Dress for Father's Day

Happy Day to y'all!

For Mother's Day one of the gifts my kids gave me was

yarn and a pattern to crochet a dress for my granddaughter.

Unfortunately, I didn't get it right on Mother's Day.

With the pandemic, we weren't seeing the kids much, but 

finally I got the yarn and pattern.

I worked up this dress in just one evening.  It's a pretty easy

pattern and I gave it to Jaryd for Father's Day.

This is my fabulous granddaughter, Marie, in her

new dress and head band.  The pattern calls for a 

sort of waist band, but I thought it would be a bit

bulky and warm, so I chose to make the flower and 

add that to the front instead.

Here's the funny thing, the kids surely didn't know much

about crocheting and how much yarn would be needed.

They bought me 4 skeins of yarn to make this dress.

The dress took exactly one skein.

Guess I'll be making something else for our little one.

I'm thinking a little cardigan to match might be nice

for cooler nights.

Thanks for stopping in today and spending time

seeing what I've been up to.

Come again soon,

until then:

Happy Crafting!
