crocheted dress



if anyone's interested, this turned out a lot cuter than i thought it would. it's doable with one lg skein (6-8 oz) of yarn, and it doesn't take too long to throw together. i'd be willing to make more at cost (yarn and shipping, if necessary). you'd probably have to add buttons and a slip of some kind (afton's is really basic, someone made the slip using a size 2 dress as a pattern, but longer cause she's so tall). i'm making a tiny one for rayna too, i fgure she's young enough to wear it with a onesie, rather than worrying about a slip. the dress doesn't seem to be too hot, though it's yarn, and it's washable like yarn (no dryer). let me know if you'e interested.

It did come out really cute~ I remember you in a dress just that color at about that age, right before someone cut off your pigtails!

That is seriously cute! Wish I was that good... If you are bored and making more I wouldn't mind one for Lexi, although she is considerably bigger then Afton.

did you use a pattern, or make it up? my friend wants to make some for her little girls (twin 2 year olds).

i'm guessing it wouldn't be so cute on a size 5??

Cute! And oh, that brings back some good memories of crocheting in the dorms!
