Crochet as a fashion trend?
Crocheted garments have definitely hit the fashion runaway and are now available for purchase as fashionable trends in your local shopping centers. It is definitely not just something that grandmas do all day. It is more than just a mere past-time hobby. You can sell your production as the latest fashion accessory and not feel limited to the social image of crochet being just about grandma’s doilies.
Also, crocheting is very popular for designing dolls clothes. There are many types of crocheted dresses available for dolls that are sold all around the world. People can make requests and have them custom designed or even buy or download the patterns online.

Crocheting can be very rewarding especially during the Christmas Season. You can make personalized gifts for someone whom you care for. You can make a trendy scarf or a hat that is unique and represents him/her. Last year Krishi made me a scarf identical to the one in her pictures. I got compliments from a lot of my friends and colleagues. It all depends on how you dress it up. Scarf is an excellent accessory.
You can also make traditional ornaments for your Christmas Tree and Windows or even a table runner.

Hi Murphy (m&m),
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I agree, you can dress up a crocheted garment in any way you want to fit your clothing style. I find that a lot of people crochet for their friends and family during the Christmas Season because it is one of the best ways to personalize and budget your gift items.
