Hi! I\u00b4m Wilma, a crochet designer<\/a> <\/strong>from the Netherlands. Crochet started as a hobby<\/em> during my Christmas break in 2014, but soon turned into more. In 2015, I started my blog Wilmade.com<\/a> on which I share free crochet patterns. In 2018, I quit my job as a communication & PR officer to become a full-time designer. I\u00b4m sharing this passion with my mom<\/a> who also designs crochet patterns. My granny and sister often model my designs and my husband and dad help to take pictures. It\u00b4s a real family<\/strong> business! I usually make shawls and hats, but lately I\u00b4ve discovered the joy of making garments. When I saw Katia Magic Diamonds<\/em>, I fell in love and decided to make a simple top<\/strong> with the planned pooling technique<\/em>. Below you can find my video tutorial<\/strong><\/a> for a crochet top made with Katia Magic Diamonds<\/a><\/em> in size S up to 5XL.<\/p>\n

Planned Pooling Top<\/h2>\n

This top is made with Katia Magic Diamonds<\/a>, a special yarn that can be used for planned pooling<\/em>. Planned pooling<\/strong><\/a> is a technique where you change the color order by adding or removing a stitch<\/strong> at the end of a row. So basically all you have to do, is work single crochet<\/em> stitches and the yarn will automatically create a beautiful diamond<\/em> effect. This pattern is very simple and perfect for beginners<\/strong>. The top is made out of 2 identical rectangles which are sewn together on the sides and shoulders. You can use\u00a0Katia Merino Aran<\/em><\/a> to make the sleeves. They are joined in the armhole<\/em> and worked in continues rounds<\/strong> with single crochet stitches. Yep, the entire top is made with single crochet<\/strong> stitches!<\/p>\n
