Earlier this year, Mikey did a video tutorial of Floral Cami Top and it was a huge hit with the Crowders. We’ve seen an incredible amount of beautiful crochet pieces and we still see people love making this pattern. While we all love our Afghans and scarves, I feel like we’d like to learn a little more about crochet clothing ourselves.

Today I’m writing to Mikey to see if we can pressure him to do another tutorial video of another womenswear piece soon. He likes that I keep my sample list with about eleven choices, but I’ll tell you I could easily have added a lot more to this list. I have been collecting patterns for a long time and I wasn’t aware of how great patterns there are for crocheting.
