Muriel
Muriel’s jacket is colorful and relaxed — a versatile wardrobe staple. The large pockets carry your snacks and all your important thoughts, and the jacket stands up to both the city’s rush and spontaneous adventures.

Avery
Avery’s outfit is like the most popular aerobic set of its time —colorful, cool, and ready for every high-knee move. The T-shirt and shorts also work perfectly on their own, making a versatile combo with other activewear pieces. The raglan-sleeved T-shirt is worked from the top down using double crochets, starting with the neckline ribbing. The shorts are worked from the top down with double crochets.
Yarn: Matti Yarns, Whisper Super Fine.
Bonnie
Bonnie is a master of practicality. The natural white sweater works as both a layer of warmth and a style statement. The removable neck warmer and thick ribbing make it ideal for layering. The sweater is crocheted using a brioche-inspired, technique the raglan yoke shapes the garment beautifully, the body is worked straight down to the hem edge and the sleeves are tapered for fit.
Yarn: Nakyangyarn, I’m Wool 4.
Blanche
Blanche’s yellow top glows in the sun. Its lightweight construction and lowered armholes make it a lifesaver on hot days, while the cotton breathes like a summer breeze. The blue front pockets are like two little pieces of summer sky, perfect for hiding playing cards or seashells.
Yarn: Matti Yarns, Whisper Super Fine.
Bennett
The beige yet colorful Bennett cardigan blends a classic “grandpa” style with bold pops of color. The buttons are like tiny acts of rebellion, the raglan sleeves fall naturally, and the button placket is anything but neutral. This cardigan keeps you warm while on the move.
Yarn: Istex, Spuni.
Dorothy
Dorothy moves swiftly across the tennis court in her crocheted vest, which flutters like a bouquet in the wind. In this vest, you can both sit back and let loose on the court — it’s the perfect blend of relaxation and motion. This lightweight yet warm vest is crocheted from squares and assembled by seaming the squares together.
Yarn: Drops, Flora.
Dottie
Dottie’s skirt has stripes like the umbrellas at a seaside café. The crocheted waistband fits snugly while leaving room for ice cream and other possibilities.

The striped skirt is worked in one piece from the bottom edge of the waistband down to the hem. The waistband is finished with an elastic for a flexible fit.
Yarn: Matti Yarns, Whisper Super Fine.
Elwood
Elwood is an urban wanderer, drifting from flea markets to cafés and sometimes disappearing into the park for hours. The long, striped scarf is always with him – it can be wrapped around the neck as a cozy nest or draped casually over the shoulder like an artist’s cape. The scarf is over two meters (almost 100 inches) long but surprisingly lightweight, as it’s crocheted with airy mohair yarn.
Yarn: Filcolana Tilia.
Gladys
Gladys radiates warmth — being around her feels like wrapping yourself in your favorite blanket. Her striped sweater is crocheted from fluffy yarn, blending the colors into a gentle, harmonious landscape. The silhouette is relaxed and boxy, with wide batwing sleeves. Ribbed cuffs and hem give the sweater a gently fitted finish.
Yarn: Fonty, Ombelle.
Gloria
Gloria carries everything you need: the day’s bananas, library books, and lipstick in all the shades of autumn. The brown-and-cream pattern is a quiet power move, while the leather straps are both stylish and practical.
Yarn: Suomen Lanka, Liina 18-ply crochet thread.

Mavis
Mavis starts her day with dance and ends it with yoga — or a bouncing squash ball, depending on her mood.

The shorts are crocheted from the top down using the same yarn duo.
Yarn: Rosários4, Real Merino & Rosários4, Aurora.
Norma
Norma’s brown wool cardigan and perfectly fitted pencil skirt scream 1950s, but the neon-green pocket trim shows this isn’t any old home economics hand-me-down. The wool ensemble is both controlled and playful. The cardigan is worked flat from the top down, with raglan sleeves shaped through yoke increases. The skirt is worked flat in one piece from the top down, starting with the waistband.
Yarn: Nakyangyarn I’m Wool & Rosarios4, Amalia.
Phillip & Parker
