Cute little accent skirt.  It can be worn over another skirt or lined to be worn on it's own.  Very easy to work up.  Make it in on color or combine a few.  Either way, it is sure to be one of your favorite pieces to jazz up your day.

Battle of the Stitches Round 5 Reveal #2

Design #2

Here's what the designer had to say:

Wings of Spring Toddler Empire Dress and Headband Set

“There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.

One of these is roots; the other, wings.” – Hodding Carter

This intricate dress pattern is easily followed and utilizes a multitude of techniques using Baby Bee Sweet Delight yarn. The final masterpiece is elegant enough for the church pew but also light and airy enough for Easter egg hunting in the spring sunshine. The matching headband completes the set and helps to bring together the motif flower embellishing both pieces.

Battle of the Stitches Round 5 Reveal #1

Woo Hoo!  It's time to reveal the designs that our Round 5 Crochet Designers have created.

Each designer was asked to create a new crochet design using the Moorish Motif as their Focus stitch and centered around the theme "On the Wings of Spring". 

Design #1

What the designer had to say:

I chose to design this blanket because spring makes me think of flower gardens and all the colors coming back to life after the long cold winter.  To me, the motif looked more like a flower!

The blanket can be made with any number of motifs for any size.  It can also be positioned into a placemat, table runner or use just 1 motif and add the border for a coaster.  The last round of each motif is joined as you go so there is no sewing necessary.  The border goes with the flow of the motif and uses the same stitching to add the finishing touch to the whole design and bring it all together!

Battle of the Stitches Round 1 eBook

It's been a year since our FIRST EVER -  Battle of the Stitches Crochet challenge.  Wow!  That went fast!!  Were you there?  Do you remember all the crochet designs from the challenge?  We used the Rocky Road crochet stitch with Mother's Day for our theme and our challengers came up with some pretty amazing designs that they would love to either give or receive as a Mother's Day gift.

One of the wonderful things about this challenge is that the creativity just starts to pour down on the designers an in every challenge, there have been a BUNCH of patterns designed afterwards using the same stitch.
