Prairie Lily Knitting

Well, I did it… I bought not one, but TWO patterns thinking they were knitting patterns because they were on sale.
After printing them out, I went looking for the yarn and needle information and suddenly realized they’re both crochet patterns! Since I don’t normally crochet, my first reaction was a bit of panic.

But the more I looked at them, the more determined I became. With a little encouragement and help from my friend TL, I’m going to give them a proper try. The funny thing is that the fabric in both patterns looks so much like knitting that I completely missed the fact they were crochet.

The two patterns are the Mint Leaf Top and the Linen Leaf Top, by Lena Fedorova and I really love them. I recently finished the Perfect Tee in crochet and was pleasantly surprised with how well it turned out, so I’m feeling brave enough to tackle these next.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s done this! Have you ever bought a pattern thinking it was knit, only to discover it was crochet? I’d love to hear your crochet/knit mix-up stories!
