This fun-to-crochet popover top is designed to be worn over a lightweight garment. It boasts directional, easy hand-weaving over most of the front and back. It is seamed at the shoulders and edged. We used 3 vintage shell buttons to close the tabard at each side (seamed only at shoulders). Use two different, hefty yarns, with the weaving strand...

This simple hat with its brilliant colors memorializes the ancient town of LaHaina in Maui.

Blocking is very important, step by step. Don’t try to save time.
