Summer in orange: handcrafted crochet pieces
Orange is a good summer color. It looks warm against a tan, stands out in photos, and goes with denim, white and green. Here are the pieces in our shop that use it, how to wear them, and how to get orange in any piece you like.
Everything below is crocheted by hand in Izmir, Turkey, by one maker, after you order.
Shirts with orange in them
The green and orange crochet shirt mixes green and orange squares and is made for the beach and festival season. The patchwork summer shirt joins yellow, blue, green and orange squares into a relaxed, airy fit.
Both cost $170. Because a person makes every square, each shirt comes out a little different from the next.
A full orange outfit
For a head-to-toe look, the Bella crochet outfit is a bright orange top with matching flare trousers, for $220. It works for festivals and summer parties, and for King's Day in the Netherlands, when the whole country wears orange.
You can also wear the two pieces apart: the top with white jeans, the trousers with a plain white t-shirt.
How to wear orange
Pair it with white or cream for a clean look, with denim for an easy one, or with green and blue if you want more color. Tan leather sandals and a straw bag suit it well.
If you are unsure, start with a shirt where orange is one color among several, rather than a full orange outfit.
Your own colors
Any piece can be made in other colors. Write the colors you want in the checkout note, or open the design studio, pick a garment and yarn colors, and see three designs before you order.
Shipping is free worldwide. If you need a piece for a date, such as a festival or King's Day, allow about three weeks: 2 to 8 days to make it, shipping within 7 business days, then about 5 days to Europe or 10 to the US.
