@yitaigeng My name is YITAI, and I’m a self-taught fashion designer and this is Day 6 of me showcasing my designs. This is the hand crocheted hoodie I designed Instead of a traditional hoodie, I wanted to reimagine it with different textures and desgins. My intention with this design was to make a basic piece of clothing, a little more interesting and fun. So I think a good hoodie is based around 3 things - design, material, and fitting. I added hand-crocheted granny squares to the hood, the kangaroo pocket, and the hem—giving it more texture and dimension. It's also made from 100% cotton and it's designed in a cropped fit so it sits right at your waist, giving it a more intentional, and elevated shape. #hoodie #fashion #fashiondesign #hoodiedesign #hoodies #yitai #fyp
