Hi there, I hope you are well. I finally finished my crochet swimsuit cover-up dress that I started at the beginning of February. I enjoyed the slow process and was happy with how it turned out. I used 9 skeins of off-white cotton yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook. For the pattern, I followed a YouTube tutorial from  Crochettoz . It's a clear and easy tutorial to follow, thank you so much 😍 Also, I shared my process of making this cover-up on my YouTube channel, click the video below if you want to see it. And please, subscribe to my channel if you like the video and want to see more in the future 😊😍 I took a few photos of the progress and the picture below shows the start of the cover-up dress. I did chain stitch until I reached 60'' and followed with double crochet stitch and then crocheted the patterns.

For the yarn, I used 7 skeins cotton yarn : 875 m. And for the needle, I used 3.5 mm crochet hook. The finished top is just so comfy and roomy in the sleeves.

But it is okay, I will wear it during colder month, on top of long t-shirt :) The process started with back piece, I worked from the middle bodice - 90 chain stitches followed with double crochet stitches until measured 23 cm. Then continue worked in the back neckline by marked both shoulders 16 cm, and shaped the neckline un...

Hi.... hope you have a lovely Sunday :) Finally I finished my last project for  Christmas Crafts 2015  : Crochet Santa Claus. I decided to make two in different sizes, the small one is 11 cm height and the bigger is 16 cm. I think they are very cute and so happy that everyone in my house loved them. I found the free pattern and tutorial with video from Youtube, the original language is in Italian but come with English subtitles. Here is the link,  how to crochet santa claus  by Annarella Gioielli For the materials, I used wool yarns in white, beige and red colours. G-hook 6 mm, tapestry needle, polyester stuffing, wiggle eyes and all purpose glue. The process was easy and very relaxing, it is a great thing to do between sewing :)  I started my work with round 1 : six single crochet in magic ring and then did round 2,3,4 following the video until the last step. I think I am not going to write every step on crochet this little Santa. I advise...
