Colors that Pop
Break
away from traditional pale crochet! When you spend hours crocheting a
garment, you want it to get noticed. So next time you stop at your
local yarn shop, head for the bright colors. Choose a bright shade of
green or combine several vivid shades and really draw attention to your
crochet.
