"Crochet", est un mot français!



 
 
 
Here is a great Pattern that I borrowed, and you can get it too at the following website: http://monde-creatif.over-blog.com/article-robes-au-crochet-108932400.html
      

Do  not allow the foreign language to discourage you. If you notice, the pattern is given by a symbol diagram that represents stitches (for example +  could represent triple/treble crochet). The Language on the pattern is Catalan (according to Google-translate), but the link is from a French blog that I found on Google.Fr for Google-France.

 

 
 
Bon crochet  ...




I have noticed on Google.Fr (Google-France) that the crocheted dress patterns (robe de crochet-crocheted dress in French because robe=dress in French) are not always 100% crocheted, but the bodice or collar is often crocheted and paired with a "groovy" pattern.


 




This dress is actually 850 euros according to Vogue Paris. I don't think I would pay that much for something that I could make, but I do appreciate this piece. It had better be handmade for as much as it costs!





I really don't know if these dresses are crocheted. However, I do love the lacy, crocheted-like appearance of these garments.

This dress is over-the-top-awesome! I love the color and the busy design...it's a bit much, but it's crocheted!






SIMPLE
NOT SO SIMPLE

귀여운 한국어 코바늘로 뜨는 블라우스 (Kute Korean Krocheted Top)




I love this top!


Crochet a hundred little flowers and stitch them together to make a dress! Brilliant!



I am feeling this dress! I don't care for the flowers on the bodice, but the ones coming up from the hem are nice.


.
I'm obsessed with the pineapple stitch, as you may be able to see from my previous posts. I love that the large petals on the flower center piece was achieved with pineapples.

Sexy Crocheted Swimwear Ideas From Chyna Dolls


Hello All! I'm always on the hunt for sexy crocheted swimwear, and here is my favorite site: http://www.chynnadolls.com/crochet-bikinis! Visit this site, even if it's just for fun! There are other swim suits, but there is a special crochet bikini tab. The suits range from $79.99-$89.99, but that's not bad, if they're handmade. Although I haven't purchased one of the suits, I love this site because it gives me great ideas for the swimsuits that I try to make for myself (that I never finish). I  was way more productive as a teenager in crocheting cool bikinis than I am now, which is a bit ridiculous. Although, I did have more free time back then.

I just love looking at the swimwear that is crocheted! If you can't afford this, try making one like it! The back part of the bottom (I like to call it the "bunched up booty") is really a cool idea.


Check out these awesome bikinis in the photos below!

Notice that the above dresses have circles (such as a doily pattern). You can make two circles and fit them to your abdomen. Then you can attach them to a rectangular piece and do stiches between to connect the circles.

You Can Make Exoticrochet!



You can crochet fringes like this too! Check out the Pattern for the fringes below @ http://www.crochetspot.com/how-to-crochet-chain-loop-fringe/

Don't freak out- it's a beginner's level pattern. If you can chain stitch (abbreviation: ch) and single crochet (abbreviation: sc), then you can do this. If you can't do either, you can learn in less than 30 minutes!










Pinned Image

To crochet the net that composes the wrap around around her waist, all you need to know is how to chain (ch).
  1. You can start out by chaining the piece long enough until each end touches the middle of your thigh (the front of your thigh, like the model in the picture). For example, I might chain 100 (because I have wide hips) before the tips of each chain touches the middle of the front of my thighs when I wrap the string around my hips.
  2. You can double, half double or single crochet in each loop to create a strong band.
  3. To make the net, you have to chain  (say ch 3, 4, 5...depending on how large you want the holes in your net to be) 4, for example, but skip 1 or 2 stitches.
  4. Ex: Row1: ch 102, dc in the 3rd chain from the hook, dc 100 (waist band)
  5. Ex: Row2: ch 5, skip 1, sc in the next stitch (st-abbrev. for stitch), ch 5 skip 1 sc in the next st...repeat to end of band...sl st (slip stitch) to finish, turn and chain 5.
  6. In the next row, make sure you chain one or two more and slip stitch into the middle of the loop made from the previous row.
This model below is wearing a crocheted collar, and holding some sort of crocheted/knitted clutch or foled scarf, maybe it's a muff. However, her expression and demeanor is killing me right now! Seriously.
