When I think of heirloom crochet pieces, what comes to mind are pieces that will stretch the span of time. Those that possess classic beauty that no matter what era the item was made in, every generation looks at it and gasps saying, “Oh! How beautiful is that!?!”. That is what you are getting with the Newborn Sophia Heirloom Crochet Dress.
Some might think that just because it is an heirloom piece it will be full of complex stitches and overly complicated to make. This is not true with the Newborn Sophia Heirloom Crochet Dress. It combines simple stitches with simple repeats to produce this classic dress.
The Newborn Sophia Heirloom Crochet Dress uses a #4 medium/worsted weight yarn for the yoke and a #1 fine fingering yarn for the bottom of the dress to show off all the beautiful lace that is created.
It’s quick to work up, yet stunning and elegant. Ideal for a baptism, blessing, or even a wedding. The Newborn Sophia Heirloom Crochet Dress is perfect for your little Princess!
