Sunlace Bandana, ILC October 2025

Check out my new pattern, Sunlace Bandana, available in I Like Crochet magazine, October 2025 issue. 

Pair the joyful tones of late-summer sunshine with delicate stitches in the Sunlace Bandana! This airy bandana is a fantastic between-season staple for tying back long hair on those unseasonably warm fall days. Use a fine weight yarn and a floral lace stitch to create a flowy, breathable fabric. It adds a touch of free-spiritedness to any outfit, and would pair particularly well at a festival, picnic or any outing with friends.

You will also find other beautiful patterns in this issue. Let’s celebrate the upcoming shift in seasons with brand new patterns created for cooler weather and warmer color palettes.  From a lacy bandana and new scarf to a gorgeous granny square dress (yes, a new crochet dress) there’s something for everyone to treasure inside this new issue.

It's very soft, smooth and has satin like finish. I thought that it is more suitable for garments and I decided to design a basic V neck vest in kids sizes. And I am glad I did.
