curly & cozy classics

Curly wool furs with or without sleeves and both can be worn inside out.

Two crochet classics from my handmade fashion collection, the cozy crochet cardigans I made a long time ago.

A piece that doesn't go out of style and feels wonderful soft and warm to wear.

You can find the crochet patterns in my ETSY SHOP.

Over the weekend we had our first snowfall of the season.

Everyone was so excited about the snow yesterday! Snow photos and videos everywhere on Instagram and blogs.

Snow days can mean two things, either you want to stay at home or you want to go outside and hear your footsteps in the snow.

Yesterday, I preferred the first option, but this afternoon we had more snow and I dressed warmly to go out and enjoy the cold and beautiful winter landscape. Snow proof with woolen sweater, beanie, scarf, mittens, boots and I borrowed Pippa's fake fur coat, it was great to play outside...

d.i.y. handmade luxe looped cardigan

The handmade crochet luxe looped cardigan you can make yourself.

You can download the pattern in my Etsy shop.

Yesterday I came across a photo on the instagram account of Anthropologie...

A loopy cardigan that looks a lot like my wooly cardigan.
So I went to the Anthropologie webshop to have a closer look;

a hand-knit luxe looped cardigan for $580.00?!



I did not believe my eyes...

I made a loopy cardigan some years ago, even made some for others and after a lot of request I wrote the pattern.

You can make the luxe cardigan yourself and save some money for a nice city trip.
Haha, why don't you join one of the Cool Crochet workshop in Marrakech next year and I can show you how to work the loop stitch...

If you think the cardigan is too fluffy you can also wear it inside out. Here's a l i n k to an old 'inside out' blogpost from 2013.

I wear mine a lot and it is still one of my favorite cardigans. I always get a lot of compliments and nice comments when I wear it.

After a pretty long period of Indian summer days, autumn made its appearance.

All cardigans back on the rack!
The snug wooly cardigan I have already made some years ago and I love to wear it again. Cardigans are my favorite winter apparel.

You can find the pattern of this cardigan in my E T S Y shop. Making your own wooly cardigan is fun to do and nice to wear.

I wish you a warm snug Sunday!

Winter crochet on repeat.

This warm white wooly winter cardigan is very cozy and comfy! Good thing is, you can make one yourself.

You can find the pattern in my Etsy shop (with PDF file in English and Dutch edition)

The pattern is not difficult at all and winter isn't over yet...
