- Introduction to the Dress and Materials Required
Let's talk about the dress and the materials you'll need to make it. The dress in this tutorial is made using a purple Robin yarn, but feel free to use any color of your choice. Along with the yarn, you'll also need a measuring tape, a 2.5 millimeter hook, and a pair of scissors.
- Making the Skirt of the Dress
To start making the dress, we'll first create the skirt. Begin by measuring your hip size using a measuring tape. This will determine the number of stitches you'll chain for the skirt. Once you have the measurement, make a slip knot and start chaining the stitches, keeping in mind that each stitch represents the hip size. Join the ends together with a slip stitch.
Next, we'll be repeating rows of half double crochet stitches for the skirt. Yarn over, insert the hook, and pull through the yarn. Then, yarn over and pull through all three loops on the hook. Repeat this stitch in each and every stitch until you're almost at the end of the row.
- Making the Top of the Dress
After completing the skirt, we'll move on to making the top part of the dress. Find the corners of the dress and skip three stitches on the back of those corners. Attach your yarn and chain two to start a new row.
For the top part, we'll be placing half double crochet stitches inside the big stitch of the previous row, creating a different pattern. Repeat this process, ensuring that the corners are proportional and on the same line. Continue these rows until you're satisfied with the length of the upper piece of the dress.
- Increasing the Upper Part of the Dress
To give the dress a cowl neck, we'll start increasing the upper part. Begin by placing two half double crochets in the same stitch on the first stitch of the row. Chain two and continue placing one half double crochet in each stitch until you reach the end of the row. End the row with two half double crochets on the last stitch.
Repeat this increase row for a few more rows, depending on the size of the bust. You can adjust the number of rows to accommodate a larger bust. This will create a flattering neckline for the dress.
- Attaching the Strap to the Dress
Once you're done with the main body of the dress, it's time to attach the strap. Find the last stitch or the first stitch of the row and use your hook to guide the yarn through. Chain three to create a long strap and secure it to the dress.
Make sure the strap is long enough to provide the desired length. You can adjust the length according to your preference. Repeat this process for the other side of the dress, attaching the strap securely.
