White + Black + Gray with ***blue*** details

Dear users, dear authors,
What do you think of designs in white , gray , and black , accented with a few blue details? Just give it a try.

@Authors,
2–3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget to include a link, an image, and the usual information.

The 1980s were really something special fashion-wise...
... but what has stuck around and is still (or already again) on trend is puff sleeves!
Such beautifully romantic sweaters can be worn in any season!

The yarn used—a blend of silk, mohair, camel, and merino—enhances the lightness of this sweater! Silkhair or something similar also works perfectly!
The boat neckline does its part too.

This project is absolutely suitable for beginners, as the pattern is kept very simple.

All patterns used are described in detail—stitch by stitch,
and a chart in knitting chart form also helps with the knitting process.

This pattern is designed for sizes S-M and L-XL.
However, the included schematic and the gauge make it possible to work any size!

And here’s the pattern and more details...

Who says knitted pieces can’t be elegant?
Far from it! This long top is the perfect companion for any candlelight dinner or a night at the opera!

The pattern is kept simple, but the special cut and the slit at the back create the effect!

This pattern is designed for sizes 36/38 and 40/42.
However, the included pattern template and gauge make it possible to make any size!

A detailed chart also guides you through joining the back and front pieces.

And here’s the pattern and more details...

The 8-page PDF pattern is illustrated, but requires the following basic crochet skills:
chain stitches, double crochet, single crochet, crocheting in rows. A link with explanations of the basic skills is included in the PDF. 

Difficulty level: easy – also suitable for experienced beginners.

Barbie dolls look great in gray and black, too! Here’s an oversized sweater paired with black pants. Both pieces have a very simple shape, so even beginners can crochet them. The sweater was crocheted using Estivo II in light gray, and the pants were made with Catania Fine in black and a 2.0 mm crochet hook.

And here’s a fur jacket with a matching hat in white or blue for Barbie. Of course, it’s not made from real animal fur—it’s crocheted from fluffy yarn! Barbie also wears a loop scarf made from sock yarn.
The jacket can also be crocheted to any length you like—for example, as a coat.

A stole in dark gray looks very elegant. It goes well with everything, and you’ll be well dressed for any elegant occasion.
You’ll need: 4-ply sock yarn, at least 500 m of it, 4 mm knitting needles, and a bit of experience with lace patterns.

You can find the pattern here.

A gray infinity scarf goes with everything, too. It’s quick to knit and not hard at all. A simple textured pattern with a few lace rows in between—that’s all.

Here you can find the pattern.
