This top can be dressed up or down, and would be perfect for any occasion. It’s warm and comfy, and more lightweight than it might look. This pattern is so simple and yet very rewarding. You get into a rhythm working up the rows, and then before you know it you’re finished! It was a joy from start to finish and I recommend it for yourself or as a nice gift.

Ivy Stitch Plant Hanger – Crochet Pattern Review
This was a very simple and quick pattern, so there isn’t too much to say. The directions are pretty straight forward in terms of the structure. The most difficult part is also the most striking part of the stitch texture. The “ivy stitch” is where this pattern gets its name, and it’s a really cool look! This technique involves working what are essentially spike stitches into a sort of semi-circle shape, working into different previous rows to get the desired look.

Starry Night Pocket Shawl – Crochet Pattern Review
This pattern is mindless because it’s just one row that you repeat for the entire length. You also don’t have a strict row count, it’s a length suggestion. So you can turn off your brain and just stitch along to a movie. The finished shawl is gorgeous and will make a wonderful conversation-starter accessory for spring evenings when heavy coats aren’t needed anymore.

Chic Tank – Crochet Pattern Review
The main thing that caught my eye, and I really like about this book, is that all of the tops in this book are made using the moss stitch as a base. You may be asking what is so special about them all using the same stitch pattern, well, the simple fact that you can use one stitch pattern, and come out with 100 different looks. This book is more about learning about the simple shaping, and assembly of each garment.
