***** This year has brought us new experiences, some might be positive, while some could be a little tough on us, but nevertheless we try to be optimistic about our future! It’s great that many people have found relaxation in crafts and created beautiful things during both lockdowns. I guess we are well-prepared for 2021 […]
New Year’s Dress-KIDS: Crochet Dress Pattern
***** This is kids version of my New Year’s Dress that was published in 2017. I have simplified the stitches to make this project accessible to all crocheters who can follow written or charted crochet patterns and know how to work the following stiches: chain, slip stitch, sc, dc, dc-stitches joined together and popcorn stitches. Photos for dc-stitches joined together and […]
TRAPEZOID: Corner to Corner Crochet Dress Pattern
***** I could not stop with this idea because it looks so modern and suitable for every day wear [not a fancy kind of dress that I have no place to wear :)]. So, here is the new trapezoid dress! ? It is fitted through the bust before falling gracefully into a flattering A-line silhouette […]
NEW YEAR’S Dress or Top. Or a Summer Wedding Dress?
***** Finally found time to update this top down crochet dress pattern to my current writing style :). NOT a single STITCH or CHART were changed though! So, what was adjusted then? – Added a new cover photo on page 1. Alas, I was not able to show photos of the front on me at the […]

What about the world of crochet patterns? How a few stitches gave birth to a whole collection of 10 crochet patterns ?. Let’s talk about TRANSFORMATION! 1. The first […]
CALLUNA: Mini Dress or Bodysuit
***** Crafted from 100% cotton, this design is defined by a plunging V-neckline and vertical waist pattern that makes the waist look slimmer. Length can be adjusted to fit your torso length. The bell-sleeves are added at the end and worked to desired length. Sleeves can be omitted as well – check how a sleeveless […]
PROPORTIONS: Dress or Top
***** Our intrinsic sense of what we consider beautiful often comes from symmetry and proportion. We often notice that some crochet garments make us look great and feel young, while others make our figures heavier. No design or color can make us look perfect if the proportions are wrong. P.S. One crocheter mentioned that I should […]

SUMMER MYSTERY CAL: choosing the best shape
*** We are to join Part 2 (Back) and Part 3 (Front) of our CAL and crochet the Bodice in one piece. I’ve sketched a few examples of your future crochet garment(s) above. There are no rectangle-shaped dresses or oversize square-shaped tops because… Yea, they are comfortable and super-cute for staying inside and hibernating through the cold winter months (as any […]
