365 Crochet

I don't know how I missed this last year, but I am definitely loving it right now!  This amazing shawl uses the diagonal raised stitch to create this really cool chevron arrow effect. The fringes work perfectly for this design as well!

For something so simple, I've taken a liking to this cute crochet hip cozy. It's like a mini skirt that simply wraps around your hips with a button closure. I think this would look really cute over tights. You could also even wear it as a cowl or cape! The pattern writing is a bit quirky, but by doing a quick read through first, you will easily get an idea for what's going on.
