Crochet top patterns for summer
Crochet isn’t just for cool weather. There are so many elegant warm weather yarns available you can wear your craft year round in style.
Fibers like bamboo, cotton, cotton blends, tencel and more make for great drape and comfort. In this post I talk about truboo bamboo yarn and how to best make it work along with several patterns you can use it for. I have designed several patterns with this luxe-feeling yarn as I live in a warm climate and like sophisticated styles.
Cotton yarn to me will always be kind for many summer staples. I have a post on mako cotton yarn and why its so special with a note on pima cotton too. Why they are different than crafter cotton and are they worth the expense. Even Dollar Tree has cotton yarn. I review it here.
