Manchester Vest is being tested for the second time, and I am having the urge the brush mine in hopes it will look like a marshmallow, but will I just ruin it?

This week I can show off 3 testers: crocheting on the go, with the most gorgeous rainbow yarn, .rashod with the perfect crochet set up 😍😍😍

Please let me know if I am making a huge mistake brushing the vest or if it’s a risk worth taking 🤔

Wishing everyone a lovely week 💕

The best thing about made to measure crochet pattern is being able to use yarn from my stash. I initially made the Porto top in worsted weight (photos on my feed), and because this is such an intuitive pattern it was so easy to customize it to a thinner yarn and still get the perfect fit!! 💕

This pattern also includes 3 different bust shaping methods to make sure we can get a comfortable fit for the girlies!

PS: The Porto Crochet Top pattern is a fully tested pattern and it’s available on Etsy 🔗 in bio 🤍

The yarn 🧶 I used for the Palamos Bikini is microfiber acrylic! I’ve tried making swimsuits with cotton as well, but it gets heavy, stiff, and takes tooooo long to dry ☀️

If you’ve never worked with it: microfiber acrylic still has that clean summer yarn look (zero fuzziness!), but it’s super lightweight, holds its shape, and dries way faster. Plus, when it’s completely dry, it has a gorgeous silky shine that catches the sun—just like mercerized cotton! 🤓✨

The Palamos Bikini Pattern is out now! It includes my exact yarn recommendations, sizing guide, step-by-step instructions, and all the testers details, so you can make your own water-friendly bikini 💕

Crochet or a good book?☀️I am very practical: when I am tanning in the front, I crochet, when I need to tan in my back, I read 😅

Even though I gained some weight since this video, the Palamos bikini always makes me feel comfortable at the beach, this year I just made a size bigger, and I still feel good in it! Which is another thing I love about crochet, it accompanies us through all of our body changes 🫶

On a side note: if you are a millennial, you know what I mean when I say I’ve struggled with body image, and only this year I realized I don’t really care about my size, as long as I am wearing clothes that fit me properly, I still feel good 💃 (I actually felt bad in most of the photos I took on this holiday 🤯)

About the Palamos Bikini Pattern: it’s an intermediate level crochet project, and I used a microfiber / summer acrylic yarn! Basically, it has little to no fuzz (little hairs), and I actually prefer it to cotton because when wet is not as stiff, dries faster and dries back to its original size 🤓 I think it can also be called anti-pilling acrylic yarn!?
