Crochet, you slay: Score a piece of this hippy Gen Z trend

One of the hottest trends today is colorful, retro, and can be made during your free time.  

It makes sense do-it-yourself (DIY) style like knit and crochet skyrocketed in popularity during the pandemic as it enables people to stay creative and productive in quarantine. The clamor for this ‘70s-inspired, Instagram-popular fashion trend gave birth to handcrafted crop tops, bralettes, cardigans, and bucket hats popular among the Gen Z crowd. 

For those who have neither time nor patience to DIY their own crochet piece, we found these local IG stores that sell them.
