This dress continues from the Crochet Patterned Top.
The stitch pattern is repeated throughout the pattern with increases to the chain/s in between.
The Crochet Patterned Dress is worked using the top down, in the round method. We begin at the neckline, working our way down the yoke and towards the body of the Top. Once we get to our desired length, that’s it, apart from the weaving in of the ends – which, really, is not a lot – we’re done.
