MATERIALS

Yarn: DK—Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK in colorway “Cream”

  • 100% cotton
  • 273 yds (250 m) per 3.5 oz (100 g) skein
  • Find this yarn on lionbrand.com or yarnsub.com to find comparable substitutes available in your region.

 

Yardage Required: 4 (4, 4, 4, 5) (5, 6, 6, 6) skeins or approximately 850 (900, 975, 1050, 1175) (1225, 1375, 1475, 1550) yds (777 [823, 892, 960, 1074] [1120, 1257, 1349, 1417] m)

 

Yarn Substitution: Visit knitsnknots.ca/siren-side-slit-dress for an extensive list of yarn substitutes and yarns used during pattern testing. Substitute Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK with any similar light DK-weight (category #3) yarn that matches gauge. Most fibers should work fine in this project, particularly cotton or cotton blends. Avoid 100% bamboo yarns, as these will be too slippery; a little grip is needed. Note that DK weight is sometimes referred to as “8-ply” in Australia.

 

Hook: Size U.S. E/4 (3.5 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge

 

Notions: Tapestry needle, 3 locking stitch markers, several more stitch markers (optional) to help with seaming

    PATTERN NOTES

    Skill Level: Intermediate

     

    Sizing: This dress is written in nine sizes as follows: XS (S, M, L, XL) (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X). Make sure to follow the numbers for your size only. An “x” indicates the instruction is not applicable to your size.

     

    Stitch Counts: Stitch counts are listed after each row/round. If no stitch count is given, there has been no change since the previous row/round. If only one number is provided, it applies to all sizes.

     

    Right Side/Wrong Side: There is a right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) to this fabric. The RS faces you as you crochet all even-numbered rows (the Shell rows).

     

    Turning Chain: The turning chain does not count as a stitch.

     

    Lacy Fabric: Note that this stitch pattern has a lot of stretch due to the mesh ch5-sps. It is normal for your dress to appear quite small as you are crocheting it. This fabric has the capability of stretching nicely to fit your bust and hip measurements.

     

    Armholes: As you crochet your panels, the armholes may seem quite large. This will change once your armhole border is worked; the border rounds worked later on will cinch them in perfectly.

     

    Construction: This dress is worked side-to-side, lengthwise, in two panels (front and back) that get seamed together, then a simple border is added to the neckline and each armhole.

    Great size, design, and 100% metal grinding mechanism
    Color: 1pcs-Sliver-304
    ***PLEASE NOTE: This review is only for the more expensive version here with the all metal grinding mechanism and not the cheaper version that looks the same but has a ceramic grinder that’s also available on this page — hope this helps avoid potential confusion. My advice is to splurge on the metal grinder version. ***UPDATE 3/18/26*** Well, after almost two years of fairly heavy daily use the first flaw has emerged so thought I’d share. Yesterday the silver wrapping on the grinder part came loose making it hard to turn the grinder as it was slipping. I did a quick fix by adding some super glue around the seam at the top of the grinder and that’s done the trick at least for now. I’m leaving my 5-star rating because I remain thrilled with its overall performance and frankly would’ve ordered another one if this fix didn’t work, but so far it appears to be holding. 🤞 So still very happy but just wanted to share in case anyone else experiences this. ***UPDATE 8/18/25*** So I’ve now had this for over a year, and under pretty heavy daily use I’m happy to report it still works as well as the day I bought it. Great product, and it’s a pleasure to use every day. ***UPDATE 10/3/2024*** So, after almost four months of pretty heavy daily use I just wanted to report back that this grinder continues to work perfectly and shows every sign of lasting for years to come. I especially like the glass jar so I can see when I’m running low on black peppercorns, and even though it’s got a small form factor it holds a lot so I don’t have to refill it frequently despite using it multiple times daily. I’m super happy with this product all around and recommend it highly!!! ================================ Been using this for a few days now and am very happy so far. I’ve used a traditional wood pepper mill my whole life, but now it’s just me so I wanted something smaller and with a glass body so I can easily see when I need to add more peppercorns. I also wanted an all metal grinding mechanism (that this version has for an few dollars more) instead of ceramic, which doesn’t seem to hold up as well, and I definitely wanted no plastic parts involved in the actual grinding either — don’t need any more microplastics in my diet thank you. This one seemed to check all the boxes, and so far it’s been great. Initially it was set to a more fine, powdery grind, but it was super easy to adjust to a more course grind that I prefer and it’s perfect. Overall it seems well built and is very easy to use, and as long as this holds up it’s a definite keeper. I’ll report back if any future mishaps, but as of now I’d recommend this very highly!

    Most excellent spice grinder!
    Color: 1pcs-Sliver-304
    This spice grinder grinds my cumin and coriander seeds perfectly with very little effort and it’s attractive. I’m sure it will last longer than my plastic one that broke recently. Very happy with my purchase!

    Good quality for an inexpensive salt/pepper grinder. Works fine and should last a reasonable time

    Looks nice and seems to work well, but the black retaining ring randomly fell out.
    Color: 1pcs-Sliver-304, Color: 1pcs-Sliver-304
    The pepper grinder looks nice and initially functioned well as expected. However, as at least 9 other reviewers have noted experiencing, within 2 weeks of purchase and after very minimal usage, the black retaining ring around the grinder cone & adjustment knob just fell out when I was using the grinder, which was disappointing and indicative of poor design or construction for this part. After some research & experimentation, I was able to pop the ring back into place using needle-nose pliers (you just need something hard and narrow to push and flex the ring a bit, not necessarily pliers). I'm hoping that this is not a harbinger of other problems to come. Otherwise it's a nice grinder.
