Crochet shell curtains

We have a nice big window in our bathroom. Unfortunately, it looks out onto a blind wall.


Adding curtains or blinds would take the light away, but having it bare didn't feel very cosy. Our local DIY business offered some cheap easy cut & paste frosted film, but this too, seemed to take away quite a bit of light, so we only applied it to the bottom half of the window. For the top half, it was crochet to the rescue ;-)


Using a fishnet like stitch, I crocheted 3 panels, to mimic, you guessed it, fish nets. They can be moved out of the way individually, allowing to maximise the amount of light entering the room. To finish it off, we attached sea shells (carefully collected when I was a child and subsequently forgotten in a box somewhere) to the bottom edge. Window makeover, nautical style...
