This is another cute little top that I have had on my to do list for a while.
Made with eight strips of granny squares which are joined as you go, each strip is then crocheted together to make the skirt. The bodice is crocheted from the top of the skirt upwards, then the sleeves are made separately and sewn into place.
I embellished the bodice with a simple flower
The flower
magic circle
10 sc into circle, join with ss to 1st sc
10 ch, ss into beg ss, ss into next sc
*10 ch, ss into same sc, ss into next sc* to end
The dress is in five sizes from age two years to ten.
I made the smallest size which turned out smaller than the pattern because I used finer yarn.
It took 126 grams of Dk wool
