The original dress from VRG GRL was created using acrylic yarn. Acrylic and cotton fibers or other cotton blends are all great options for re-creating this dress.

Design Details & Pattern Links

The Stitch

This dress is created using the Granny Stitch. If you’re unfamiliar with the Granny Stitch you can find a simple video tutorial from Hopeful Honey HERE, or a written tutorial HERE.

The Construction

This design is simple and beginner friendly. It is worked flat and made up of four pieces that are seamed together (front panel, back panel, and two sleeves). You also have the option of adding some simple shoulder and/or neckline shaping to your dress. There are many different possibilities for creating Your Version of this dress. You can get creative and freehand it yourself, or use a pattern!

Patterns

There are plenty of patterns and tutorials out there that you can find with a quick Google or YouTube search, so feel free to do your own searching! Here are a couple that I found if you wish to use a written pattern:

September 🫧 It’s crazy to think that at this poin September 🫧

It’s crazy to think that at this point a few years ago, I had so much drive to be “successful” and now I really just crave a more simple life. I’m happiest when I can disconnect from all the noise, spend time with my family, take a day off work to do something spontaneous, or extend my morning routine a little longer for a good breakfast or an extra few minutes of fresh air. 

Most of the time I feel like I’m just getting “lazy” because I don’t have the energy to spend hours working my day job and then grind to run my own business too. But then I remember how carefree life used to be. Sometimes I wish we didn’t have constant connection to everyone else or AI infiltrating every daily task. 

When I started my crochet business it was so much fun, creating things with my hands to mail to my customers. Then I started writing patterns and loved that I could actually make money off of an idea that came from my brain. Now I hardly make a few pattern sales per month because the market is flooded with AI rip-offs of real artists’ work. 

And my day job is in marketing which is 100% online, looking at a computer screen typically 6-7 days a week since there’s always something that needs to be done. Marketing used to feel like creative work too and now it feels the same… trying to keep up with bots and algorithms, spending endless hours creating campaigns and strategies that you hope will help the business while knowing that the economy is also failing. 

Sometimes I feel like my lack of motivation is a failure, but then I remember that we literally weren’t built to live like this. I wasn’t made to sit on a chair and work on a computer for 6-8 hours a day. 

I’m on this earth to experience life and I’m going to take every moment I can to feel the sand between my toes and the ocean breeze, explore the world, look at the stars, talk to my kids about the clouds, create things with my hands… stop chasing algorithms and just keep embracing the little moments and memories, trying to feel what life was like before we were connected to every single person and brand 24/7, when we were still allowed to be curious and not have the immediate answer to every question.
August 🎡🍓👟 Despite the back to school chaos and e August 🎡🍓👟

Despite the back to school chaos and everyone getting sick, this past month has been full of new adventures and magical core memories like celebrating one of my best friends beautiful marriage, taking the kids to the fair for the first time, daily morning walks/hikes, and soaking up all the happy little moments 🥂🎠✨

One project that I’ve been excited to work on in my evenings after the kids go to sleep is a new Playdate Tee, pattern by @kneedlesandlife. I loved using the kid’s version of this pattern to make a tee for my daughter, so now I’m using the adult version to make one for myself using CotLin from @knit_picks 🧶 

Friendly reminders:
✨ Life is too short to stress over people who don’t value you. Save your energy for those who see you as irreplaceable. 
✨ Life is too short to not embrace your inner child. Play games, do puzzles, splash in the water, enjoy the little things. 
✨ Life is too short to not make your food fun. Put hot Cheetos on your elote, salt & vinegar chips on your coleslaw, and extra queso on your tacos. 🌮

I had so much fun working up this French Market Bag pattern by @twoofwands and it’s perfect for all of my farmer’s markets finds! 🥖🍋🥕 I made this one using @lionbrandyarn 24/7 Cotton (one of my favorite yarns ever)!

I don’t know about y’all, but with summer break coming to an end, I feel like I’m in some kind of limbo between wanting to bask in the summer sunshine, and getting ready for a cozy fall season 🌻

But I’m still leaning into summer as much as possible because I really don’t want this sunny season to end! So, I’ve been looking to my yarn stash for more summer project inspiration, and I’m loving cotton and linen fibers right now ☀️

If cotton and linen are your thing, or you’re just looking for some lovely new yarns to try, make sure to check my newest blog post for tons of yarn and fiber recommendations that are perfect for summer, and even the early fall days where you can still feel the warmth from the sun while watching leaves fall to the ground with every cozy little breeze 🍂

June ☀️🍦I haven’t crocheted much of anything since June ☀️🍦I haven’t crocheted much of anything since my last market this month. We’ve just been taking summer break day by day, finding balance, and enjoying the little things, like throwing our own little pickle party at the pool, picking flowers on walks, coloring cute pictures, and of course the mandatory egg sandwich 🥒💐🍄🥪

And while I’ve been trying better to document all of our adventures, I still just can’t seem to get the hang of snapping pictures while I’m just loving living in the moment. Like when I spent the whole day at Magic Mountain with my bestie and forgot to take photos, but at least I got a pic of our parking space so we wouldn’t get lost in the parking lot again like we did last year 😂🤭

I wasn’t even exaggerating when I said I’m obsesse I wasn’t even exaggerating when I said I’m obsessed with making these 🐙 I loved the first one of these mini octopuses that I made so much that I had to keep her for myself and she comes everywhere with me now as a bag charm 🥰

These little guys have been a hit at my recent markets, so I’m working on restocking them for summer! I loooove watching them work up in a rainbow of colors 😍🌈 

I’ll be adding keychains to these cuties too! While I love making these in a “plushie” size as well, the mini keychain versions sell very well for me, and I definitely recommend making them for your markets, (or for yourself)! 🗝️

Pattern is @stitchsisterco Bitty Ollie Octopus 🐙 

I used @premieryarns Parfait Chunky and a 4mm hook to make them even smaller 🧶

I’m planning on making these little guys into keychains so they can travel with you on all of your whimsical adventures! ☀️ And I’m literally so obsessed with them that I might have to keep one for myself 🤭
