Pillowcase Dress

So summer is here and in full swing! If you're looking for a great summer dress for your sweet little princess, here is a perfect one!! I used the tutorial from The Mother Huddle and let me tell you, it is WONDERFUL!!! The blog provides several sizes, tie options, and a tutorial on how to add a lining. I made one of these for my daughter and she doesn't want to stop wearing it. They make great play clothes too! So if you sew this would be a great project and it's easy on your pocket book too! If you don't sew, I am offering these through my Etsy shop: Chloe's Crochet Corner. These can truly be one of a kind dresses with endless fabric possibilities!! Look at my sweet little model :)

Barefoot Sandals Pattern For Toddlers

Here's a quick pattern that's great for summer! My little one wears these around the house all the time. They are great for the beach too!! Enjoy!

I made these for my 20 month old daughter, so the pattern is for a toddler around that age. Feel free to add extra rows for a larger size or take one or 2 out for something smaller. You are more than welcome to sell any made item from this pattern, but please don't distribute this pattern as your own or sell it, thanks!!

Materials
G Hook
Worsted Weight Yarn (cotton or acrylic)
Tapestry Needle
Buttons or beads for embellishment

Start by chaining 8 and sl st to form a loop
R1) ch 2 (this counts as a dc here and throughout), 3 dc in loop. ch 2 and turn. (4)
R2) dc in same st as turning chain and each st across. ch 2 and turn. (5)
R3) dc in same st as turning chain and each st across. ch 2 and turn. (6)
R4) dc in same st as turning chain and each st across. ch 2 and turn.(7)
R5) dc in same st as turning chain, ch 2 and skip next st. sc in next st, ch 2, sc in next, ch 2, skip next st and 2 dc in last st (6) Do not end off.
From here you will be making the ankle loop. You may want to get a measurement of the ankle to make sure the sandal will fit around securely but not too tightly. I chained 15 and then sl st to the opposite side of the sandal where I started R5. End off and weave in your ends.

You can embellish these with a flower, buttons, butterfly, leave them plain, or however else you can think of. The possibilities are endless ;)
