Havana Dress Free Crochet Pattern

I am so beyond excited to bring you the Havana Dress Free Crochet Pattern because of all my designs, this one is so so special. It is my go to dress for Spring into Summer and Summer into Fall. There are so many ways to wear and style the Havana Dress Free Crochet Pattern.

I designed the Havana Crochet Dress to have a simulated drop waist because I am petite (read: short) and this is very helpful for the illusion of length in the torso.

It is a simple magic trick in shaping and the placement of the stripes that give the drop waist effect.

And the great thing about the Havana Crochet Dress Free Crochet Pattern is that it works up in a modular way. You create the top then add the bottom skirting. This means you can go as long or as short as you may like and that is great for personalization!

Juno 'Lite' Crochet Shrug Free Crochet Pattern

AH the joys of transitional weather are in the air. Layering season is officially here and so I could not help but to bring out the Shrug game. The Juno 'Lite' Crochet Shrug Free Crochet Pattern is a perfect layer as the weather varies in a single day.

One of my most popular patterns ever was my Juno Shrug that launched this little adventure so many years ago. So I thought it was time for a new lighter version for the Spring & Fall transitional weather I love so much. I teamed up with the fine folks at We Crochet to bring you this new updated Juno 'Lite' Crochet Shrug Free Crochet Pattern.

You can find the original Juno Shrug Free Crochet Pattern here and see why everyone loves the Juno so much.

The Juno 'Lite' Crochet Shrug Free Crochet Pattern brings you the same cozy comfort as the original Juno Shrug but in a lighter weight. The yarn I chose is the We Crochet Mighty Stitch.

The We Crochet Mighty Stitch. is a great bulky yarn because it is cozy but not overly dense in how it is spun. This allows for a great amount of breathability as you stitch along and is why it is a perfect fit for the Juno 'Lite' Crochet Shrug Free Crochet Pattern.
