I have decided to create this crop top pattern due to popular demand after a lovely young lady wore a granny square outfit I made on a well known TV show in Australia (which can’t be mentioned here). It’s an easy make and if you have a daughter, nieces or friends or you’re young yourself, you might like it.

I need to have a crochet project that is easy and I can do when I am exhausted after a long day. Something without much counting that I can watch Netflix or TV as I do it. It must be portable so I can carry it with me when I go places and have to wait. It can’t have too many ends to weave in but it still must look good!

This fast and easy crochet tunic made from a Scheepjes Whirl works up super quickly once you memorise the two row pattern. The pattern gives instructions in the method to make the top fit any size so you can make it to fit yourself perfectly. It uses a size 14-16 size (Australian sizing) as an example.

This blanket is super easy to make and very effective.

A while ago I made this square plain cotton. Then one day I made it using this rainbow cotton yarn and I loved the look with the cream and rainbow colours. To me this square looks like a window, so I decided to make a cushion reflecting our current coronavirus lockdown situation in 2020 and it is called the “Looking through the windows” cushion.
