Crochet is not the same as knitting. Often faster to complete, the resulting fabric of lacier projects is lightweight with a beautiful drape. We have heard from the Manos del Uruguay fans about their love of using Manos yarns in crochet projects. Today we put the spotlight on crochet patterns and projects.

Independent Designer Crochet Patterns
The Montevideo Poncho in Milo has the versatility to be a form-fitting dress or a casual poncho. Bonus! This pattern is free to download.
The Infinity Crochet Whirl Slouchy is a fun, innovative hat worked flat in Valley Superwash DK hand-dyed by Manos del Uruguay.
Fan Crochet Projects
This Lost in Time Shawl is a shop sample for Yarnia in Montclair, NJ, crocheted by haleybun in Alegria. Roserona paired the Drops Fall Festival pattern with Silk Blend for a stunning lace jacket. Fino Mini-Skeins offer plenty of color play opportunities, as tammysmom’s Treble Fantasy shawl shows.
We encourage you to pick up a crochet hook and your favorite Manos del Uruguay yarn. When you do, share them with our Facebook page, Ravelry group, and Instagram channel.
