Part 2 of my make 9 for 2023 includes a list of 4 modern crochet patterns! I believe this list has versatility in stylish options and a variety of stitches and textures. Because my knitting list had all garments, I opted to focus on accessories for the crochet list. There is one garment topping the list that I believe everyone will enjoy! Expanding my handmade wardrobe with slow fashion projects makes me appreciate and care more for my clothing. This list highlights items that I feel will fill gaps in my current accessories and enhance the essentials I wear frequently! If you’d like a more in-depth explanation of how I plan on styling my finished sweaters check out my YouTube vlog here!

I’ve included links to crochet kits, patterns, and free patterns wherever applicable. Each design has a description given in its designer’s own words. Below you’ll find highlights of my favorite features and design elements of each crochet design. These patterns are in no particular order!

1. Keep It Cute Sweater -(PATTERN) by Whitney Marie Anderson, purchase a PDF of the PATTERN here!

“Inspired by my desire for a cute multi-seasonal layering piece. This pattern is worked from the bottom up, beginning in the round for the body, split for top front and back, and seamed at the shoulders. Stitches are then picked up at each armhole for the sleeves, and stitches are picked up at the neckline for the mock or full turtleneck.” -Whitney Marie Anderson.

Key takeaways

  1. Yarn: Any preferred worsted weight that meets gauge (Suggested yarn: Color Theory by Lion Brand x Two of Wands)

  2. One stitch used throughout

  3. Easy almost seamless construction

  4. Year-round wear!
