Portfolio; DIY &Notes - a crafted journey
When I gifted the first of this original Wassily01 Boxy Japanese Jacket to my friend last year as a belated birthday present, it was too small for her. So this year, I have used exactly the same pattern but with different yarns and hook sizes to create this Extra Large and roomy Japanese Boxy Jacket. I hope this time, we have a successful fit.
Wassily01 Jacket – the colours and illustration on this jacket are my abstractions from some of Wassily Kandinsky’s fabulous abstract art. Hence the name.
The shape was inspired by the easy, casual, and comfy Japanese-style boxy jackets. It is generally free sizing, which is very convenient.
In C2C Crochet, how do you make a straight diagonal edge? That was exactly what I had to do recently to make pockets that had a slanting top edge. Here is a quick tutorial on how to make a straight diagonal edge in Corner to Corner crochet.
This C2C Crochet lap blanket is based on an abstract art I saw on Pinterest. I can’t find it now and I don’t know who to credit the design to. If you know, please do let me know.
I had never heard of C2C crochet till a few short weeks ago. When I finally went to learn it, it turned out easier than I thought.
A dear friend of mine loves Marimekko designs. I just learnt C2C crochet. It seemed a perfect time for me to attempt a lap blanket, using corner to corner crochet. This was inspired by the well known Marimekko designs.
