Fashion Fridays ~ 6/5/09 ~

[ New to the blog, "Fashion Fridays"! A weekly series of great crochet fashion finds around the web or other places. ]



It's great to see little items like this in the marketplace, makes me feel a little easier wearing my own creations too. Although I do think the "handmade" aspect makes things a whole lot more special! :)



Cali Girl Crochet Trim Tank Top
Grecian inspired crochet tanks are a new trend this season! The crochet detail creates a flattering neckline and the loose cotton fabric cascades your tummy.

Cable hat with brim, Side
Originally uploaded by brittscrochetcorner

This was a weekend project that was super fun to make.
A cable hat made in hdc and dc with f hook using Patton's Grace 100% cotton yarn, white, blue and tan.
It reminded me of the beach and the waves crashing down on it so I aptly named it the Sand and Surf hat. I have plans to find some "beachy" accents to add to the band just above the brim such as shells, starfish, sandollar etc.
