Crochet Summer Halter Dress Pattern

Summer Halter Dress

 Little girls love to play dolls, I wish I had outgrown them. I've been obsessed with Barbie since I first played with them. I learned to make them clothes fairly young as well. My ideas have come from many young ladies making crochet festival tops and the v-stitch has become very popular these days as a crochet netting. This doll clothes pattern uses the same technique in the bust as the festival tops. The bust can also be converted into a cute bathing suit top by omitting the dress rows and making long straps across the bottom of the bust and finishing with the straps as written.  The netted crochet look uses the v-stitch and my pattern demonstrates how to increase v-stitches when working in the round. The materials needed are size 5 crochet thread and a #7 hook.

Crochet Lace Princess Crown Pattern

Today I'm giving away another free pattern to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 90th Birthday.

I've posted it on Ravelry and all you need is the coupon code QE90BDAY to download it now FREE. Offer good April 21st, 2016 only. But just in case you miss this special offer, the Lace Princess Crown pattern will be available for an introductory price of $1.

This intermediate pattern works up fairly quickly and will fit sizes newborn to child. It can also be adjusted to fit an adult, youths or even the cat (by reducing the stitch count to 65 like I did with the yellow one on the right). I've also included some suggestion for decorating the crown. If you have any great ideas to decorate these, let me know.
