I just couldn’t resist purchasing this super cute pattern by Rebbecca Lueck Adorkable Crochet and making for my 3 yr. old granddaughter. I was not disappointed. Pattern was well worth the purchase price, well written, and easy to follow.
I followed pattern with the following modifications:
Even # rows: I crocheted 3 dc in the ch 5 space rather than in the middle chain ( I was being lazy and didn’t want to crochet into the chain)
Second round of bottom border: I didn’t like the way my picots looked, so I just crocheted sc around.
I left off the border all together around the neck and armholes as the fit was already snug. My granddaughter is 3, but wears a 4 or 5 normally. I tend to crochet loose, so I thought the pattern would work out ok. It is a snug fit on top, but not too tight.
I added a flower because my granddaughter wanted something pink on the tunic. This flower pattern is really easy and cute. Love how it fits over a button and can be removed. Big fan of Heidi Yates Snappy Tots patterns!
I made the flower as per pattern instructions with the following modifications:
I used DK weight yarn and a G hook.
Beg ch, I chained 7 to fit my button.
After flower was complete, I crocheted sc around the outer petals and sl st around the inner petals with the lighter pink.
