Lookbook #13 - DAYDREAMS BY EMILIA

CROCHET YOUR OWN 'ON-TREND' FASHION

Well fitted, on trend crochet patterns for fashion aren’t always easy to find. When we met Emilia (@coffeeandcrocheting) we were immediately impressed. Her minimalistic Scandinivian style combined with her love for colors and textures are a perfect match with Yarn and Colors.

In the beginning of 2020 we collaborated with Emilia before, when she entered the Baby Fabulous contest. A few months ago we asked her to help us out with making a complete lookbook with crocheted garments only using different yarns from our brand. And now… Meet lookbook #13: Daydreams by Emilia.

All crochet patterns, all stylish and wearable on and for many occasions. All her patterns are written for sizes XS up to XXL and contain detailed sketches and photo tutorials.

Are you looking for a warm and comfortable cardigan – the MORNING GLORY CARDIGAN is the way to go for you. It is made with our Cheerful and did we tell you it has invisible pockets? Another cardigan Emilia designed is the AFTERNOON TEA CARDIGAN, which is made from our Serene. It has a fitted look, but flares out to a beautiful peplum on the bottom.

Sweater weather alert! Absolutely no problem! This lookbook contains three different patterns for sweaters. The BRUNCH TIME SWEATER which is made from our Baby Fabulous, the SUNRISE SWEATER (made from Serene) and the SUNSET STRIPES SWEATER (made from Zen).

MEET EMILIA | COFFEE AND CROCHETING

As a way to practice fine motor skills, Emilia (also known on Instagram as @coffeeandcrocheting) started to crochet after joining medical school. Quickly this hobby turned in to a job on the side after she had designed her first own garment. What she likes most about designing? Combining crochet, creativity, problem-solving and math.

Emilia is a 30-year-old Scandinavian designer who loves minimalism and simplicity but isn’t afraid to mix it up with colors and patterns. She has designed for Yarn and Colors before, when she won the Baby Fabulous Contest. This time we asked her to help us out with making a complete lookbook with crocheted garments only – her specialty - using different yarns from our brand.

Emilia says herself: “my idea behind this lookbook was designing garments that you feel nice, pretty and comfortable in at home (since we all are at home quite a lot this year), but still pretty enough to also wear outside taking a walk, strolling in a park, meeting a friend for coffee or brunch or hanging by the campfire.

The names of the garments are different times/occasions of the day and ideas on when to use it. They represent everyday occasions but are also named after more fun/special occasions like a brunch or having afternoon tea.

The garments are made to look as different to each other as possible but still have my minimalistic Scandinavian style mixed up with color and fun elements. The idea is for everyone to find their favourite but also give them an option to make them all because they are similar but match at the same time.
