Hairpin Lace Crochet Kit - Not actual garment

This kit includes the yarn to create the Lotus Dress, and it also includes a downloadable version* of the pattern.  We offer Feza Nirvana: a plied 100% super soft bamboo yarn.

Although Nirvana is not the yarn featured in the pattern, this 100% bamboo yarn is a wonderful yarn substitution for the featured yarn since it has similar drape as the featured silk. Do watch as well: bamboo grows just as silk does with blocking so be mindful to work from a blocked gauge swatch when determining project gauge to ensure that you have sufficient yarn for the project as well as desired fit.

Best yet: Bamboo is less than half the price of silk! Get a similar look and SAVE.

We showcase the design in Tilli Tomas Soie de la Mer Eternal Diva.

The Lotus Dress is a super fast and easy project using crochet hairpin lace. If the beauty of Lotus doesn't entice you to try hairpin lace, perhaps the speed of this project will.

This try-on-as-you-go project can be completed in a week. Lotus is created by joining hairpin lace strips of different lengths into a classic feather and fan pattern. The strips vary in length to hug the curves of the female form; each join is subtly different although the overall pattern of the dress remains the same.

Key to this design is the forgiving fit: not only is hairpin fabric stretchy, but also the texture of the join pattern helps Lotus obscure any bulges that you might like kept under wraps.

* If you wish to have a mailed version of the pattern, please follow link below to add hardcopy pattern to your cart.

Crochet Poncho Pattern - Not a Finished Garment

We’ve revised and reinterpreted the pattern that introduced a new generation of crocheters to the beauty of Tunisian Crochet: our popular Asymmetric Poncho.

Our new version replaces the shoulder seam with a shawl pin and provides new ideas for wearing this versatile design. This light and airy garment is the perfect “barely-there-layer” for warmer weather and looks great over clothing or as a cover-up at the beach.

There are 3 key components to the Asymmetric Redux: a large Tunisian Crochet hook, gorgeous yarn and basic Tunisian Crochet stitches. The result is a garment that looks woven, has luxurious drape and works up in a snap thanks to the hefty hook.

• For warmer weather and evenings: Similar to the Anthropologie and Murielle ponchos, this poncho is the perfect "barely-there layer" for summer. This poncho looks great with jeans and a skimpy tank top or as a cover-up at the beach.
• For cold weather: Wear this poncho with a pair of boots and skirt or jeans for a warm and wonderful way to look good when the weather turns chilly.

No matter which yarn you use to work it, the poncho has a sensuous feel, a luxurious drape and looks woven instead of crocheted due to usage of Tunisian (Afghan) crochet techniques and a very large hook. Best of all, the poncho is SUPER EASY to make, you can finish the poncho in a single weekend!

Tunisian Crochet Pattern - Not actual cap

A little slouch goes a long way! These perfect little collapsed hats are a great way to learn Tunisian Crochet in the round, as well as a simple little way to add a touch of cool to every outfit. The stitches lend themselves nicely to a natural rolling of the edge, or fold up the brim for more of a beanie effect.

Our pattern showcases 3 variations of the same hat and we show 2 different Tunisian Crochet techniques that can be used to work in the round (See our free, online videos for learning Tunisian Crochet in the Round):

• Simply Slouchy (in Blue): You can make this hat using EITHER Tunisian Loop or Double Ended Hook Spiral Method. Just choose your favorite! See our online tutorial videos for the Tunisian Loop technique. This hat can serve as a baseline for your own variations, including using Tunisian Loop to do Three Color Tunisian in the round.
• Tied Up (in silver grey): Work starts flat for this cap and then the rows are joined into rounds. This hat was designed for the Tunisian Loop Method.
• Eastern Gypsy (with tassel in violet): This hat showcases the use of color. The Double Ended Hook Spiral Method shines when used for this kind of color work. Our photography features this hat with the optional tassels.

Timeless Knitted Hats Pattern - Not actual hats

Two classic hat designs that are engineered for simplicity, fast knitting and impact. The Cabled Turban provides both a chance to play with cables, and a chance to play with a trend: be traditional and wear it centered or buck the trend and wear with the gather to the side. The Knitted Fleece Cloche keeps its tulip shaping without the hassle of felting. It is knitted from the top down and you can try it on as you go.

Please note:

• The Cabled Turban coordinates with the Cabled Wristlets that are available for purchase in a separate pattern collection (coming soon): Quick Fitted Wristlet.
