Pretty Purple Crochet Set – Inspiration

November 21, 2013

I started crocheting a halter top for myself when I thought how cute it would look as a dress for my little cousin, Madison. So I switched up a few things here and there but felt super accomplished with my finished product. If it hadn’t taken so long, I probably would have turned around and made myself one (in every color!)

 This is a good picture of the skirt. It is very ruffly, and a little heavy but very pretty.
 
These are one of my favorite sets of buttons. It’s part of the  LaMode Coordinates collection. 
I made the straps to go around the buttons, and they’re two holes longer than needed so the dress can be worn for a longer period of time.
After I finished the dress, I couldn’t just leave it alone. I also added a hat and purse.
Here is my ‘model’ wearing the purple hat with a large frilly flower attached.
Check out my Turqua Spring Wreath post to make your own Frilly Flower.
This cute little purse has a small frilly flower on it – check out my Turqua Spring Wreath post to make your own Frilly Flower. It has a large glass pearl sewn into the center of the purse as a closure. Despite how small it looks in this picture, this purse is large enough to hold my phone, keys, ID and still has a little room for more.
Back of the purse.

All three items took about two balls of Red Heart Super Saver Grape Fizz, one ball of Red Heart Super Saver Lavender, and less than one ball of Red Heart Super Saver Orchid. I also used 11 6mm brown glass pearls (sewn into center of ruffle flowers) and 1 10mm brown glass pearl (sewn into center of purse). The stack of buttons used to hold the straps are the LaMode Coordinates Moonlight Leaves. 

I was babysitting Madison and Tyler today, and was finally (after two months of having it complete) able to give this to Madison. She walked around all day with the purse but wasn’t into the dress or hat until Mama came home to play with her.

      Sometimes I amaze myself with what I used to make compared to what I make now. This dress is one of my favorites!! And she really enjoyed it. I think it’s time for an updated tutorial/pattern.

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
