One year birthday knitted dress








My little cutie was about to become one year old and I really needed something special for that day. I browsed dozens if not hundreds models, both crochet and knitted and finally chose a shorter variant of this dress for baptizing. The yarn is merino wool, extremely soft and cuddle.




My daughter was not a big fan of dresses but did not mind this one. Now one year later she still uses it, more like a tunic.

My Crochet Cloche Hat

Variant of Modest Cloche by Jennifer Hansen

I wanted to create a warmer variant of this very nice hat, so I used mohair yarn. Warm it became but it lost a bit in shape, so next time I'll try from a different yarn, as this hat is not only flattering to most faces but also timelessly elegant.
