Cashmere and crochet: a possible and beautiful combination!

It is often said that fine yarns, such as cashmere, are not particularly suitable for crochet work. In reality, this is only half the truth. It is true that cashmere is a delicate yarn, designed especially for fine knitwear, but with a few tricks it can also be transformed into truly special crochet creations.

The secret is to choose the right yarns: the thin ones, designed for machine knitting , are perfect. Light, flowing and very soft, they lend themselves very well to airy stitches and refined projects.

A creative idea: crochet summer poncho

If you want to try something different, I propose an idea that I find really interesting: a summer poncho crocheted with the witch stitch.
The witch stitch is a very open and light stitch, ideal for highlighting the quality and lightness of cashmere without weighing down the result.

The resulting poncho is elegant, fresh and perfect to wear in the evening, over a light dress or even a simple top, to add a refined touch without sacrificing comfort.

The poncho is not your favorite garment? No problem! With the same yarn and the streched stitch you can make a splendid stole , light and elegant, perfect to complete your summer outfits.

Don’t know the witch stitch? No problem!
This tutorial could be useful to learn it quickly and start your new project right away.

Happy crocheting! May your thread weave lightness, elegance and lots of joy. 🌸
