I actually wear my crocheted clothes @ work.

Pink @ work

This pink crocheted top is made from two strands of monaco crochet thread.

Take a closer look at the motifs used for the blouse:

Closer Look

This blouse used to be one of my favorites. I just have to wear it on top of a spaghetti strap and i’m off to go.

It’s actually the second blouse I was able to make during my first sem at graduate school :) . I used 2 balls of ecru, 1 ball of pink, 1 ball of dark pink and 1 ball of variegated monaco yarns :)

I also wear them when i go out with my friends :)

Me and My Barkada

They are durable enough to withstand multiple washings (in washing machine, mind you.)

Sometimes it’s fun to have all your girl friends wear your creations. and know that they actually like them :)

Beauties and the Beast

And so that at the end of the day. You always have fun even after sore fingers. :D

This is a short-sleeved hooded bolero in deep red cotton yarn accented with mohair yarn around the borders of the hood.

Stitches are the same as what is used in the winter solace bolero.

Winter Solace Bolero – Pattern and Instructions

Description of the Project

A cool blend of turquiose and white hues that will remind you of the coming holiday season. This practical project uses up a simple combination of double-crochet and chain stitches adorned with fluffy plush yarn. I used just a 100g ball of Indonesian Cotton Thread. You could actually substitute any locally available crochet thread and just adjust the gauge. Luckily for us, the soft plush turquiose yarn used for the borders of the clothing is available locally. I got this one from Bodega sa Rosario, Pasig.

The bolero is made up of 5 parts, crocheted individually. 2 sleeves, 2 front parts and the back part. I sewed them together using left over crochet thread. Then I added the border. The border’s just plain dc. I used automatic locks to close the front part. And attached two medium sized white textured buttons in front to accentuate.

Finished product:
