Execution


Transfer the molds to wax paper to use as reference when crocheting the pieces. Pay attention to the arrows in the measurements chart that indicate the direction of the work.


Dress: Crochet front and back at once. Yoke (1st section): using a 2.5 mm crochet hook and Charme in the color Off-white, work vertically to create the yoke. Ch 20 and, starting at the 2nd chain from the hook, work in Stitch pattern (A), following chart 1 and the st repeat. NOTE: the edge where the odd rows begin represents the upper portion of the yoke (neckline); the  edge where the even rows begin represents the bottom of the yoke. The neckline of the yoke (front and back together) should measure 40 cm, while the bottom portion should measure 110 cm.

 

Yoke separation: using a pin or stitch marker, mark the armholes (11 cm) on each side (look at chart 1 from the Measurement charts for a better understanding of this step). Start crocheting the row and ch 3 (1 cm) when you reach the markings, to join the front and back of the body; skip the stitches between the markings. Each ch 3 will form the underarm. FO.

 

Body (2nd section): join the yarn to the right underarm and crochet the body in Lace pattern (B), following chart 2 and its stitch repeat in the round. At 33 cm from the beginning of the work, finish the piece with the border stitch, following chart 3 and its stitch repeat. FO. After finishing the body, crochet the border stitch around the bottom edge of the yoke, following chart 3 and its st repeat in the round. Make 1 row of SC around the neckline.

 

Flower (chart 4): using a 1.25 mm crochet hook and Rubi yarn in the color pink (9288), make a magic ring. 1st row: ch 1, {1 SC, 1 HDC, 2 DC, 1 HDC}, repeat { } 7 more times, slst into the 1st stitch to join the round. FO. Make 9 more flowers and reserve them.

 

Leaf (chart 5): using a 1.25 mm crochet hook and Rubi yarn in the color green (5228), ch 10. 1st row: ch 2, 1 HDC, 6 DC, 2 HDC, 3 SC, 2 HDC, 6 DC, 2 HDC, 3 SC, 1 slst into the 1st stitch to join the round. FO. Make 9 more leaves and reserve them.

Join the appliques as follows: ch 5 (branch), slst to join 2 leaves, ch 5 (branch), repeat. Glue a flower to each pair of leaves. 

 

Assembling the crochet appliques on the yoke: glue the 5 appliques to the front of the yoke. Attach 1 flower to each end of the branch.

 

Lining: cut the knitted fabric according to the measurements chart and attach it to the inside of the garment.
