Tobago Sun Dress

 

I am so excited to be a guest designer in the Crochet Foundry Spring 2021 issue.

What is Crochet Foundry?

Crochet Foundry was created in February 2020, when a group of crochet designers came together with a simple mission: To create beautiful garments for women of all sizes.

Every issue will feature a dedicated color story and theme, and each design will include patterns for Ladies sizes XS-5X.

The Spring 2021 issue features resort wear styles in lush greens, hot pinks, and cool fibres.  Easy-to-wear pieces that can be worn on their own, or layered for a breezy vibe. In addition to the seven garments, you will also get five bonus patterns.

Now to introduce my design: The Tobago Sun Dress.

This dress was designed with the beginner in mind. The Tobago Sun Dress

is beautifully textured and versatile. On warm days, pair with a sun hat and

sandals. Throw on a light jacket and ballet flats to enjoy a night out. Its boxy

frame is comfortable, easy to wear, and easily adjusted to any size. With 

optional front pockets, it will be your favorite go-to dress for the season.
