Hi everyone. I am Sindhu from @cosine_crochet. Basically I am an amigurumi artist. Only recently I started exploring other forms of crochet. While scrolling through Pinterest, I saw a crochet necklace, unable to find a pattern, I decided to just wing it. I have used 15-16 different colours of Anchor Embroidery threads and a crochet hook of size 1.6mm to make this “Gem Drops Jewellery Set”. This is beginner level crochet. Anyone with basic knowledge of crochet, will be able to make this. Thank you.
Hi! This is Vimala Vignesh and I have been crocheting for more than 25 years. I have always crocheted for others and have for long wanted to crochet a saree blouse for myself. Work with Anchor Crafts came at the right time to give this idea a go. I used Anchor knitting cotton art. 4057 in shade numbers 22 and 330. I used 400 gms totally shade 22 -300 gms and shade 330 about 100 gms. The size I made was large. This pattern , designed by my daughter, uses post stitches and is worked neck down, left shoulder first, then right and joined. Same is repeated for the back and then these the are joined to form the bodice. The sleeves are worked flat and then attached. This blouse is a pullover kind and it sits perfectly though I would suggest adding elastic at the base of the blouse to ensure a fitted look. I am really happy the way the blouse came together and I am happy I got to make this using anchor knitting cotton. You can find me on Facebook/Instagram under the user name- vimalavignesh.
Hello I am Meenakshi and my Instagram handle is CrochetMantra. I always wanted my first top to be my own pattern, my original design!! When I got this opportunity from Anchor I decided this is the time to design and make one for myself. I named my top Red Shadow and the reason behind that is obviously the colors I used and to also indicating that it’s about me coming out of the shadows. I came out of my fear of making wearable. I used Anchor 4057, Colors 47, 10, Hook size 3mm. I made mine in size medium. Pattern is more like intermediate level. I worked in rounds till the armhole then I divided it in 2 parts, front and back. After doing neck part and joining shoulders I added some frills to give some style there. I easily managed the back of neck in boat shape, but had a little difficulty with front V- neck. Finally after working on it several times, it came out really well,if I do say so myself. Drape is good but instead of using textured stitches it would have been better to use lighter or lacier stitch. Looking on the bright side it will make a perfect wearable should the weather turn a bit chilly.

Hello everyone, Im Priyanka from craftsandcoffee17. I always wanted to try crochet blouses for sarees. So decided to make one. I got fantastic , quick and easy crop top pattern from Pinterest that is Ruffle Sleeve Crop Top.
It is a very good option for blouse and I chose cotton yarn from Anchor threads. Here I have used Anchor mercerised knitting cotton Art. 4057 in red colour with shade number 047. Usually anchor threads come in balls of 50g and I used 4 to 4.5 balls for this crop top, which is approximately around 800 yards. I used a 2.5mm hook size. Basic crochet level is enough for this make with a bit knowledge of seaming, sizing and fit. Only challenge I faced here is to make crop top fit like a blouse without buttons or hooks . The long tail construction to knot at back is a good option to make fit to size. The Knot also turned out classy. Draping is very comfortable as a long tail is provided to make flexible in tieing tight or lose as we want.
Hello, I am Meera Radhakrishnan. The meanbo open front bolero is a simple summer wear and can be paired with casual outfits.Its incredibly light so its perfect for hot summer days. This crochet bolero pattern is simple and beginners friendly and quite quick to work up. The pattern is worked as one piece with only minimal seaming required.
I have used anchor mercerised cotton 4057 shade no 54, the hook size is 2.5mm and approximate yardage required for making this small size bolero is 550yds. This anchor yarn will give the bolero a light and cool feel and perfect for summer. If you are new to crocheting lace, then this bolero would be a perfect opportunity to give it a try.

Hi I’m Pooja and my Instagram handle is poojascrochet.
I have made an easy lacy summer vest. The pattern is designed by Katerina, I got it from Pinterest and it is also available on the designer’s blog bykaterina.com. The great part about this pattern is that it is available in written format, as a chart pattern and as a video tutorial. It is an advanced beginner pattern since it uses only simple crochet chains and stitches. I have made this vest using Anchor 4057 in shade 0050 which is a pretty pink and I used a 2.5 mm crochet hook. I used about 4 and a half balls which comes up to about 220g. The anchor cotton makes the vest comfortable for the summer since it is soft and light. It is easily customisable to any size. I had a great time making this pattern.
