Summer Dress with Full Circle Skirt & Cap Sleeves

This sweet little crochet dress features a full circle skirt, shaped bodice and little cap sleeves. The sleeves and hem can be trimmed with a full lacy edging or left plain.

Written instructions are given for 0-6, 6-12 and 12-18 months sizes (16", 18" and 20" chest). However, it is very straightforward to increase the size by working more bodice rows before beginning the skirt.

The pattern is worked in one piece from top down so no seaming is required. There is a button closure at the back of the dress. Length is fully customisable but please note that the yarn requirements quoted are for the short version.

The pattern is written using UK abbreviations although a US conversion chart is included. Images and explanations are given for special stitches and methods.
