According to The Daily, of Ball State University, lace and crochet summer fashions are going to be hot this year. "With crochet you can bare some skin, without putting it all out there." A large crochet shirt can make you feel covered, while still giving you that lightweight feel. And according to the Craft Yarn Council, 76% of crocheters find a project they like before going out and buying the yarn needed.
How cute are these bags for the summer!!! I adore the Moogly pattern on the right!!!

Turn and *sl to ch2, ch3,2dc, ch2,3dc. *Turn and repeat * repeat everything in this step 3 more times. Cut thread and weave in ends at the ends of the sides. Bottom of the cross When you get to the last side repeat the * section 2 more times for a total of 4 shells for the bottom and 2 shells for the sides not including the center. On the top of the cross attach yarn and chain 26, skip the first 5 and sl to the first chain. Then I added a tassel.
