Alongside this crochet sun hat, I also designed:
I also took a few of my old favourites with me to top up my summer outfits and add a little handmade flair to my trip including my staple granny square bag, my All Meshed Up T-shirt and my Cold Shoulder Cardigan- all designed in 2021, when I was simply dreaming of getting away on a holiday.
