Who said that wearable crochet is just for the ladies?
The Verano is a personal gift to myself, and my homage to the overall, which was super popular in men´s urban fashion circa early 1990s. I tried to make a simple design that a dude could rock and have fun with. The Verano, which is actually a shortall (not a pair of overalls), is meant to be worn in the summer, and is perfect for lounging around, walking on the beach, or cruising the city pavement with eclectic style.
The bulk of this project was done in 100% cotton, Peaches & Creme (color: Ecru). The strips of variegated color are acrylic, Red Heart Super Saver (color: Earth and Sky).
very nice, and seems to be very comfortable.
