California Spring

Scar

f

Spring in Southern California is typically

a beautifull sunny day; 70 degrees (f). Not a

cloud in the sky, but that can change in just

a few hours so a girl should be prepared with

an accessory that frames the face but is cool

on the neck. This is it! Crochet it in a Bamboo

blend and you will love the way the sun light

reflects on the texture. Most importantly, since

spring is already here, no one wants to spend

the day indoors. This project can be whipped

up in 2 hours and you will be on your way

to fun in style!
