365 Crochet

I've been spending the past few days researching for an upcoming article, and came across the Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2016, Ready to Wear fashion runway show.  So.... sidetracked now from my original article, I have to stop and share this show with you! While I'm not the biggest fan of Tommy Hilfiger's work, this show stopped me dead in my tracks, because I loved it, and of course, you've guessed it: crochet is involved!  And when I say "involved", I mean it takes over a large portion of the show! The amount of crochet work that went into the pieces shown on the runway is astounding!  I can't help but think, "Who made this?!" and "How long did it take?!"  Maybe I don't want to know the answer.... but the great part is, YOU CAN MAKE THESE YOURSELF, or most of them anyway. I would say if you have a lot of experience and have the concept of making your own patterns, some of these should be no problem to free-style.  (though they may...

This pattern is so simple, yet has the perfect shaping.  I was hoping to come across something so easy, I don't have much time to write my own patterns now, and alas, here it is.  Although the pattern and web page is in Italian, you can easily translate the page and the instructions are fairly easy to follow.  Keep in mind that: pb - low point (is a single crochet stitch) and mpa - half a point higher (is a half double crochet stitch).
