Okay, hear me out. Grandma’s crochet game is :fire::fire::fire: these days. Anyone else noticing how those cozy, colorful sweaters are popping up in streetwear fits? :thinking: Is this the new wave, or am I just late to the granny-core party?

Absolutely! Crochet is low-key iconic now. It’s like every runway show has a nod to it. Plus, it’s eco-friendly af since you can literally recycle yarn. :herb::recycling_symbol:

Y’all remember when crochet was just for tea-time with nan? Now it’s ‘drip or drown’ material. :joy::rocket:

Went to a thrift store the other day, and legit all the cool crochet stuff was sold out. Definitely a vibe shift happening. :+1:t4::yarn:

It’s like the perfect blend of nostalgia and modernity. I get major '70s feels but with a Gen Z twist. Also, DIY TikToks are killing it with crochet tutorials. Check it out if you haven’t yet! :thread:

Real talk, I wore a crochet top to a gaming convention, and I got more compliments than ever. Gamers appreciate a good fit too. :joy:

The sustainable angle can’t be overlooked. Fast fashion is getting roasted, and crochet fits right into the slow fashion ethos. Plus, supporting local artists is a win-win. :raising_hands:

Fun fact: My grandma has an IG page for her crochet pieces and she’s got like 10k followers. She’s a legit influencer in the knitting community. :flexed_biceps::old_woman:

Funny how culture cycles, right? From granny’s closet to Gucci collabs. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a major celeb rocking crochet at the next Met Gala. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Korean idols have been ahead of this trend for a minute. If you follow K-fashion, crochet is a staple. :glowing_star:

Crochet is just pixel art IRL if you think about it. It’s all about pattern and color. :winking_face_with_tongue:

I’m here for the crochet + sneaker combo. It’s like tactical softness. Keeps the look balanced. :joy::running_shoe:

Not all crochet is created equal. Some of it can be itchy or ill-fitting. Make sure to cop quality or grandma-made. Trust. :magnifying_glass_tilted_left::coat:

I’m starting a crochet club at my uni. We’re gonna swap patterns and make the coolest yarn art. Anyone done this? :artist_palette:

I thrifted a crochet bucket hat and haven’t taken it off in weeks. Can’t believe it took me this long to hop on. :billed_cap::sparkles:

Honestly, seeing everyone in crochet makes me wanna learn. Feels like a wholesome hobby with killer fashion potential. :thread::light_bulb:

Let’s not forget Crocs in this convo. Pair those with a crochet sweater, and you’re untouchable. Comfort and chaos. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::thong_sandal:
