kaitkaitcrochet

As a young child I used to play with my mother's yarn, pretending to crochet like her. When I was still in primary school, she taught me how to crochet. This as it happens became Mama's greatest gift to me.

Since then I have made doilies, table runners, hats, bags, slippers. Of all my projects I am very, very happy with the green dress I made as shown in the picture. This pattern was easy to follow and I completed this project in three days!

I never liked to make sweaters or cardigans because I have to attach the sleeves to the body. This dress was made in one piece starting from the neck down, which made this pattern so easy.

I used DMC Petra yarn and for this size (32cm length from shoulder to knee) it took only one ball. This dress fits 3 - 6 month old babies

I love this yarn. With its exceptional brightness and softness, Petra is a quality crochet thread with natural, mercerised 100% cotton thread that does not go fluffy or knot easily. When finished this dress has a nice sheen to it. For colour chart please go to

If you are keen to have this dress as a gift for only RM80.00 with postage and handling (within Malaysia only) please e-mail to me your name, contact details and your colour code, and I will get to you as soon as possible.

It's been nice to share this bit of information with you. I look forward to hear from you.
