Patterns, projects and techniques
This is NOT a project for a beginner, but if you can read a chart, you can recreate this stunning yet playful lacy dress/blouse. It’s a very special look that can work as a swimsuit cover up, a dressy sweater, or a show-stopping evening gown.
The site where you can find this masterpiece shows it in a variety of yarns, colorways, and styles – from the very casual to the dressy.
This Crochet Baby Beanie is one of those simple little patterns that makes a really lovely handmade gift. It uses soft Bernat Softee Baby yarn for the hat, a fluffy Pipsqueak edging, and an optional crochet flower on the side, giving it that cute baby-shower-ready finish.
What makes this one appealing is that the shape is worked in easy rounds, starting with a magic circle and increasing up to 48 stitches before moving into the textured post-stitch section. The fluffy edging softens the whole look, and the added flower gives it a sweet decorative touch without making the project feel too fussy.
I also like that it feels like a pattern you could easily customize. You could skip the flower for a simpler baby beanie, change the colors for a more modern look, or keep the pink-and-white version for a classic handmade baby gift. It has that practical “quick weekend project” feel, which is always handy when a baby shower sneaks up on you.
If you’re looking for an easy crochet baby hat pattern with a soft, cozy finish, this one is definitely worth a look. It’s cute, giftable, and the fluffy trim gives it a little extra charm.
Did not care for the multi-color version but thought the solid color ones looked great. I totally admire the designer.
I love the dress but the link just links to several bogus sites and I was unable to find a legitimate place to download the chart.
Please post a more usable pattern. I would love to make this.
LOVE. Not like, love this!
Hmmmm. I agree the solid looks slightly better but I still think it looks like it was lifted off a table.
frustrating…no pattern to be found that you can buy or download!!!!
I wish I could get the pattern! I can’t enlarge the charts enough to see properly. Has anyone found the written pattern yet? THANKS!
