What to do with Canary Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn

Canary Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn
Today I would like to share with you some ideas I had about using Canary Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn. Canary yellow is a beautiful, refreshing, bright colour. Here are some suggestions you might find interesting to try out.

Ruffled Cardigan - This incredible piece is knitted in the colours Aquamarine for the main body and Amethyst for the ruffle. How about a combination of Old Lace with Canary as an accent colour?

Lily Jacket in Wine, Oyster and Carnation.

My next suggestion would be the Lily Jacket. Here you will need 3 colours of Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn, the pattern suggestion is: Wine, Carnation and Oyster. How about Old Lace, Oyster and Canary?

If you like wearing yellow, you can make this beautiful summer sun top designed by Susan Crawford. Tropicana was originally designed using knitshop's Mulberry Silk Twist Yarn, however Coquette is a great alternative to making this stunning summer piece.

For the Crocheter amongst our readers we have another great pattern available: the Cassie Camisol Cotton Top. A summery and delightful Camisol to wear on the warmer days of the year.

And last but not least, you can make a Daffodil using the Canary colour. It is a 4ply yarn and therefore suitable for most knitting and crochet patterns available. We have the Daffodil Crochet Pattern available for you as an instant download.

Cassie Camisole Pattern

Susie Johns is one of knitshop.co.uk’s favourite designers, so we’re delighted to be able to offer crochet fans the chance to make one of her prettiest creations, the Cassie Camisol Top. 

This strapy top looks fantastic crocheted in brightly-coloured cotton yarn and looks great paired with jeans. If you’re lucky enough to be going somewhere sunny on holiday, Camisol would be a great staple for your summer wardrobe. Of course, we’re also still holding out hopes of a Great British Summer.

Cassie is crocheted as a single piece using a 3mm crochet hook. The pretty lace design is made using a combination of trebles for the top and a shell pattern for the lower part. The shell pattern created by missing stitches every so often. Our pattern makes it really clear where you need to do so.

You won’t need to do any sewing up at the end, but you will need thirteen 6mm buttons and a length of silky ribbon. This lovely top looks great with either matching ribbon or a contrasting one.

Cassie Camisol is made using only three balls of Susan Crawford's Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn. These cost £4.95 each per 50g ball, meaning Camisol is a really great value make, too.

Coquette is available in thirteen vintage inspired colours from the 1930s to 1950s and comes in 50g balls of approximately 125m each. The 4ply mercerised cotton yarn works best with 3mm to 3.75mm needles or hooks. To chime with the vintage vibe, Coquette is wound in a long bobbin with a center pull, making for tangle-free knitting and crochet projects.

We think Cassie Camisol would look stunning in the more vibrant shades of Coquette such as Carnation, Wine or Flame. Whichever colour you decide on, the yarn will reward you for adding detail by showing it off to great effect.

Although the techniques used to make this beautiful Camisol are straightforward once you’ve mastered them, we don’t recommend this as a first crochet garment project. It’s ideal, though, if you’re looking to take your crochet skills to the next level.

Susie Johns also designed several knitting pattern using knitshop yarns, for example our famous Suger & Spice Ginger T-shirt and Adina using Mulberry Silk Yarn, or an ideal substitution would be the Coquette Vintage Cotton Yarn. The Felted Slippers and Amelia Hat using our felting wool yarn.

Don’t forget we offer regular classes in crochet techniques. See our crochet workshop schedule here.
