#1 Natural Beauty Dress Crochet Pattern

I crochet for about four years before I took the courage to try making a crochet dress. I was worried that I was talented enough, I was worried about wasting all that time to do it and it didn’t fit well, and I was also worried about not liking it enough to do and wear it. I started trying on crochet dress a few years ago and I must say I’m totally addicted. Give me a few years and I think most of my wardrobe will be handmade crochet clothes. How awesome will that be? If you’re keen to knit your own dresses, here are a few designs I’ve bookmarked in my Etsy account. Just a warning, most of these are pretty complicated (I like a challenge!) So if you want something manageable, try my tee dress pattern.

The lace crochet pattern stitches are delightfully combined for a fabulous dress that is versatile enough to wear to a wedding and spirit-free enough to wear to the beach. We have included a variety of sizes for this flattering beauty.
