Bobble Kerchief -free crochet pattern-

Image
Pattern Paradise always has the most beautiful photos!  Besides being a great photo, this pattern for a crochet hair kerchief is absolutely lovely!  I agree with the designer that these were popular in our youth, and I do also see a comeback being made with these.  They are cute, easy to make, and work up fast!  I love they they can hide a bad hair day!

Granny Square Tunic Top -free crochet pattern-

Image
Granny squares are fun and can be used in so many different ways, like this pretty tank styled crochet tunic top!  A great aspect of this pattern is that, even though worsted weight yarn was used, you can easily implement your own yarn weight and adjust the size.  Of course a light weight yarn would require more work, however, would be more suitable for summer.  I would love to give this one a try! This is a Ravelry download.
