Obikels Creations, Saving The Best for Last: The Mkpúrú Nma set

By Odunayo Ayo Ojo

Obikels Creations has once again proven her exceptional creativity with her latest crochet design, Mkpúrú Nma, a stunning two-piece set that effortlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style. This design has quickly become my favorite among Obikels’ 2024 collection, and it’s easy to see why.

The Mkpúrú Nma set features a long-sleeved blouse paired with a perfectly fitted crochet short. The intricate crochet pattern on the blouse is absolutely captivating—delicate, yet bold enough to command attention. The interplay of open weaves and tighter stitches creates a rhythm that is visually stunning, drawing the eye to its textured beauty. The soft flow of the yarn gives it a graceful movement, while the fitted short offers a more structured balance, creating a modern yet timeless silhouette.

What’s truly remarkable about this design is how adaptable it is. While the blouse and short combination is gorgeous as it stands, I can’t help but imagine how this pattern would translate onto trousers. A crochet design of this nature could elevate a pair of wide-leg trousers, offering a fresh, new interpretation of the set. Additionally, I think the blouse would be equally beautiful in a short-sleeve version, ideal for warmer weather or as a versatile layering piece. The design has a flexibility that could fit seamlessly into different seasons and styling preferences.

Obikels Creations continues to surpass herself with each new collection, and Mkpúrú Nma is no exception. This piece not only showcases her exceptional skill in crochet artistry but also demonstrates her keen understanding of modern fashion trends. It is a perfect representation of how creativity and craftsmanship can come together to create something that is both timeless and contemporary, making Obikels one of the most exciting designers of 2024.
