 Hi all

Hope all are doing well and great.  I have crocheted a frock last month.  You can view it here.  After seeing the outcome I wanted to crochet more frocks and I have taken a bold decision to make a frock  using the measurements from a 2 year old's frock. I have decided to use the simple dc's and chain stitch.  To my surprise, the outcome is really good.  Over to the frock now.
