Hairpin Lace Crochet Pattern: Lotus Smock Dress and Camisole

SDS-034

Crochet Hairpin Lace Pattern - Not an actual garment

The Lotus Smock is a super fast and easy project using crochet hairpin lace.  If the beauty of Lotus doesn't entice you to try hairpin lace, perhaps the speed of this project will.

This try-on-as-you-go project can be completed in a weekend for the camisole-length or in a week for the knee-grazing dress.  Lotus is created by joining hairpin lace strips of different lengths into a classic feather and fan pattern.  The strips vary in length to hug the curves of the female form; each join is subtly different although the overall pattern of the dress remains the same.

Key to this design is the forgiving fit:  not only is hairpin fabric stretchy, but also the texture of the join pattern helps Lotus obscure any bulges that you might like kept under wraps.

I love this pattern! It's deceptively easy and works up beautifully. Definitely my favourite thing that I've crocheted so far - I made the dress. As long as you can chain, sc and dc, and have a hairpin lace loom, you can do this!
