Red Cotton Dress: By: Jelena Mitić

This document provides instructions for crocheting a red cotton dress. The dress has a fitted top portion from the waist up made of 5 repeats of a crochet pattern. Below the top is an a-line skirt that widens proportionally to the hips through the addition of extra crochet stitches. Straps are attached to the top through a chain and rows of single crochet stitches with picots. The dress is finished by adding picot edging around the bust line, under arms, and back and sewing an elastic band inside the upper back and under arms for a better fit.

Red Cotton Dress

By: Jelena Miti

Crocheted dress from a Russian book of needlework


Materials
Cotton thread for hook no. 3, about 600 gr, hook no. 3

Step 1 Front piece Part A (from waist up)


To make the front part of the dress start crocheting the pattern a little below
the waist (part A on the diagram) from bottom to top. For my size (36 / small)

you need to repeat the sequence 5 times. For other sizes you will need to make a
sample to determine the width.

Step 2 Part B cups


After comleting part A, begin crocheting the
cups (B) separately rows of double
crochet stitches with 3 double crochet

finished together in the middle of the cup.

Step 3 Part C skirt


Now you can start the skirt C, attaching
the thread to the lower edge of part A.

Continue in the same pattern as part A and


as the skirt goes longer, widen it

proportionally in the shape of your hips by


adding extra double crochet stitches in the group of five.
In the picture you can see the first 3
rows of part A (top of picture) and

below them (in the shape of an eye) is


the beginning of part C the skirt
which is crocheted downwards.

After finishing the skirt, make the


back piece in the same way but
without parts B.

Sew the front and back together.

Step 4 Straps
For straps attach the thread to one cup peak
and crochet a chain of desirable length, then

crochet one row of single crochet with picots


at every 7th stitch. Crochet another row of

single cr, and picots in the opposite direction.


Make nother strap in the same way. Sew the
straps to the back of the dress.
Step 5 Edging and finishing

To make the lower edge of the skirt do single


crochet stitches with a picot after every 7th
stitch. Do the same on the upper part of the

dress around bust line, under arms and back.


Finally, sew elastic band on the inside of the

upper back side and under arms for a better


fit around your body because cotton gets loose
after some time of wearing it.
