#crochet dress
Just finished this 100% linen dress.
I adapted a knit pattern to crochet, then came up with this dress design. I finished it with elastic thread to maintain the ruched bodie and sleeve.
I love the way it looks!
I adapted Lisa Naskrent’s pattern Shawl of The Moirae into this dress. This isn’t the first dress I’ve made using this pattern, and it probably won’t be the last
She is my favorite designer and all her patterns are amazing - go to her website www.crochetgarden.com or her ravelry page to look at her work and buy her patterns! She actually has diagrams!!! Which is helpful since I can not follow a written pattern to save my life!
The thread I used is a 100% Plant Silk - it is not stretchy when warm like viscose or rayon, it is as bright and lustrous as mulberry silk, while being simultaneously lighter in weight and stronger. It is made in Greece by a company called Delfino and I always fill a suitcase of this thread when I visit. Click HERE to visit their website - but while the thread itself is very affordable, the shipping costs can be quite pricey.
