A lovely piece of decoration found in a store front window @ Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.

The Swedish official Olympics hat has made remarkable success. Swedes of all ages are now frantically crocheting a thick cap of blue, yellow, white and black. Crochet tips are highly demanded as hat spread like wildfire on a growing number of heads. The pattern of the hottest trend accessory right here right now comes from the yarn shop Trassel (link to crochet pattern).

I really like the thought of Swedes sitting in their sofas crocheting like mad right now. And as for olympics hats, I fancy the Swedish Olympics hat of ’94 as well. Little did our athletes know their style would stand the times. Pernilla Wiberg in Norwegian Lillehammer:
