Crochet collars

Marc Jacobs showed some wonderful crochet collars in the Fall RTW 2016 collection. I have made an easy one. I found the pattern on Drops Design, www.garnstudio.com. It is a red collar for young girl. As it is a pattern for a childs collar, I added about 50 extra ch. It was really easy and good fun.

Crochet boater

Chanel RTW Fall 2016 has some fabulous hats. I have made my version of them. Since I havn't got my hands on any faux leather to cover the straw boaters, I had to crochet instead.

I bought a straw boater from HM, 

I removed the black band and added some filling instead.

I crocheted the cover, and put on a leather band.

I added the handle (to carry the hat)

the handle I made from a broach and the handle from a make-up bag.

Usually I crochet covers so that you won't see any of the straw-boater. But this time I didn't.
