Field of Violets

       As you can probably tell, I had a lot of fun with this pattern set. What started out as a simple dress for the March/April 2021 issue of Doll Castle News magazine evolved into an ensemble that allows you to mix and match colors, components, and accessories to create several different outfits from the same basic set of instructions.

       This versatile ensemble crocheted in size 10 cotton thread includes patterns for Dress, Half-Slip, Sash/Hairband, Hat/Beret, and Simple Pearl Necklace & Bracelet Set. You can create many different looks just by changing color schemes, adding or subtracting pieces, and settling the hat square on the head or slouching it beret-style! You can even forget the hat completely and use the sash pattern for a hairband, and the half- slip could easily be converted into a skirt.

       Of course, you can also easily lengthen or shorten the skirt, and add a few rows to the bodice alone to convert it to a blouse. With a little imagination, you can create an entire wardrobe!
