I’m so excited to share this. It took me about a month to finish (I really took my time to be honest). I had the idea in my head for a while and decided to go for it. I free styled the dress completely and used this pattern to make the headband. I did modify the flower to achieve this look. The yarn I used was Vanna’s Choice Baby in Aqua and Vanna’s Choice in Scarlet (all purchased at Michael’s). I used one skein of the red and a little over three of the aqua.I made a simple tulle skirt to go underneath. I absolutely adore this on my daughter! I have never crocheted a dress before, so I was so happy it came out this way.
I have a bizillion more pictures on my flickr if you would like to see them.
Hope you are having a great weekend!

February 1, 2009 at 7:56 amThanks 🙂 It actually was just a photo set up in our backyard that I did. I cut up flags from wrapping paper from the dollar store, taped them to string, threw paper shredding on the ground and blew up a bunch of balloons. She loved it! Thanks for letting me know about mommy and me. I found one group on meet up that I’m going to try out too.

January 6, 2010 at 9:49 pmHi! I just stumbled accross your blog a few weeks ago…I can’t even remember what I googled…but it was a happy accident! Everything here is so cute. Just wondering what you think of the Vanna’s choice yarn. I love the colors, but I am so afraid that it will pill! Sometimes the skeins in the clearance bin look a little rough…Thanks! ABY

I have never had a problem with it pilling. Now, I have never washed it though. I like it and I think as long as you take care of it the yarn will be wonderful for you.

May 12, 2012 at 9:03 pmHi Katie 🙂
I actually worked on a second one last year and just need to sit down and put together the semi-tutorial for it. It was basically two rectangles for the top and I just kept increasing on the skirt to round it out. I’m hoping to get the tute up this year 😉 If my girls will give me some time lol
