DIY crochet triangle patch pattern tutorial


Today I have a special guest on my blog, Marina from aBanchOfFashion.
I met Marina on Etsy and we decided to collaborate on this great DIY tutorial.

Here it is:

Lace fashion is a hot trend lately and I'm sure all the crochet people out there are really happy about this!
One day I was looking at ma favourite blue leggins and I though: "Oh my...they're already old looking!"
This is how I came up with the idea of placing on the knees a cute crochet patch, to make them new and trendy again.
You could also use these triangle patches for your denim jacket's elbows or whatever else you can come up it!
With these crochet patches you will be original, boho and romantic for summer.
Enjoy!





























the final result

Marina: 
"When I finished the University one year ago I found myself with a master degree in History of Art and without a job.
It was winter. I needed a warm wool scarf, but didn't have the money to buy it.
One day when i was walking in town I saw a shop that had some discounted 100% wool yarn. "That's it!!", I though, "if I can't buy a scarf, I'll make it on my own!!"
I took the yarn and a pair of needles, but there was a tiny problem: I didn't know how to knit!!!
So I checked on the Internet!!
A brand new shiny universe opened before me! "
