After starting and stopping several new knitting projects, and being frustrated by my lack of progress, I decided I needed a little instant gratification and took out my crochet hooks.
I mad this little Solomon's Knot Baby Dress in just a few hours. It was very simple to make and gave me the satisfaction of finishing a useable project. I had never done the Solomon's Knot before, but the video instructions made it very simple. In fact, this would be a great project for any beginner crocheter!
I followed the pattern exactly, but added a single crochet to the bottom hem to weight it down a bit. I also omitted the flower on the front since this dress is for a newborn and the flower might be uncomfortable when baby is lying on her belly.
Solomon's Knot is not my favorite stitch, and I think that if I make another of these dresses, I will substitute a shell pattern for the skirt. Still it was great to finish a project sucessfully.
This dress will be donated to Marine Corps Kids.
