A Little Spring Time Dress

* * * A funny story to get you started** * - When I was finishing this

dress and working on the chest piece my daughter came out andexclaimed "It has boobies on it! You made the boobies on it!!" - It

made me laugh so hard and I just knew I would have to share. :)

Hook: G

Material: I Love This Cotton

Gauge: 3 rows = 1”, 3 st = 1” (between 3& 4 stitches equals an

inch, not a perfect 3 stitches)

Hints & Tips

- Chains at the start of any row do not count as a st so always put

the first st in the same st as the ch

- When you join with a ch 1 (like when you’ll change colors or start

on the chest piece) you will join with a sl st and a ch 1

- To make counting your rows easier, instead of moving the stitchmarker up, use a new stitch marker for each row.

- When changing color, to keep the rows looking even

but mostly avoid a seam, you will want to sl st to join the last st to

the first st, ch 1 (only 1) and then do the normal st by pulling the

yarn through that stitch and the sl st that joined the two stitches.You will essentially be doing a normal join whenever changing

colors to help keep the rows looking even.

- Though you will repeat round 1 throughout the pattern, you will

notrepeat the chain 1 instruction in round 1 in any round BUT

round 1.

How to change color:- To change color, you will join the final stitch of the round

BEFORE you change color to the first st in that round. You will

then take the second color, join in the same st that you joined to

(so the first st) with a sl st and a ch 1 – one good way to join,

instead of the sl st and ch 1 is a standing sc or a standing dc

Special stitches:- Double stitch decrease – A decrease that uses both a

double crochetand a single crochet to keep the alternate stitch

appearance
