Spider Web Crochet Top
Happy October! Halloween is my favorite holiday and I have released a new spooky written pattern! The Spider Web Correct Top. Written pattern sale on this website, and video tutorial on my YouTube channel. So far I've made it in white and black and I love both! Fairly simple pattern and it works up fast as its mostly chain work. I recommend using cotton yarn for this project as it drapes nicely. A merino wool would be lovely too. Acrylic can be used but it doesn't quite look the same in my opinion. The top layers nicely and looks quite...

The crochet project will look too perfect, or impossible. 4.The photo itself and the lighting will be unnaturally perfect. 5. Look closely at the stitches. Do you recognize any real stitches? Does the image look...
The Crafty Witch
Playing off of lasts years costume as Little Red Riding hood, I wanted to make another hooded cloak, but also nail down the pattern while incorporating it into another costume idea. The Crafty Witch feels more like an alter ego than a costume honestly, as crochet art has always seemed a bit like witchcraft to me as I create items out of thin air. The hooded cloak written pattern is now published and featured in a two part video on the Crochet with illJay YouTube channel: Part1: The Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcS3INnR-G8&t=0s Part 2: The Final Details : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neawo0vHp20&t=1s Although the cloak...
The Teardrop Top
Introducing my newest crochet design, the Teardrop Top for all sizes. There are a lot of cute crochet top patterns out there for the small and skinny, but not very many for the gals with bigger breasts. Upon further research, I found out that the average bra size in the US is a 36DD! This is bigger than I thought and I wanted to design a top that would fit all sizes and also be comfortable for those of us that have large breasts. I bypassed the halter top design so there would be less pressure on the neck, the...
