I have been in what many people call a “Crochet Rut”. It seems like every time I have felt this way…. I am actually just waiting for the right inspiration to boost me back into the hook of things. After weeks.. maybe even months of waiting for that right idea to pop into my head, I remembered one of the things I wrote on my invisible “to crochet” list- a crochet Hawaiian Lei!
The reason this was one of the first things on my list is because I have made them before, just out of fabric cut outs of flowers and fake flowers I found at yard sales. I even made a giant one that my MIL still uses as a decoration around her Hawaiian themed bathroom.
I loved the fabric ones, but the fabric flowers were so thin, it didn't give me the look I had pictured.
When learning how to crochet, flowers were the second thing I taught myself how to do (ear flap hats being the first). So, naturally I thought of the Hawaiian Lei instantly.
I now know why I was in the rut… I needed to back up about 2 years on that invisible list I keep! 😉
This Hawaiian Lei has many possibilities. Have fun with your yarn choices. Dig through your stash and get creative!
