Inspired by my friend Aishwarya @curlycrochet95 , started my Flow top in this beautiful, soft, light and airy cotton yarn that was gifted to me by my friend Lu @crochetwithlu ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have to say that the stitch definition of this yarn is chef’s kiss 😘

PATTERN OF THE WEEK - the #SeabreezeCami

If learning about how to makes Icords is on your to-do list this year, the Seabreeze Cami is perfect. An Icord cast on for the hem, Icord for the trim at the back, and Icord straps. You’ll be an Icord master in no time.

Also, how gorgeous are all of these ones?!

WOO WOO WOO WOO (in the voice of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman at the horse races 😂)

Testers finished up their #CosmoCardi tests last Friday. I’ve got all the notes inputted and now you get to see the fruit of our labour over the past 8 weeks.

I’ll be showing off photos in the next week until the pattern comes out in Friday - the 16th. BUT if you want to get a lil’ discounty discount: comment ‘NEWSLETTER’ and we will make sure you get that 😉

Keep your eye on my feed as I’ll be sharing the changes we did to this pattern through the course of our test (to make sure we got the right fit for the full span of sizes) and one mistake I made that has been now adjusted for an EVEN better pattern for yall - cause that’s literally what tests are FOR.

The #HappyHourTop2.0 pattern is finally out!🍹Closing out 2025 with a bang! 🍾

I fell in love with this stitch almost 4 years ago now, which subsequently led to the creation of some of my favourite designs, including the OG Happy Hour Top, which also became one of my best selling patterns 🤭

However, I have learned a lot in 4 years and felt that the original pattern had some room for improvement, so I finally decided to go for it and essentially ended up rewriting the pattern entirely, and the end result is one I am so proud of. The fit has been improved immensely across all sizes (swipe to see some of my incredible testers versions), the pattern now includes charted instructions, and best of all…it’s now worked from the top-down, making it super customisable to suit your individual length preferences ☺️

The pattern is available on my website, Ravelry and Etsy shops! Note that the original pattern is still available too, but has now been discounted by 50%.

A huge thank you to my brilliant tech editor @oliphantkat and phenomenal testers for helping bring this pattern to life! 💕 You were all an absolute dream to work with and I’m obsessed with each and every one of your versions 😍
