Ami-Ana - Funky and Original Crochet Fashion & Design

Ami-Ana comes from a love of fashion and something of an obsession for crochet! Originally taught to crochet by my darling hubby's Grandma - One lesson from Grandma and several patterns later I am now designing and making almost all my own creations or else tweaking patterns that take my fancy and making them my own. I am based in New Zealand but getting around! And like to think of my fashions as classy, elegant, funky and original.

Crochet Crafty Tip
Practise, practise, practise! - learn all the stitches there are to learn and practise them by having a go at as many different patterns as you can. By doing this you will subconsciously be familiarising yourself with all of them so that in the not too distant future you will be able to simply look at a picture of something and tell/know how it was made - THEN very soon you will be able to manipulate those stitches that you know so well to make your very own stunning patterns/designs! (that's what I did anyway....)
 
 
Mel's Bells Cloche Hats

Cloche hats and beanies handmade from luxury natural fiber yarns. Hats range in size from 0 to 3 Months all the way to Adult. FREE Shipping in the USA!

Crochet Crafty Tip
I suggest starting with high quality materials which will ensure a better end result. For example, natural fiber yarns generally are of better quality and more comfortable to wear than those containing acrylic and other man-made materials. The finished product also looks more "expensive" and not so cheap. It is true that superior materials are more pricey but in the end it's worth it and your customers will appreciate it.
 
Bitter o'Clock

Fun and funky crochet hats ranging in styles from pretty flapper hats to silly animal hats.

Crochet Crafty Tip
Despite what many crochet patterns say, only chain 2 (instead of 3) at the beginning of each hat round when working with double crochet. It makes the seam blend in better.
