Kara’s New Dress – Dreamy Yellow

Bonjour, mes amies!

Here is Kara’s first dress based on a pattern by me !! I have the English version of the tutorial ready to go, but am beavering away with Google Translate trying to finish the French version. I’ll get them posted as soon as possible.

Kara’s cute dress is a simple crocheted pattern, slightly unseasonal, but I’m sure she could pop on a cardigan if she gets cold.

I’ve used a size 3 mm crochet hook and the yarn is a new purchase of 4 ply baby wool by Woolcraft shade 702 (pale yellow). It fastens at the back with one button – I’m quite chuffed that I am managing to come up with a pattern by myself – even if it is very simple.

Kara’s cousins, Katie and Krissy, also have new dresses and I’m sure you’ll agree they look adorable together.

Katie’s dress has a contrast band at the top and bottom which is also Woolcraft 4 ply in shade 722 (pale peach). The body of her frock is a bargain end of dye lot purchase – Katia Baby Fantasie shade 6113. This is a very pretty, soft yarn and I’m sure I’ll make something else with it very soon.

Krissy’s very striking dress has a different collar which matches the series of eyelets near the hem. This yarn is Drops Fabel shade 105 (turquoise) – and is equivalent to 4 ply.

As a shout out to Margotte, who posted some gorgeous pictures yesterday of versions of my previous pattern, I took a picture of my girls with one of my cats – Holly. Poor Holly was fast asleep and I kept poking her to try and get her to look at the camera!
