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!

I need a new belt, maybe I will make this one!  I have a lot of crochet thread scraps that I could use to give it a cool color combination!  The designer used two strands of crochet thread to achieve the firmness of this belt, but you could most likely use any yarn.  I do like the idea of the thread though, it has a different feel.  I can't wait to get some down time to try this out!

I find a lot of the time when I'm designing something with a special feature (such as the pineapple), that it inspires me to create another pattern using the same feature.  My recent Pineapple Up Barefoot Sandals pattern along with another hair kerchief pattern (that I have yet to write up) are the inspiration for this pattern.  This is a great accessory for the summer, and it is a fun item to make!

The pattern begins from the top of the headband and works it's way down in rows.  It is worked in one piece, back and forth; because in the end, you will attach two 30 mm buttons to close it up.  You don't need to make any buttons holes, because Rows 2 and 6 (X-Stitich Rows) have enough gap, that the buttons will fit through, therefore, allowing you to adjust the size of your headband.   From the last row of the headband, you continue on with the ribbed visor.  You work back in forth in short rows along the headband edge, increasing stitches ...
