CROCHET PATTERN
Effortless, bohemian, and universally flattering.
The Hey Sara Dress reimagines the classic kaftan silhouette for the modern maker. Designed with summer days and festival nights in mind, this pattern balances airy, open-work texture with feminine details like cascading side ruffles and a delicate picot edge.

The construction is deceptively simple (worked flat in two panels). The adjustable drawstring waist allows you to transform the fit in seconds—cinch it tight for an hourglass “dress” look, or let it loose for a relaxed, flowy “kaftan” vibe perfect for the beach.
