Picture this: a classic-style crocheted shirt made entirely from hexagons, pentagons, and half-hexagons. Sounds simple, right? Wrong! This seemingly straightforward project turned into a month-long marathon. But let me clarify, it’s not because I crochet at a sloth’s pace; it’s because fitting all these geometric shapes into one lace piece of fashion took some serious brainpower.
The result of this grand crochet experiment? A modern, stylish, and enchanting shirt that’s perfect for any occasion. The lacy patterns of this garment add a touch of femininity to your overall look.
