Crochet the Night Away!

I got totally immersed in looking for free crochet patterns for kids/babies on the web yesterday and in my searching I found some really cute things for Abigail.  So, I quickly set out to work on my new found patterns.

The top shown in the picture was actually a dress and the bodice was solid, not lacey like I made mine.  The bottom of the top is made of "Solomon's Knots" which I had never heard of, so I found a YouTube video showing how to make them.  Very simple, but a royal pain to mess with!  But, if you want the WOW factor in your project, you have to painstakingly get there!  Since I was changing the pattern, I needed to find some little bloomers.  These are called "soakers" and that is something else I had never heard of!  I guess they are for soaking up pee that leeks out, not to mention the other grossness!  I'm going to tweak the pattern the next time I make these because there is a seam in the front where you sew the crotch when you are finished.  Then decided a headband and some sandals would look cute and finish the outfit!  And, Voila!  Here you have it!

I used my kit, Abigail, to make the layout.
