- This detailed step by step tutorial will show you how to crochet a pretty baby / girl's dress or top. This dress is worked from the top down and is a suitable project for beginners.
For size 0 - 6 months use a size 5.5mm crochet hook
For size 6 - 12 months use a size 6mm crochet hook
For size 1 - 2 years use a size 7mm crochet hook
For size 2 - 3 years use a size 8mm crochet hook
For my dress I used a 6mm crochet hook and Drops Big Merino yarn.

Thank you for watching x
Just a tip for folks who are making this dress: The pattern and tutorial are GREAT (so easy to follow, even good if you are a beginner and this is your first dress). BUT if you are making this for a newborn or a baby who is on the smaller side, use a smaller crochet hook. I made this dress for my daughter who is a VERY petite 4 month old. I followed the recommended hook size of 5.5, but the dress is GIGANTIC. My daughter is wearing 0-3 month size baby clothes (US sizes) and even a few of her newborn sized clothes still fit. So, I'll likely make this dress again using a 4.5mm (maybe a 5???) crochet hook so that it will be closer to newborn or 0-3 month baby size. If you are making this for a baby shower or as a gift for a newborn, I guarantee the 5.5mm crochet hook will produce a dress that is way too big.
How many rnds?
She doesn't mention it until row 6 or 7, but you should 26 shells on the bodice before you join the sides for the rest of the dress.
for what age of lil’ girl ?
How much yarn you used?
Do you have a written pattern?

Help! I’ve just got to the end of the yoke and only have 24 shells instead of 26!! Don’t know where I went wrong! Probably would have been useful to have stitch count at end of each round. Guess I’ll have to go back and try again!!
I made this dress in 2017 and I still have it. It's so cute!
