Sophisticated Oversized
Oversized crochet pieces are a must-have for the colder months. Think big, chunky sweaters and cardigans that you can layer over any outfit.

Mob Wife Aesthetic
Channel your inner mob wife with faux fur details. Adding a touch of faux fur to your crochet projects can elevate them to new levels of glam. Think collars, cuffs, and trims that give your pieces a luxurious, cozy feel. The 'mob wife' aesthetic draws inspiration from the opulent and bold styles often depicted in movies and TV shows and icons like Sharon Stone in Casino and Drea De Matteo in The Sopranos or Sofia Vergara in Griselda. It's all about embracing extravagant, statement-making fashion that exudes confidence and power. Use faux fur yarn or attach faux fur trim to your finished pieces for that glamorous touch.

Bright Color Tights and Socks
Bright color tights and socks, inspired by the 80s, are back in a big way. Have fun with neon colors and bold patterns to create eye-catching legwear. They're a great way to add a pop of color to any outfit and keep your feet warm. The 80s were all about self-expression and standing out, and these vibrant accessories capture that spirit perfectly. Use lightweight, stretchy yarn and simple stitches for comfort and durability. You can even mix and match colors to create your own unique designs.
