Crochet Summer Beach Dress

Summer is round the corner — so here is my first creation for summer: a stylish multi-coloured beach dress. It’s made using Katia Jaipur Cake cotton yarn.

The original design was based on a pattern published by Katia. The original pattern link is no longer available, but I later prepared my own written version, including the modifications I made:

I’ve kept this original post as it was my first version of the dress — and the project that eventually led to the written pattern.

I love variegated yarn like this, as you get a beautiful result even with a simple pattern.

Hope you get inspired by this! Enjoy!!

Pretty Petals Little Girl’s handbag

In a previous post called Pretty Petals Coasters →, I shared a cute coaster pattern. I adapted that to make a little handbag for a little girl.

I made four large coasters and joined two together by crocheting the white outline through both layers. That way, I ended up with two rather sturdy sides. I then joined the two sides together using white yarn.

For the handles, I made simple crochet cords, and to finish, I added snap buttons.

Hope this inspires you! Enjoy!
