of style.
Sea Star Cardi
My latest design for a beach cover-up or a summer cardigan is published in crochet.com as Sea Star Cardi. You may visit their website to download the pattern for free.
Pattern and project details are here on Ravelry.
Le Tote
A yarny tote, that can carry your beach essentials, or your current project if you like to take it along with you anywhere. Another downloadable free pattern from crochet.com. View the pattern and project details on Ravelry, and get inspired to make your own. I love my sample in blue. It is a practical everyday bag, soft and huggable too.
Hibiscus Tunic
A beach coverup I designed several years ago. If you love crocheting with thread, this will be quite doable for you. The pattern is available for sale at Interweave.com The price varies, and sometimes it is greatly discounted.
View this design on Ravelry.
Sienna Top
This is the Sienna Top from the book "It Girl Crochet". I used size 10 thread for my own top. I added a thin cotton fabric for lining.
The pattern for this top is available for sale on interweave.com. It can also be found in the book and magazine where its published.
Thanks for looking, happy crocheting!
I will be posting more suggestions and inspirations for summer crochet next time.
