French Crochet

Hi friends,

Today I made a French braid to one side, then added a finger-crochet accent.  This look is so easy to create!  I learned it from my braid book by Raychel Potter.  You basically make a loop, then pin it in place where the loops overlaps itself.  The loop becomes your "hat," and you reach inside the hat and pull your strand of hair through (your "rabbit" pulled from your "hat").  You keep repeating the pull-through steps until you've finished crocheting as much as you need for your accent.

4-piece French braid with chain accents~ my look for today

Hi everybody,

Today I tried a trendy 4-piece side French braid, with two finger-crochet braids added as accents.  I love the "chain" look they have to them~ they seem complicated but are actually quite easy :-)

Fun with Finger Crochet

My braid book came in the mail!  It is amazing~ soooo many beautiful braids and updo's, I have never seen such gorgeous hairstyles and such detailed instructions!  The book's title is "A Different Approach to Hairbraiding" and it was written by Raychel Potter. I got it on Amazon, and she has other books available, too!

My first attemps with finger crochet as accents to a low bun~ the first two are with a flash, but the rest of the pictures were taken without a flash:
