How It’s Made

The dress is worked from the top down, beginning with a half double crochet yoke. The sleeves are separated to form armholes, followed by the body and skirt sections worked in a simple, satisfying stitch pattern.

Surface crochet and lace detailing form the ruffled neckline, adding the perfect finishing touch.

Extensive video tutorials are included to support you through every stage of construction.
