I settled on using Sugar 'n Creme Yellow (18010) and Summer Splash (19743). I took the earrings with me to the store and I feel confident this should make for a very unique color coordinated dashiki. Can't wait to get started on it!

crochet Dashiki Top Project

I'm excited about starting the Dashiki crochet project. I've been looking at this pattern for some time now. I found it in "Get Your Crochet On, Fly Tops & Funky Flavas" by Afya Ibomu (pg 48).

I went to the store this past Friday (Dot's) and found these hot lime-green earrings. This gave me a kick start inspiration to create the dashiki top in brown, yellow and green to match the earrings. I also picked up a necklace and bangle to go with earrings as a set.

Now, I'm a little discouraged as I try to find the exact color yellow and green I want for my top.
