This free crochet shawl pattern is one that I designed as a free pattern giveaway at the Marly Bird Meet and Greet while attending the Knit and Crochet Show, 2015. I wanted to use a yarn that I love working with in two color-ways that I just KNEW would look great together. After playing around with several stitch patterns I finally decided to use a pattern that I absolutely love. Lo and behold, you can now see the ‘No Stopping Me Now' Shawl!

How to Seam a Crochet Sweater
Xanadu Crochet Pullover by Marly Bird is just one of the many wonderful free patterns over at RedHeart.com. This is also one of the few patterns that were actually designed by ME 🙂
As you know, this sweater was one I crocheted for the magazine, Crochet Today, and is now a pattern that Red Heart posted on their website because they loved it as much as I do 🙂
Designing and making sweaters are my favorite things to do, but I also like to help fellow knitters and crocheters make sweaters that they will love as well. One of the things I hear from crocheters and knitters alike is sweaters is intimidating. My goal with the Xanadu Crochet Pullover video is to help you tackle this sweater without any hesitation. Let me hold your hand and tell you how to make the sweater crocheting process easy.
Last week, I offered you a mission to make all the pieces of the sweater and then join me later when I show you how to seam a crochet sweater and how to sew on ribbing to the body of the sweater.
By this point in the sweater making process you have made all 5 parts of the sweater, Front, Back, 2 Sleeves and the Ribbing. It is time to begin seaming!
In the Marly Bird YouTube video for the Xanadu sweater I approached the tutorial differently in that I don't actually crochet along with you.
In the Marly Bird YouTube video for the Seaming of the sweater I show you how to do it.
- I walk you through how to prepare the pieces before you seam them.
- I offer suggestions to help you keep the pieces lined up for a better seam.
- I show you the slip stitch join and the mattress stitch.
This video is part of my awesome new partnership with Red Heart and I am very excited to be able to show you how to crochet one of my own patterns!
Now, you are ready to seam your sweater together. [Read more…]

This sweater was one I crocheted for the magazine, Crochet Today, and is now a pattern that Red Heart posted on their website because they loved it as much as I do 🙂 When I made the Xanadu Crochet Pullover it was the first time that I had ever used Red Heart Boutique Treasures yarn and I thought it was just wonderful! The color changes were spectacular, the feel of it in my hands and on the body was lovely and the price point is one that won't bust the bank!
