Raquelito Dress and Top
This crochet pattern is very special.
My mom, Raquel, is my favorite woman. She’s complex, beautiful, incredibly intelligent, yet humble and funny in such a wonderful way. Her friends know her as Raquelito, which is where the name for this dress comes from. This design is inspired by elegance and comfort. It’s a summer dress that you won’t want to take off. The pattern also comes with instructions for a crop top and tunic top.
The file includes both English and Spanish versions (El archivo incluye el patrón en Inglés y en Español).
It is comes in US terms and with lots and lots of very helpful pictures. It also comes with charts for the front motif and the granny squares.
Level - Easy (not designed for beginners, but there is nothing very new in the pattern either.)
