Crochet pattern Summer Top "Spotlights" - 2 ways to wear it -

--> Get the pattern for all sizes here



This airy summer top is perfect for the beach or for your next evening outfit if you combine it with a matching camisole and light-colored 3/4-length pants. If you lengthen the main pattern by several pattern repeats, you can also easily turn it into a wonderful beach dress.

Thanks to two snap fasteners, you can wear this top in two different ways. One option is the classic straps, which can be detached at the back and then tied together at the neck, turning it into a halter top.

A total of four different patterns are used here. The patterns are fully charted and also written out again, so you can decide whether you want to work from the crochet chart or text.

Difficulty level: Easy

Required skills:

Chain stitches, single crochet, half and full double crochet, slip stitch, picot

Yarn:

Approx. 200 - 300 g of any gradient yarn cake – 4-ply – 1000 -1500 m yardage 2 snap fasteners Recommended hook size 3.5

Knitted Poncho / Stole, feather-light - very easy











(To purchase/download, please click the image)

One size - the pattern and cut are absolutely suitable for beginners.

This is a brief pattern for a feather-light, very easy-to-knit poncho in one size made from only 100 g of KidSilk (Austermann). For beginners, I recommend (lace) yarns without mohair, because mohair is almost impossible to unravel.

The PDF pattern includes the preview image.

By the way: The poncho can also be knitted nicely as a warm outdoor poncho using thick wool, 100 g - 100 m, with needle size 8.0. The required amount of yarn is then approx. 700 g. The number of stitches always depends on your individual gauge. To convert your individual gauge, I recommend this: READ IT OFF instead of calculating - PDF table for knitting and crochet as well as my blog post: Converting gauge - here's how..

Required knitting skills:
casting on, edge stitch (your favorite edge stitch), knit and purl stitches, bind off.
