If you're an avid crocheter, you probably know all about DROPS Design from Garnstudio.  Based out of Norway, with over 100 stores selling their yarns across the world, they have one of the most beautiful assortments of free patterns, crochet and knit alike!  Their website is easy to use with 17 language translations and an easy to use pattern search. I love looking at all of DROPS Design's patterns, but today I am focusing on summer!  When I think of summer, I think of beautiful white flowing and lacy styled garments with a relaxed causal vibe. Some of these patterns are new to 2016 and some you may have seen in the past, but they are all the perfect picture of summer.  Enjoy!

Turn your scarf into a vest!  This is a fun project, using the crochet pineapple design to add a racer back and straps to a scarf.  I came across this idea as I was going through my closet trying to decrease my wardrobe.  I have quite a few scarves that I never wear, and was about to put them into my "donate" pile, when the idea hit me.  So I played around with the design for a day, and this is how it turned out!  I am quite happy with it and can't wait to make more. The best scarves to use are ones that drape and are flimsy.  I crocheted directly through the material of this scarf, I am not sure what it is made of, but it was very easy to poke my crochet hook through it.  And I really hate sewing, so that was a bonus!  However, if you find that you cannot crochet through your type of scarf, you can simply sew the racer back on afterward, no big deal.  Another nice thing about this vest is that it's easy to customize to your size...
