Super cute dress, but it's way too small for a newborn. I might fit a doll. I used a medium 4 yarn and a 6 mm crochet hook. I tried the 5 mm hook and I crocheted as loose as possible. I can't change the original chain count otherwise the counts will be off and I will get confused. Really too bad because I really like this this dress. Could you please post another video in a bigger size?
Love this pattern. Would you be able to advise me on stitch count and sizing using double knit wool for a 15 inch baby chest. I just can’t seem to make it big enough, thank you
I love this baby dress ! I would love to make this dress in a larger size . I was wondering if I wanted to make it in a 6 to 9 months , how many change would I start with ?
Hi Sheila, unfortunately I can't say off the top of my head, I would have to redo all the calculations. And it also would depend on the yarn and hook size, and crochet tension. I do have several baby dress patterns in different sizes in my pattern shop, but I just realized this one is the only baby dress tutorial I have. I'll try to make another video tutorial for a bigger size dress.
I MADE THIS FOR MY 4 MO GRANDDAUGHTER. I CHOSE A DEEP RASPBERRY YARN, ADDED RUFFLES AT BOTTOM, ADDED ROSE/LEAVES TO BODICE. I FOLLOWED YOUR PATTERN FOR A WHILE THEN CHANGED IT UP A BIT. ENJOYED CROCHETING IT.
I have made a dress for my daughter's Miniland doll using a 4mm hook and it fits perfectly. I am a begginer and this is my first crochet dress 👗, can't believe I managed to make it. Thank you so much!
Aww, how sweet that you made a dress for your daughter's doll and it turned out well! I'm so happy my tutorial was useful! Happy crocheting and Happy New Year!
I was a little confused at first, but after I connected the bodice it turned out so easy from that point. I used Michael's flecks yarn and it turned out so beautiful. I did the same little ruffle on the sleeves on the bottom of the skirt and it's so stinkin' CUTE!! Thank you so much what a simple and easy pattern. What a gift both the written pattern and this tutorial!! Thanks you!!
Thanks for sharing. This tutorial helped a lot even though it said 0-6 months, I followed along and my dress came out a preemie size which is perfect for my reborn preemie doll. I collect them and make things for them I'm so proud of myself that I successfully made a dress. I tried thos same tutorial las month and completely failed. Thanks again for your help.
I love this pattern and want to make it a little larger. Just using a larger hook still makes the bodice a little short for a slightly older baby. Should I add another row of double crochet before I start the ruffle sleeve row?
Just wanted to let you know that I did add another row to the yoke and I think it is just what I needed. It changes the stitch count but gives the same results with the dress just a little bit bigger! I love this pattern! Thanks!
I’m using this yarn at the moment to make a hat, but my goodness, it is dreadful to untangle the skein and make a ball. Unless I’m doing something very wrong. Even hubby couldn’t sort it out and he’s the most patient person I’ve ever met!
Hi Maggie, I'm sorry to hear you had difficulty untangling this yarn. It's been so long since I did it, but I remember my mom helped me (she's quite clever and an experienced crocheter/crafter).
I am loving this dress pattern and this was actually the first dress I have ever crocheted. It was a real simple pattern to follow. However, when I was finished making the dress, it looked a bit small. More like a preemies size. So, I alternated it so it can be a bit bigger.
How did you alter the size? I’m new to crochet, and this looks like it is meant for a doll, not a baby. I have gone through the instructions and there is nothing showing how to adjust for diff sizes. Sorry, I just realized this was a year ago.
@@dyanndedinsky6235 Hey! I made this a year ago, and haven’t made one since. So, with that being said, I can’t remember how I alternated it. I’m so sorry! 😔
I just made this baby dress. thank you so much for the Wonderful and easy to follow tutorial. I love watching all of your videos. You make it so easy for me to do anything the first time.
Hi Martha, unfortunately there is not quick way to make it bigger. I would have to rework the pattern and do all the stitch calculations for a bigger size dress.
@@OlgaPoltava hi Olga it’s ok thank you I actually made it happen. By adding ten more chains. I also changed the bottom of the dress it came out beautiful I kept the top the way you made it .thanks again
I am curious. I want to make this but I only have Caron Simply Soft Yarn, it's a 4 weight yarn. The yarn you are using is a 5 weight. Can you tell me the the measurements if I use a 5.5 mm hook on a 4 weight yarn?
I love this baby dress. My granddaughter is 1 and Id love to know how to enlarge this pattern. I have some of that yarn too & haven’t known what to use it for yet.
Yes, you sure can, but keep in mind your dress will come up much smaller in size. The one that I made is already quite small, and made with lighter yarn, yours will be more like doll size dress.
Hope you and the boys get well soon Am still in Australia and crocheting this cute baby dress for my 6 weeks old grand daughter ..Thanks so much Olga..
I don't have anyone to make this for but it's beautiful! Also, I can't believe it, but I finally see someone hold their hook and working yarn exactly the way I do! I just recently taught myself how crochet holding my hook with the knife grip. It's not as comfortable but I can do it. I noticed when using knife grip, my stitches are smaller and a bit tighter. Anyway, great tutorial! I have saved this tutorial for later in case I need it. Thank you! Love the way you teach.. very easy to understand. 🌼💜🌼
Thank you for your kind words Jamie! This is the way my mom taught me to crochet when I was 7, and that's the only way I know and comfortable for me. I hope you'll have a chance to make this baby dress for some new little angle in the future!
@@OlgaPoltava Even if I don't have someone to crochet it for, I may make it anyway😊 I just learned to crochet about a yr ago on UA-cam and truthfully, it is so much more comfortable for me to hold the hook in the pencil grip. xo
I was taught to hold yarn and a hook more than 60 years ago and this was the "correct" way. it's the only way I can work. I think the pencil grip is way less work but whatever gets the job done is good.
Hi Tammy, I'm so glad to hear you made this dress and you enjoyed the process! Thank you so much for taking your time to leave me a comment! Sending hugs from California to Australia 🤗
I'd like to know how to make it larger if possible. My daughter wears 18-24 months sizes & this pattern would be perfect to use some bulky super soft pale pink & white combo yarn I've been dying to make something for her with! Please let me know if there is a way to make this larger! Thanks
Hi Andrea, unfortunately there is no quick and easy way to enlarge the pattern. The pattern and amount of stitches would need to be reworked and recalculated. I'll try to create a bigger size pattern, but it probably will be after the holidays.
@@OlgaPoltava Thanks for letting me know! That would be awesome! No rush, of course! I'm going to check out some of your other designs & make some things. Happy Holidays!
Hi Olga, super erklärt. Wenn man Grundkenntnisse hat, kein Problem. Werde es größer häkeln. Bitte so weitere Ideen erbringen. Vielen Dank und schönes Wochenende...herzlichst Karin
AS SOON AS I SEEN THESE DRESSES ...I LOVE THEM AND I STARTED CROCHETING IT RIGHT AWAY. I DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THAT BRAND OF YARN --BUT I USED A 4-PLY YARN AND I DID USE A J (6.00)HOOK. I THINK THAT THAT MUST BE A CHUNKY YARN AS THIS DRESS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT WILL FIT A NEW BORN? FOR IT ONLY MEASURES ABOUT 5 1/4 INCHES ACROSS THE BODICE (under the arms).
Hi Bonnie, yes, Caron Pantone is a bulky (category 5, 13 ply) yarn, but it's very soft, and that's why I used it for this baby dress. Otherwise, I would not choose bulky yarn for baby clothing.
I just finished my dress and I love it. I made this for a little girl for her reborn doll. I love the way you explain the end of each row so you don't have wonky edges. I will be checking out your other patterns.
I can't really say from the top of my head, as I made this design specifically for this yarn and only in one size (so that one braid of yarn would be enough). For other sizes, I would have to completely recalculate and rework the pattern.
Caron X Pantone, I believe it's only sold in the US. You can try other bulky (but soft) yarn, but it really has to be chunky/bulky because otherwise your baby dress will be tiny.
Hi Carol, I haven't tried making this dress with Red Heart Supersaver, so I'm not sure. I think it should be similar in size, but the texture might be a bit rougher. I can't really say without trying.
Olga Poltava Hi Im pretty new to crochet. My yarn was DK. Someone told me the one you used is 2 sizes bigger than what I used hence the difference. Thank You x
Thank you! I just realized I don't have it in a playlist. This is the only baby dress tutorial I have on my channel. I am now working on another dress (size 3-4 years old), and once I publish that tutorial I will create a playlist for baby/toddler dresses. Thank you so much for your comment!
Thank you very very much. My daughter is having her first baby and it's a girl. I am going to try this dress out for sure. It looks easy enough. Thank you and know that I appreciate you taking the patience to teach us. You were very good at explaining the work.
Adorable dress..Can make it for a doll too .I enjoy your crochet designs .

