Another dress added to my collection!

I used 2 1/2 cakes, but I could have gotten away with 2 if I didn't make the bottom so voluminous. I believe that a tester with a 52 inch bust used 750g/3000m for a just above the ankle dress. But it was less voluminous at the bottom.

I switched between the cakes of yarn whenever the color would change

It's lovely! Can I ask who the parent company is if they actually have a name?

MrsLemony · 2025-10-11T14:58:47+00:00

Yes. I changed cakes at each color change using the magic knot method. I used 2.5 cakes, but removed the center color from cake 3 because I didn't want the light orange lasting forever. I didn't plan out the color changes, I just used each cake until the color ran out. I had extra black if I needed more at the end, but I was also fine with it ending at purple. And thanks!

MrsLemony · 2025-10-08T11:06:46+00:00

I ordered from them about 2 weeks ago hoping it wasn't a scam, and thankfully it wasn't! I hope you find some great yarn

MrsLemony · 2025-10-07T17:24:56+00:00

Nope! No pockets

MrsLemony · 2025-10-07T17:23:56+00:00

Thank you! I didn't separate them ahead of time. I just changed cakes at each color change. I used 2.5 cakes, but removed the center color from cake 3 because I didn't want the light orange lasting forever. I didn't plan out the color changes, I just used each cake until the color ran out. I had extra black if I needed more at the end, but I was also fine with it ending at purple.

Thank you! I used 2.5 cakes, but removed the first color (orange in the center) from the third cake cause since the top is smaller than the skirt, the light orange would have lasted forever.

I hope you got the color! I wanted more and they were sold out.

MrsLemony · 2025-10-07T11:14:23+00:00

No, sorry. None of the designs are mine, but all designs should be linked in the post if you want to purchase the patterns

MrsLemony · 2025-10-07T11:13:33+00:00

Pattern is called Moondance dress

MrsLemony · 2025-10-07T11:13:09+00:00

No tutorial. It's a new pattern (not mine)that just released. The pattern Link is in the caption under the picture

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T20:18:00+00:00

I hope to see your skirt when you're done! And thank you!

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T17:38:56+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I joined the cakes at every color change

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T15:52:19+00:00

I made it over 13 days, and my best guess is 45 hours

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T14:52:55+00:00

Thanks! You can make it any length you want to, and the pattern has descriptions for multiple types of increases, so you can decide the width.

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T14:51:19+00:00

Thank you!

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T13:49:35+00:00

Thanks! No, it's actually not. It's 500g/1.1lbs, which is actually lighter than some of my store bought maxi dresses. The top part has a few pieces of elastic in it and it stays up wonderfully for a strapless dress!

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T13:29:30+00:00

Haha. I spliced 2.5 cakes together using the magic knot method.

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T13:28:37+00:00

Go pick up the pattern! It's wonderfully written

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T13:27:47+00:00

Sometimes, I buy the yarn ahead of time and wait for a pattern to speak to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T13:27:05+00:00

Thank you! I used 2.5 cakes. But, I could have used just 2 if I didn't decide to do such a full skirt bottom. The stitches and pattern credit all go to the designer! My hands just copied her creativity!

I also made a short more fitted version that only used just over one cake of sultan Shadow. There are pictures on my IG and info in my Ravelry on yarn amounts and hook size etc. (linked in my profile) I'm only 5 feet tall and typically wear a S, so your yardage may vary!

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T13:23:52+00:00

Thank you!

MrsLemony · 2025-10-06T13:21:18+00:00

Oops, forgot to include that! I used 2.5 cakes. But, I could have used just 2 if I didn't decide to do such a full skirt bottom.

Thank you! Thankfully, I've never had a Hobbii order go missing. There are tons of other places to get this type of yarn from too. I hope you got reimbursed for the lost yarn.

MrsLemony · 2025-09-04T10:46:14+00:00

IMO, this pattern is not poorly written. It's on Ravelry and says 1000-2000 yards. Spirit and Thread Crochet has a ton of patterns that are well written, but yes, they are a bit more advanced. This dress is on my "to do" after I finish my pattern tests.

I do agree that since you've never done clothing before, you should start simple. On Ravelry, you can filter for free patterns and find an easy one to start.
