We are Samanta Fornino (Follow the Crochet<\/em><\/a>) and Maria Mirt (<\/em>I mieilavoriall\u00b4uncinetto<\/em><\/a>)<\/em> and we want to present you with this crochet Mother Daughter<\/strong> set. We\u2019ve called this project, comprised of two crochet garments made from Katia Capri Plus<\/a> and Katia Polynesia<\/a>, Mini Me.<\/em> We love the combination of these two yarns! On the one hand, because of the bright strong Capri Plus colours; and on the other hand, because of the delicate Polynesia colour range. Follow our crochet Mother Daughter<\/em> tutorials and discover how easy it is to make this dress and waistcoat set. Of course, we\u2019d also like to encourage you to make this set so that you can match your look together with aunts, nieces, grandmothers and granddaughters.<\/p>\n

Crochet Mother Daughter<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Samanta<\/a>: My design is a summer dress <\/strong>for girls from 6 months to 3 years.\u00a0 However, as this is a crochet Mother Daughter project, mums can also adapt it to their own size. In this case, for an adult, you must start the pattern with 180 chain stitches. This is a cool dress which is ideal for walking along the beach this holiday!<\/p>\n

Maria<\/a>: There\u2019s no doubt that making something with your own hands is always a source of pride and conveys our passion for the little things in life. In this crochet Mother Daughter tutorial<\/strong> I explain how to make a Granny Waistcoat<\/strong>: a unique and personalised garment. You only need to make 3 crochet squares the same size to proudly show off a garment that matches your daughter\u2019s, niece\u2019s or granddaughter\u2019s.<\/p>\n
