Retro Toddler Crochet Dress

January 31, 2009 by Jessica 16 Comments

I’m so excited to share this. It took me about a month to finish (I really took my time to be honest). I had the idea in my head for a while and decided to go for it. I free styled the dress completely and used this pattern to make the headband. I did modify the flower to achieve this look. The yarn I used was Vanna’s Choice Baby in Aqua and Vanna’s Choice in Scarlet (all purchased at Michael’s). I used one skein of the red and a little over three of the aqua.I made a simple tulle skirt to go underneath. I absolutely adore this on my daughter! I have never crocheted a dress before, so I was so happy it came out this way.
"Here I am"
"Are you sure I'm allowed?"
"Yay!"
"Are we done yet? I have places to go to"
Reaching....
I have a bizillion more pictures on my flickr if you would like to see them.
Hope you are having a great weekend!

    Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚ It actually was just a photo set up in our backyard that I did. I cut up flags from wrapping paper from the dollar store, taped them to string, threw paper shredding on the ground and blew up a bunch of balloons. She loved it! Thanks for letting me know about mommy and me. I found one group on meet up that I’m going to try out too.

    Hi! I just stumbled accross your blog a few weeks ago…I can’t even remember what I googled…but it was a happy accident! Everything here is so cute. Just wondering what you think of the Vanna’s choice yarn. I love the colors, but I am so afraid that it will pill! Sometimes the skeins in the clearance bin look a little rough…Thanks! ABY

    “Just wondering what you think of the Vanna’s choice yarn.”

    I have never had a problem with it pilling. Now, I have never washed it though. I like it and I think as long as you take care of it the yarn will be wonderful for you.

    I LOVE this dress!! Turquoise & red is one of my favorite color combos. I’m new to crochet and can’t even imagine being able to “freehand” a pattern for a DRESS of all things! This is awesome!

    Hi Katie ๐Ÿ™‚

    I actually worked on a second one last year and just need to sit down and put together the semi-tutorial for it. It was basically two rectangles for the top and I just kept increasing on the skirt to round it out. I’m hoping to get the tute up this year ๐Ÿ˜‰ If my girls will give me some time lol
