CROCHET WEDDING DRESS AND MUCH MORE

by

I just purchased this book at a library book sale.  I didn’t really get to look at it before I plunked down my cash, but I know I like other Women’s Day books, so I took a chance (as I had my hands FULL of books at the moment).

WOW!  This is a fantastic book.  A quick search online revealed that the book is readily available for purchased from used book vendors for a couple bucks (what I paid).  So, if you want a book that has a good collection of women’s and children’s garment patterns – all timeless or easily updated – this is it!

The absolute most difficult crochet pattern to find is a crochet wedding dress.  There is a lovely wedding gown in here that will look perfect on most brides.  I say this because it looks very much like my store bought wedding  gown – which wasn’t actually a wedding gown, just a long, white dress.  This one is definitely a wedding gown.  Check on page 53 of this book for a picture and the pattern.

There are lots of other timeless patterns in this book.  See if you can find a copy for yourself!

Sunseeker Pullover – Crochet Pattern

If you’ve been searching for the perfect crochet top to take you from sunny afternoons to warm summer evenings, the Sunburst Tank from Knit Picks is a winner. This breezy tank is simple, stylish, and has just the right amount of detail to make it special.

The design features a clean, classic tank silhouette with a slightly relaxed fit, making it flattering on many body types. The crochet stitches add texture and visual interest, while the lightweight construction keeps it comfortable and breathable. It’s one of those pieces that looks just as good with denim cutoffs as it does tucked into a flowy skirt.

What makes this pattern shine is its versatility. Work it up in soft neutrals for a timeless wardrobe piece, or experiment with bright cottons and summer blends for a fun, beachy vibe. You can even layer it under cardigans or dusters when the weather cools down, giving it year-round appeal.

Skill level is adventurous beginner to intermediate. The pattern is approachable with repetitive stitch work, yet interesting enough to keep you engaged as you crochet.

If your summer wardrobe needs a handmade touch that’s wearable, chic, and endlessly customizable, the Sunburst Tank is a must-make.
