There is a stitch in the book that I would probably skip at first glance, because it doesn't look very bold or eye-catching. But in fact, it is extremely useful and often needed in projects: the Twisted Eyelet stitch from Chapter 1.

I don't usually use it on its own, but I love adding it as a gentle row of tiny, airy eyelets. It is very simple! Let’s try it!

For lovers of technical details!

Turning motifs into tops has been such a joy - and a little puzzle too!

With the Linen and Mint Leaf tops, I started from the Wave top construction, but with some modifications.

In this post, I’ll walk through the changes I made and how I solved the uneven motif shapes.

I have a question about whether the Zirka shawl pattern can be adapted into a rectangular shape, such as a scarf or a blanket.

There are a few possible methods to transform a triangular piece into a rectangular or square shape in filet crochet.

Chocolette and Pacific are calm, comforting shawls to wrap up in: simple to make, easy to wear, and full of quiet texture. They share the same stitch patterns but use different constructions.

In this post, you’ll find:
• How each shawl is constructed
• Tips for adjusting the size
• How to calculate yardage
• Color ideas to inspire you
• A quick tutorial for the X-sc stitch used in both patterns.

In this post, I am sharing all the details about the Chaitee crochet top - its construction, shaping options, yarn choices, color inspiration, and tips for substitutions!

Whether you are planning to make it in merino or cotton, you’ll find helpful info to guide your project.

The Botanika shawl design started with three skeins of yarn, which should be enough for a shawl and... nothing else! My mind was completely clear and I had no ideas at all.

When I need to find a starting point on which to base my research, I look at the yarn's colorway and find a word to describe it. It was a peacock. It didn't mean anything to me, but that's enough for the beginning.

Welcome to a glimpse into my crochet design journey, where every crochet stitch tells a story.

Almost every day, I work on new stitch pattern ideas. Over time, they naturally group themselves by themes, like the stitch patterns based on the ribbing stitch pattern (single crochet stitches worked in the back loops).

At this point, my design research usually splits into two equally interesting paths. 

Have you ever noticed that some of your crochet designs or projects just fly off your hook, while others take months of hard work and tons of effort, yet never leave you completely satisfied with the result?
