Stella’s roselette
Remember Clare’s wildberry roselette? Poor Stella had been missing out in the mummy-made garment stakes, so I crocheted her a roselette as well.
This was another quick crochet project – around five hours of crochet time spread over the course of the last week. If I am watching tv (which doesn’t happen all that often) I always have a crochet project in my hands, and I took this one to work last week and did a little on my breaks.
The yarns were leftovers from other projects. The aqua is Spotlight Yarn Bee cotton/soy from a couple of years ago, and the pink is Spotlight Yarn Bee bamboo/cotton, also from a couple of years ago. At the moment Stella’s favourite colour is blue AND pink, so this hit the spot. As with Clare’s roselette, I didn’t work button loops on the back opening, but just edged it then used the gaps in the crochet stitches as buttonholes. The buttons are slightly mis-matched (because that’s all I had, so let’s call it a design feature).
Ravelled with more details and photos here.
Looks wonderful… and she looks very happy with it. Is she singing “you did it?” as she jumps around?
The roselette is so cute. I love the way that the pink trim looks with the pretty aqua color. Nice crochet work!
I just found your blog – your sewing and crochet projects are really inspiring. I love your style! I made the Roselette for my daughter when she was 2, she is now 4 and begging for a new one. Time to get busy! It is such a great pattern.
Mismatched buttons are the best. I have a cardigan (that I bought from Melbourne) and I have lost two buttons from it. As it is a red cardi I have added two different ladybird (ladybug) buttons, so now it is my ladybird cardigan. So mismatched buttons can be awesome 🙂