Hi Karen, I'm afraid I can't say that off the top of my head. The best way is to make a swatch, then count the stitches, then do the calculations.
I love this baby dress ! I would love to make this dress in a larger size . I was wondering if I wanted to make it in a 6 to 9 months , how many change would I start with ?

I’ll give it a go see how I go it will be my first attempt on making a New born dress...
Too hard to follow. My stitch count was never right. Had to stop and start over several times. Said forget it and frogged it! Sorry! I tried!
Sorry it didn't work out for you!

I've been looking for a tutorial for a baby dress that didn't use a super tiny hook! This one is perfect!
Beautiful .ch 34 u made is how many cm/ inches
Unfortunately I can't remember now, it's been a while since I crocheted this dress.

I have found it , could you please ask I question? How many grams of wool will I need please
Hi Sylvia, I used one braid of Caron x Pantone yarn, which is 3.5 oz or 100 grams.
I am curious. I want to make this but I only have Caron Simply Soft Yarn, it's a 4 weight yarn. The yarn you are using is a 5 weight. Can you tell me the the measurements if I use a 5.5 mm hook on a 4 weight yarn?
I love this baby dress. My granddaughter is 1 and Id love to know how to enlarge this pattern. I have some of that yarn too & haven’t known what to use it for yet.
Hi Julie, I will have to rework and make new stitch calculations to make this baby dress in a bigger size. I'll try to do that after the holidays.
Can I use a weight 3 yarn?
Yes, you sure can, but keep in mind your dress will come up much smaller in size. The one that I made is already quite small, and made with lighter yarn, yours will be more like doll size dress.
Love it so much !
Anyway of upsizing this to fit other sizes? Help! Im in love with this pattern
I have aliza yarn. Want to make 2 year baby dress how much chain i take in begining

Such a cute dress. Thank you for This tutorial. 😊
You are very welcome Charlotte! ♥️
how come when I attempted this the chest is alot smaller than yours ?
Hi Wafa, are you using the same yarn and hook as I did? If different, that could be the reason. Or it could be a different crochet tension too.
