Purple and Lime Sweater - on trend in 2026

New from Serendipity Girls Designer Dresses

A unique designer crochet sweater for girls age 9/10. Purple/violet and green are secondary colours on the colour wheel and this sweater’s colours certainly ‘pop’ and get attention! There is plenty of texture provided by the lime green ‘bobble’ stitch circling around the sweater yoke and the purple textured stitch for the rest of the garment.

The seamless sweater features a cute frill around the base and there is ribbing on the cuffs and neckline. The quality yarn used to make this sweater is anti-pilling and extremely soft, so it’s comfortable to wear.

Measurements of finished sweater: chest 30”/76 cm, length from shoulder to base of frill 17”/43 cm (i. e below the waist), sleeve length at underarm is 15.5”/ 39.5 cm.

Materials used: 100% premium anti-pilling acrylic yarn.

Washing: gentle machine wash 40c, tumble dry low/60.

Sweater is handmade in Derbyshire, UK. With thanks to Mon Petit Violon for the pattern (Hailstorm Sweater).

Violet Girls Crocheted Sweater

New from Serendipity Girls Designer Dresses

‘Violet’ is a crochet designer sweater made in a lovely purple colour. It features a raised textured stitch pattern with long sleeves and ribbing at the cuffs and around the neck. The lower edging has a scalloped shell design.

In Tudor times in England purple was a colour for clothes that was only allowed for royalty or the very wealthy as it was a dye colour that was rare and difficult to obtain. The colour was derived from the mucus of a rare species of sea snail found in the eastern Mediterranean and off the Atlantic coast of Morocco. The dye was originally discovered by the ancient Phoenicians in the city of Tyre (modern day Lebanon, south of Beirut). The yarn used in this garment has a modern-day dye which has undergone testing for harmful chemicals and is an assurance of safety and non-toxicity (Oeko- Tex).

Sweater measures: chest 25”/63.5 cm, sleeve length from underarm 11”/28cm, length from shoulder 13”/33cm (approx. hip length).

Yarn used is Scheepjes Colour Crafter which is 100% acrylic and anti-pilling.

Washing: machine wash 40c, tumble dry low, do not iron.

With thanks to Mon Petit Violon for this lovely pattern.

PIPPA dress and reversible belt

New from Serendipity Girls Designer Dresses

My latest little girls dress design launched 21/02/12 (how's that for a palindrome?) was surprisingly inspired by a fish! I watched a TV programme about the Great Barrier Reef and saw a purple and orange fish. The dress is called ‘Pippa’ and is for girls aged 3. The trendy double hanky hem design is in a plain purple cloth with a sweetheart neckline. It is sleeveless, with two buttons at the back and a pop of colour with a detachable belt  in orange /lime green which is reversible to feature either colour. The dress has a lined bodice, French seams and would certainly attract admiring glances.
