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!

  3. Marina,
    I’ve offered the ISBN for the book so that others could purchase it themselves. Copyright laws forbid me from sending a copy of the book or any part of it. I hope you can find a copy for yourself. Amazon.com has numerous used copies for under $5.

Free Purple Witch Hat Keychain Crochet Pattern – Cute Halloween Bag Charm

If you love those tiny crochet projects that use hardly any yarn but still look ridiculously cute, this little witch hat is worth adding to your Halloween list.

The Free Purple Witch Hat Keychain Crochet Pattern on CraftBits is worked from the top down in one main piece, so there is very little sewing together at the end. You start with the pointed purple hat, add a black band, work the brim, then finish it off with a tiny gold buckle and that classic crooked witch-hat shape.

It is exactly the sort of project I like for leftover yarn. You only need small amounts of purple, black and gold, which means those odd little yarn balls we all refuse to throw away finally have a purpose.

The finished hat can be attached to a keyring or bag clip, but you could also use it as a Halloween tree ornament, zipper charm, gift topper or even string several together to make a spooky little garland.

I also love how easy it would be to change the colours. Try orange and black, green and purple, or cream and dusty pink for a softer cottage-witch look.

This is a quick, beginner-friendly Halloween crochet project that would be especially cute for party favours, market stalls or little handmade gifts.
