A piece that feels both timeless and alive, to be made for those who treasure the art of crochet and the beauty of handmade design.

To make the garment, opt for a cotton yarn of DK weight that can give you similar gauge as described in pattern. For finer yarns, you can combine 2 strands to obtain a similar gauge. Remember to wash and block your gauge piece for more accurate sizing. The width of the smock does not have much room for size adjustment, but the shoulders can be shortened by reducing an even number of rows when making. So when testing gauge, the number of horizontal filet squares that takes to make up 10cm is of more importance.

The finished garment measures 50-52 cm across, and it can fit up to a bust size of 110cm. To make the smock larger, you can simply opt for a thicker yarn and a larger hook.
