Every January for the past 5 years, I’ve watched fashion predictions for the upcoming year. Why? Because I’m convinced I’ll use this information to push my small business forward and to inspire what I make the rest of the year. Sometimes I even end up making something inspired by the list.
This year’s crochet trend prediction is ~filet crochet~ so I wanted to throwback to these pictures and this mesh mini dress I made in 2022. I really wanted to test how many ways I could do hearts in this dress, before I even knew designs in crochet mesh is considered filet crochet. The inspiration to make the hurt cutout in the back came after I completed a skull lace shawl.
