Blooming Flower Crochet Sundress

Hello everyone!

Wish you all a very good morning. It's is a beautiful day :-)

 

Blooming Flower Crochet Sundress completed right in time

Last month, I shared with you my WIP: a Crochet Sundress. I finally finished it right in time (it's still cold though, Tia, my princess, will have to wait for some more time). I took a little longer to finish the dress as I don't have a sewing machine and I had to hand sew it.

As in my previous post, I promised that I'll share the pattern, so, here it is:

Measurements:

• Chest: 13"
• Waist: 13"
• Full length: 26"
• Skirt: 13" (+ 1" for the frill)

Front Bodice

Neck & arm band

Button Band

I've discussed about the design and stitch in my previous post. You can refer to that for the sizing, yarn I used, hook, etc. It should fit a 5-6 years old girl. I made it for my daughter who is 5 years old. This is all about the crocheted part. Regarding the fabric part, I can give you an idea...

For the skirt, I used two layers: fabric & net (L-14" x B-45"). Sew the fabric and the net and attach to the crocheted bodice.

There may be a few mistakes, please let me know if you come across. I'll try to rectify and get back to you with the corrections. I've never written any pattern ... this is all I've noted down while creating the dress. Most of my friends keep asking me for patterns and I could never give them any...this one's for all of you.

I have not written the pattern for the flowers and the beads yet.....will post the pattern as soon as I finish writing it.
Hope you all like it....keep coming back and leave me a message. I'll be posting a lot of patterns.

Be happy and keep crocheting,
Aman

Crochet Sundress (work in progress)

Hello everyone!

Hope all of you are having a lovely week... Mine is turning out to be a very fruitful one :-)

Mornings are very hectic for me, specially the weekdays...I think it's same with all of you.

Presently, I'm working on a lovely crochet project: a sundress for my five years old daughter. It's half crocheted and half fabric (not good at sewing though). I always make a sketch of the pattern and ideas I have in mind....makes your job much easier.

 

As I don't have a sewing machine, I'm hand sewing the dress - fabric skirt with the crochet bodice (taking longer time than usual). Hopefully, by next week the sundress should be ready to wear.

I'll try to come up with the pattern to share with you all but as of now check out the crochet stitch I used for the bodice. I modified it a little bit from the original stitch.

Some of the materials I used for the dress...

 These buttons look so cute...

I used 4-ply soft knitting cotton and 1.5 mm hook....worked pretty well. 

Oh! this is such a beautiful trim...it was sitting in my stash for long (gifted by my sister)...finally, got to use it. A crochet lace too would enhance the look of the dress. I'll be using it at the waist.

Working on lot of other projects...mostly for spring/summer. I'll share all of it once they are done :-)

Please let me know if you like the crochet sundress. As soon as I write the pattern, I'll share it with you all...so, stay in tune.

Happy crocheting & knitting!
