This side-to-side cardigan uses the appearance of stripes within the lace stitch pattern to create figure-flattering vertical lines. Three-quarter length sleeves and clean, unfussy details make the cardigan versatile enough to wear over jeans and a camisole or over an elegant silk blouse.
Dozens of captivating crochet creations!
Dear Crochet Friend,
Taylor Swift has taken the music world by storm, and what a storm it is! Her songs sweep you up and carry you to new heights. The music from her Eras tour has inspired us to create five bold collections that celebrate the beauty and power of this modern music icon.
Lavender Haze Collection
Float in the ethereal beauty of lavender hues with these patterns inspired by Taylor’s song “Lavender Haze.” Your wardrobe is not complete without an airy shawl to add a light layer of warmth to a sundress or to dress up a laid-back tee. Work our UnbeLEAFable Lilac Shawl flat to create an alluring leaf-like design with beautiful open spaces. This is definitely where practical meets pretty! Our Moonlit Shells Shawl (shown on the cover) is beginner-friendly and sparkles with beads along its edges. Or make our lacy, romantic, Lovely Lilac Shrug. It’s lightweight, perfect for a summer evening, and a beautiful layer to add to your evening outfit (maybe a concert?). Looking for more lace? Look no farther than out Viola Pineapple Crochet Maxi Skirt. This design is just full enough to be comfy for an evening stroll. You’ll love the feel and flow of this skirt.
Maroon Collection
Immerse yourself in the enchanting beauty of all things maroon, inspired by the mesmerizing lyrics of Taylor Swift’s iconic song. The Briar Blanket is filled with textured stitches and a mix of hues, from deep maroon to soft taupe. Cozy up under this beautiful blanket while you let the music take you away! The Changing Seasons Sweater is a stylish, flattering masterpiece of scallops and ribbing—fancy enough to wear to a concert! If you only need an accent piece that makes a statement while it keeps the chill off, our Metallic Lace Wrap is just the thing. It’s the perfect bit of glitz, and no one but you will know it’s an easy pattern (we won’t tell!).
Bejeweled Collection
We all like a little dazzle now and then, and Taylor’s song “Bejeweled” makes us want to sparkle! Why not start at home? Your home is your castle, and it deserves royal treatment. The Royal Rhinestone Pillow will do the trick with a simple seed stitch background to show off the floral rhinestone pattern you add to the finished project. Bask in the glow and glitter of this lovely pillow as you relax on your royal throne! Or add some light and airy dazzle to your next outfit with our Electric Jade Wire Necklace, made using the easiest form of wire crochet; you’ll be bejeweled without breaking the bank! For a warmer bit of sparkle, our Crimson Beaded Neck Wrap features a sprinkling of glass beads that will give an elegant touch to any outfit.
Cardigan Collection
Wrap yourself in cozy comfort and warm memories with something from our Cardigan Collection, inspired by Taylor’s tender song. Keep our Arista Cardigan on hand for early morning walks. This extra-cozy cardigan is a symphony of texture and color. And don’t let this cardigan’s boldness make you hold back: this pattern is rated easy! How about a cardigan with a bit of attitude? Make our Marilie Bobble Cardigan to have a real statement piece on hand for special occasions, or just every day (why not?). Oversized? Yup. Bobbles & embroidery? You bet! But there will also be days when you want something both cozy and tailored; that’s our McIntosh Sweater. The clean lines and bold accents on this cardigan will make it a keeper for sure!
Red Collection (I Like Crochet’s version)
Rich shades of red permeate this collection inspired by Taylor’s powerful storytelling. One of our favorite patterns is the Wheel of Fire Shawl. Designed with alpaca in mind, this shawl is bold and lacy and totally beautiful! Make a statement on your next outing with this fabulous wrap! If you’re up for a more homestyle challenge, we’ve found a clever way to make this Lodge Plaid Blanket with fewer loose ends than you’d imagine—and beautiful straight edges! This pattern will look stunning in your cabin—or your den. Looking for something a little more relaxing? Use shells, picots, and clusters to make our Stitches in Time Afghan. It’s easier than it looks, and you’ll love the low-key, airy style. And doesn’t it look great in red?
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is a celebration of her amazing music, and we’re thrilled to share our pattern collections inspired by this powerful and prolific artist. You’ll find no shortage of inspiration in these collections. Be fearless in your choice of new crochet projects and you’ll have the best day!
