One of my friends was born and raised in Georgia. She doesn’t have a trace of an accent, but you can tell that she came from the South based on her impeccable manners, love of sweet tea, and obsession with Carrie Underwood. As if that isn’t enough proof of her roots, she has another tell: her style. She reveals her inner cowgirl through fashion, favoring earth tone clothing and accessories that are comfortable, cute, and long-lasting. I’ve rounded up some free crochet patterns that were inspired by the sunny states to the south.
