365 Crochet

I am currently writing a book, and it includes the Tree of Life. So this is a tiny part of the big picture.  I found it so fun to make (and easy!) that I want to share it with you today.  There are several things you could do with this, for example: you can make it the center of a mandala, turn it into a square and work it into any garment, or even crochet it over a hoop to make earrings etc. There's no limits to which yarn and hook you can use, it will just make it larger or smaller.

Simplicity at its finest! This is the perfect example of basic crochet stitches making a big impact.

I love this idea, and well, I'd make these for myself!  The plan is to use adult sized t-shirts with crochet edging to create cute kids' dresses, but I think an oversized shirt for the adult version would work just fine as well!  I really like this tutorial, and these girls look like they love their new dresses!

This cute skirt is versatile and fun!  The designer has included written instructions along with instructions on how to set the colors so that the dye in the cotton doesn't run.  You could use any color combination that you wish, or even go all one color; this crochet skirt would still look great!  You can also easily adjust the size and length, I love this project!
