It's been a very busy crafty week for me this week, just the way I like it, I'm only hoping that no one decides to visit because my house is looking a bit like a work shop with bits of wool trailing all the way upstairs lol. I have managed to finish one of the projects Iv'e had on the go for a while now, I could have finished it ages ago but as usual I was doing other crafty things along side it.
This is another lovely pattern from the book Little crochet by Linda Perman. I love the concept of combining crochet with knitting and sewing, that's whats great about crochet it's so versatile and can be added to all kinds of things.
Ta daa here it is, It's called Strawberry patch party frock in the book.
Close up of the granny square bodice, tiny granny squares joined as you go.
Making all those little squares for the bodice is a bit time consuming but I was in no hurry to finish this so just made a few when I had the time. I love the way this little dress has turned out, I have tweaked the pattern a little because I used a different yarn to that in the pattern and the tension was different but the wonderful thing about the patterns in this book is all the measurements are there for you so it's easy to use different yarns and adapt the number of stitches to get the correct size.

This is just super cute! I read mention of it over on helencrochet1 so had to come over for a peek ;)
ReplyDeleteI can knit and I can crochet, but not sewing beyond any basic necessity. i.e. machining is out, ;)
It's so lovely to hop from one great blog to another, but bOy do I lose hours that way, haha.
