Lotus is a hairpin lace camisole or dress.



From Stitch Diva: This try-on-as-you-go project can be completed in a weekend for the camisole-length or in a week for the knee-grazing dress.  Lotus is created by joining hairpin lace strips of different lengths into a classic feather and fan pattern.  The strips vary in length to hug the curves of the female form; each join is subtly different although the overall pattern of the dress remains the same.

Size Information: Sized in XS/S(S/M, L/XL, XXL, XXXL) to fit the following body measurements: Bust: 34 (38, 42, 46, 50) inches. The pattern is worked from the top down so length is adjustible.

Yarn and Gauge Information:  Any drapey DK weight yarn may be substituted for the suggested yarn. Gauge information in crochet and hairpin lace is not given online. The pattern uses the following yardage:

• Yards:
  • Camisole:  375 (450, 520, 575, 630)
  • Dress:  690 (790, 900, 990, 1075)
