This is your essential summer crochet! You know, the one you’ll make with ease and wear the whole season.

It was inspired from some of my most cherished memories that came back to me recently. Memories of that wild, restless years when the summers were all magic, all fun, a wild dance from one adventure to another.

I put some of these feelings into the stitches and made a wearable and evolvable garment that is also fun to crochet.

The pattern includes instruction for a tee and a dress, and, because of its seamless top-down construction, you can decide which to make as you go. As the name suggests, “Livin’ Is Easy” has an easy construction and a mindful lacy stitch pattern that is relaxing to make.

It is also a versatile one, so style it with a jacket or layer it over a long-sleeved dress and you got yourself a mid-season outfit prepared for the first cold or ready for the first sunbeams.

The pattern comes in 6 sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL and 2XL. The amounts of yarn are aproximate and given for the tee version: 450, 550, 650, 800, 950, 1100. For the short dress, you’ll need about 30% more.

Gauge: 2 3-row repeats in the stitch pattern of 3 different lace rows (y-stitch, inverted y-stitch and dc) = 10cm.
