Hello again (apparently I don’t do “simple”) 🌼
Hello after a short break—turns out crocheting takes time. Shocking, I know. Add life, work, and the rare appearance of good weather, and suddenly I’d rather be outside than counting stitches indoors.
But I’m back, with another experimental project. Because naturally, instead of following a nice, normal beginner pattern like a reasonable person… I decided to invent my own little chaos.
The idea: somewhere between a tunic and a dress
This piece has been sitting in my head for a while. I wanted to try flower motifs, and somehow that turned into a brown, mesh tunic (or dress? we’re flexible here) with a sun—maybe a sunflower—worked into the design.
No pattern, just vibes and a bit of stubbornness.
The structure came together slowly, with a lot of adjusting as I went. One of those projects where you’re never entirely sure if it’s genius or a mistake until the very end.
The result (surprisingly wearable)
Against all odds, it actually works.
It’s light, airy, and definitely wearable—though it needs a layer underneath, like a simple dress or a top. It has that soft, summery, slightly boho feel, and I’m honestly quite fond of how the flower motif turned out.
Also, yes—I’m fully aware it would look much better on a mannequin with arms. Unfortunately, my current model (the very budget-friendly Milo Venus edition) is doing its best, and so am I.
Final thoughts
I might not be following the “proper beginner path,” but where’s the fun in that?
For now, I’ll keep experimenting, making slightly questionable decisions, and occasionally ending up with something I genuinely love.
And this one? This one I actually love 🌿
The whole project spontaneously appeared in my head. I didn't use any kind of pattern for making this piece. |
