MATERIALS:

Yarn: Algodon Crudo Natural 100% Cotton or you can use any 8/8 cotton yarn – 400 gr

Crochet Hook: 4,5 mm

Size: S (length – 78 cm / 30 1/2 in, chest -38 cm / 14 in, hips – 48 cm / 18 in), this pattern is made-to-measure, meaning that you make it entirely after your own measurements

Stitches used: sl st – slip stitch, ch – chain, sc – single crochet, dc – double crochet, tc – triple crochet, bptc – back post triple crochet

PATTERN:

Measure the fullest part of your chest, minus 8 and divide by 4 and. For example, my measurement is 88 cm,

88 cm – 8 = 80 cm

80 cm / 4 = 20 cm

1/4 of the upper part of the dress – 20 cm

UPPER PART (from the shoulder to the fullest part of your chest) – 4 details

Row 1: ch-10, dc in the 4th ch from the hook (the first 3 chs counts as a dc), dc in next 6 chs

Row 2-7: ch-3 (counts as a dc), turn, dc in next 7 sts (the number of rows depends on the depth of décolleté)

Row 8: ch-3 (counts as a dc), turn, dc in the 1st st, dc in each dc to the last st, 2 dc in the last st

Repeat Row 8 until you reach the desired width. I crocheted 10 rows – 20 cm width.

BODY PART

Connect the yarn to the 1st stitch of any of 4 details, and crochet a row of dc across the bottom of all 4 details.

Start crocheting in turning rounds:

Round 1: ch-3, (counts as a dc), turn, dc in each dc around, join with sl st to top of ch-3.

Repeat Round 1 until you reach your hips (I crocheted 21 rounds) and start increasing:

Increasing round: ch-3, (counts as a dc), turn, dc in next 2 dc, 2 dc in next dc, * dc in next 3 dc, 2 dc in next dc **, repeat from * to ** around, join with sl st to top of ch-3

Repeat Round 1 until you reach the desired length. I crocheted 23 rounds

BOTTOM

With cream yarn start crocheting the 1st round. The number of sts is a multiple of 6

Round 1: connect the yarn to any dc, ch-4 (counts as a tc), bptc in each dc around, join with sl st to top of ch-3

Round 2: ch-1, sc in the 1st st, skip next 2 tc, 6 dc in next tc, * skip next 2 tc, sc in next tc, skip next 2 tc, 6 dc in next tc **, repeat from * to ** to around, join with sl st to top of ch-3

ARMHOLES, NECKLINE

Crochet 2 rounds of sc, after that crochet a row of crab stitches with cream yarn
