Since I released my Bear Hooded Cardigan for kids I got really many requests to make same pattern for adults. It took me a few years to finally do it. And I couldn’t be happier with the result. The cardigan is really comfy and easy to wear. It is easy and pretty fast to make […]
Spring is approaching and it is a great time to update your little one’s wardrobe. I don’t know about you, but for me spring is the most productive period to crochet and knit. I am again inspired by the sun and good weather, but it is still fresh enough to enjoy working with the yarn. […]

There is a new sweater pattern just released, my friends! It is a pattern for Raindrops Sweater! Initially this sweater was designed with a fuzzy yarn, like Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk. Using fuzzy yarns, in crochet can be scary, but the result is so worth it. You get super cute finished item, light as a cloud, […]
If you follow my work for some time, you know that I love all things ruffle, peplum and pleats. Yes, I do. I still want to play with those details a lot, and here is a result. This Cable Cardigan with Pleats is a mix of vintage and modern. It drapes beautifully and will add […]
