Summer sundress for Stella
This crocheted sundress was started in mid-October, and completed on Christmas Eve. It had a few periods of hibernation while I was working on other projects, but was a very satisfying item to crochet.
The pattern is Summer Daisy Sundress by Lisa Naskrent, which was published in Interweave Crochet, Summer 2008 issue.
I used 8 ply cotton from Bendigo Woollen Mills, in the colour Fennel (which I don’t think is available any more). It feels fairly heavy, but I think will be okay to wear – that is, if Stella will ever agree to try it on.
I really love working in Bendi cotton – I have quite a few of their lovely big balls in a variety of colours and am planning on making lacy short sleeved cardis for each of the girls (among more utilitarian items like dishcloths and hot pads). No promising a completion date!
Oh wow. You’ve won my heart Lara! Just stunning!
That color is one of my favorites! Dying to see it on your little charmer.

That’s lovely. Really, really pretty. NICE job.
I have been trying to find the written instructions for the Summer Daisy Dress and even tried to find a copy of the magazine at the local library but alas they don’t keep magazines more than 1 year.. could you post the instructions here or scan them and send them to me.. I would love to make this for my granddaughter! Thanks for your consideration
