"This gorgeous, chunky crochet poncho works up quickly with a giant Q/16mm crochet hook and super bulky (6) yarn. The light, fluffy texture of boucle yarn crocheted with a jumbo hook feels like wearing a cloud! Perfect as a cardigan for church, or wrap one of the front panels around your neck for those chilly beach walks. This piece also looks amazing with a chunky leather belt, for a chic bohemian look. You will need to be familiar with foundation double crochet, as well as my special Dc5tog decreases. (The instructions are written out, and I'm working on a chart and photo tutorial for you visual learners!) Once you get the hang of those, the pattern really isn't too tricky!"

"This quick and easy slouchy crochet zig zag beanie may look complicated but it's actually very simple once you have mastered how to complete the V Stitch. (Don't be scared if you're a beginner, it's only a clever combination of double crochet stitches). I designed it to work with both chunky and bulky yarns as they give such a lovely texture to the stitches. I made mine in cotton which means it's popular for summer too (it never gets too warm in North West England!) Crocheted in the round from a magic circle it is worked top down so it can be adapted to any size from a cosy beanie or add more rows to create a more slouchy hipster look."

"The Batwing Lace Sweater is a fun and modern crochet pattern that features simple stitching combined with interesting lace shoulders that run from the neck to the wrist! This sweater works up quite quickly and is a great “relaxing” pattern for movie nights. The oversized fit takes care of any sizing worries for gifting too! While I picked gray and white, you can of course make this crochet pullover pattern in your own choice of colors. Self-striping yarn would be amazing for either the front/back or the lace bits! Or try using stripes for the front and back, or making them in two different colors for a reversible top with two looks!"

"This crochet lace summer grace cardigan is a beginner friendly crochet summer top pattern. It's made using Paton Grace cotton, which is my favorite fibre for summer projects. It can be worn over a bikini or a tank top on a casual night out. It's a simple 5 panel piece that anyone can make using this pattern. I've also included a follow along video tutorial ton make the process as smooth as possible. Hope you enjoy!"
