Heirloom Crochet Christening Dress

It is a very simple and beautiful christening gown. If you are interested in thread crochet and lace christening gowns, this is a pattern worth considering. This sweet little pattern is located at http://web.archive.org/web/20040607005031/www.jacqscrochet.com/christeningdress.htm.

I started making it on February 22nd, 2008. I am using Aunt Lydia's Fine Crochet Thread size 20 and it's getting a little fuzzy. I would definitely recommend using DMC Cebelia as specified by Jacqui.

So far I am probably 1/2 to 2/3 done with it. It's hard to keep going as it keeps putting me to sleep. The results are worth it. Here's how it looks so far...


I want to make a matching coverlet, booties and cap...

Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment! :D
