more use of the Romantic Lacy Shawl crochet pattern

My last post, I posted the crochet pattern I found on Red Heart with Love packing label.  The pattern was designed and created for a shawl.  But I used it as a window curtains.  The pattern is so simple and a breeze to work with that I also incorporated it on this crochet crop top, or halter top as they are called.

I am so glad I found uses for this yarn that I purchased at the Dollar Tree and more surprisingly, I actually like the smoothness of this yarn.  So it's staying on my list for now.

I really love this easy crochet pattern

The only modification I've done to this crochet pattern is adding a row of single crochet  and a row of treble crochet, so I could weave in my curtain rod.

Crochet cover up beach wear

Here is my other ensemble for my weekend getaway.  A crochet cover up, beach wear baby.

It began simply like this.  But I decided to add a border trim around the bust area and I am satisfied.

Crochet Bikini Bottom

I had in my mind for the longest and I finally executed it.  I love the outcome.  

Crochet bikini bottoms.

These two piece crochet bikini is made out of acrylic yarn by Red Heart.  It is called mirage.  I love the shades of beach blue and sand.  Will go perfectly with short jeans. Now I'm ready for Tybee Island.
