Blissful Ballerina Dress Crochet Pattern
Baby blankets and baby afghans are lovely crochet patterns. They are both useful and beautiful. They make great baby shower gifts and are also great for charity knitting or crocheting.
In the photo: a sample of an Afghan heart for girls. You can make a childish version of this Afghan by using blue, green and yellow instead of the colors shown in the image.
We have published a wide selection of free Afghan baby crochet patterns. There are models for both boys and girls, and many of them are unisex too.
The Blissful Ballerina Dress is an adorable dress for a little ballerina and includes instructions on how to adjust the pattern to make a matching teddy bear or doll dress. The dress is constructed very simply, making it a viable project for even beginner crocheters (note, the instructions do not include how to make the basic stitches).
The dress is worked in the round, so no seams can be sewn or stitched together. Only three stitches are used to make the entire dress: triple stitch, chain and slip stitch. Don’t be put off by the smaller crochet hook and thinner yarn: thanks to the simple lace stitch, the dress works up pretty quickly.
