CROCHET MAXI DRESS

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Hope you all are doing great. Last week I shared this post on the crochet shirt I made. I did mention it was supposed to be a couple's set. So good news, I did make it a couple sets but bad news I switched up on the style. To be honest, I was quite busy and just wanted to make something simple for the woman - me.

So without further ado, let’s get into what I made for myself. This dress was inspired by my excitement for working with basic stitches again and the fact that I don’t own a long crochet dress, which shouldn’t be in my opinion.

Since I chose to just go with a mesh dress, I decided not to mix it up with any cream. Maybe because I am not a huge fan of cream color or maybe because mixing up the colors may take more time, I can’t say, all I know is I am happy with just doing all blue. I will be sharing a step by step process on how I made the dress.

Tutorial
DC - Double Crochet
CH - Chain
ST - Stitch
SS - Slip Stitch
TC - Treble Crochet

Part 1
Row 1: Start with a chain of 7 inches and work DC ch 1, skip 1 st, DC in the next stitch and repeat till end of the row
Row 2: For the next row, start with Ch 4 and 1 DC in the same ST, then CH 1 and place DC in the previous CH 1 space. Repeat till the end of the row and end with DC, CH 1, DC in the last stitch.
Row 3 - 26: Repeat Row 2 i.e make an increase in every row.
Row 27: Repeat Row 26, make 12 chains and close the row with a SS.
Row 28: make a DC Ch 1 DC in the same ST, Ch 1 and make Dc in the Ch 1 from the previous row, repeat till end of the Row and close off with a SS
Row 29: Start with Ch 4 and DC in the 2nd Ch 1 space from the previous row, Ch 1 and make Dc in the Ch 1 from the previous row, repeat till end of the Row and close off with a SS
Row 30 - 47: Repeat Row 29.
Row 48: repeat Row 47 and cut the yarn after closing the Row

Part 2:
Row 49: Attach the yarn where you want the slip to start and make Ch 5, then TC in the chain 1 space from the previous Row. Ch 1 and make TC in the Ch 1 from the previous row, repeat till end of the Row, end with a TC and turn.
Row 50 : start with Ch 5 and TC in the 2nd Ch 1 space from the previous row, Ch 1 and make TC in the Ch 1 from the previous row, repeat till end of the Row,Ch 5 and turn.
Row 51 - 89 : Repeat Row 50
Once you’ve gotten your desired length. Make tassels and attach to the open Ch 5 spaces.

When I was done with the dress, I decided to make a bra and panties with it and at the last minute I decided a ruffle hat would not be a bad idea, so I went ahead and made a ruffle hat too.

Here is how it all came together. I hope you like it.
