Micro Crochet Anklet Inspired by the Early Autumn in the Summer Sun

The weather recently has been so confusing, the heat brought stress to the trees and plants, showing early autumn at the height of summer. Though I felt a little weird, I found it pretty interesting.

This morning, I went outside, and it looked like autumn under the summer sun. It was an unusual occurrence, and I probably won’t see it for a long time.

I collected a few leaves of assorted colours that fell from the cherry tree and inspired to create something out of these autumn-yet-summery colours.

I matched the colours with the sewing threads I had available.

I decided to try making an anklet using the smallest crochet hook I have, 60 mm.

I planned to use micro crochet. Though it is harder and longer than normal, I like the fine result; it is very intricate and light, plus the sewing threads are less likely to wear off.

With no plan of design in mind, I just let it happen.
I first made a base, using cream to chain around my ankle. Then I single-crocheted all the way through.

I made a picot using lemon yellow.

Then another line of picots with burnt orange.

I added single crochet with dusky pink

Then another layer with burgundy red.

I finished it with green.

I secured the end with a knot and left some threads to naturally frill. I added a clasp.

I love how the summer and autumn colours blend together.

It was light on my ankle and fit well. It felt good wearing my new anklet while I was grounding today.

Have a lovely day, everyone,
