DIY Pink Crochet Jacket – NYFW FW2024

If you’re not new to Befitting Style, then you know this is not my first crochet jacket. The other colors look so good that I had to create a pink crochet jacket! As a pink lover, I’m surprised I didn’t do it sooner but here we are. I crocheted this jacket 5 years ago and didn’t think of wearing it anytime soon but I knew whenever I do decide to wear it, the full look would be incredible. What else do I wear in the middle of winter when heading…

DIY Crochet Jacket – Brown

I’ve been creating Crochet Jackets for a few years. It started off as a design that I challenged myself to create because, to my knowledge, these crochet jackets only existed in my brain. Over the years, I’ve created this crochet jacket in several colors. Although I started creating these jackets a few years ago, it’s always fun to work on a new color. My auburn box braids inspired me to create a brown one. Crocheting is my favorite pastime. Once I begin creating, I have to see it through. Finishing it becomes so…

My 20s Were Ghetto and Fabulous

As I reflect on this year, let’s reflect on my 20s really quickly since I basically exited that decade this year.

My twenties came with a lot of ups and downs/some…

A Crochet Bikini Turned Crop Top

Does this count as a crop top? I began crocheting this pink bikini top before spring and I learned that bikinis should be made from softer yarns. The yarn was so thick that I was discouraged to finish the bikini. I messed up but like many of my DIY projects, there’s always a lesson learned from it. Because I love the style of this bikini, I’ll definitely recreate it with the proper yarn so in the meantime, I’m wearing this bikini as a regular top (although it’s technically not finished).…

DIY Grey Crochet Jacket – Outerwear

I’m not exactly sure if I should call this crochet item a jacket, a sweater or a coat but nothing gets me more excited about style than DIY projects. I’ve known how to sew for as long as I can remember and learned to crochet at the age of 12. I find that I appreciate the items that I create much more than the items that I buy in stores. I wish I knew how to write an understandable pattern so I can help others to create but I did…
