Important: Depending on the yarn weight, the dress can turn out smaller or larger, which is why it is not worked according to stitch count but in cm. The dress is crocheted from top to bottom so that it can be individually adjusted to each size.

Top part: Specifications for the first round: Length of the chain = head circumference 1/2 years - 50-51cm; 2/6 years 52-53cm; 8/14 years 54-57cm S 54-55cm, M 56-57cm, L 58-59cm, XL 60-61cm

1st round: Chain a foundation chain that corresponds to the desired neckline or size, join with a slip stitch to form a round. As an example, I take size 146 and work a chain that is 54 cm long. In the 3rd stitch from the hook and in each following stitch crochet 1 single crochet (sc). End the round with a slip stitch.

2nd round: 3 chain stitches, crochet 1 double crochet (dc) in each of the next 4 stitches, increase in the 5th stitch. i.e. you double every fifth stitch until the end of the row. End the round with a slip stitch.

3rd round: 2 chain stitches, crochet 1 half double crochet (hdc) in the first stitch, 1 chain, skip 1 stitch, work 1 hdc in the next stitch. Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. End the round with a slip stitch.

4th round: 3 chain stitches, crochet 1 double crochet (dc) in each of the next 5 stitches, increase in the 6th stitch. i.e. you double every sixth stitch until the end of the round. End the round with a slip stitch.

5th round: 2 chain stitches, crochet 1 half double crochet (hdc) in the first stitch, 1 chain, skip 1 stitch, work 1 hdc in the next stitch. Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. End the round with a slip stitch.

"8th round: 3 chain stitches, crochet 1 double crochet (dc) in each of the next 7 stitches, increase in the 8th stitch. i.e. you double every eighth stitch until the end of the round. End the round with a slip stitch.

"9th round: 2 chain stitches, crochet 1 half double crochet (hdc) in the first stitch, 1 chain, skip 1 stitch, work 1 hdc in the next stitch. Repeat from * to * until the end of the round. End the round with a slip stitch.

"10th round: double every 9th stitch 12th round: double every 10th stitch 14th round: double every 11th stitch 16th round: double every 12th stitch and so on. In rounds 11, 13, 15, 17, 19... repeat the pattern so you double every other round until desired width. Desired width corresponds to shoulder width (see specifications). I'm crocheting size 146 and my desired width corresponds to 35 cm.

Sleeves: Work according to the formula total width minus chest circumference. My work is a total of 112 cm wide and the chest circumference for size 146 corresponds to 72 cm. 112 cm - 72 cm = 40 cm. I take 20 cm from each side for the sleeves and set the markers. This forms the front part, back part, and 2 sleeves.

Chest circumference sizes: 86/92 51-55cm; 98/104 55-57cm; 110/116 57-59cm; 122/128 60-65cm; 134/140 65-70cm; 146/152 71-76 cm; 34 76-81cm; 36 82-85 cm; 38 86-89cm; 40 90-93cm; 42 94-97cm; 44 98-102 cm; 46 103-107 cm; 48 108-113cm

Sleeve width sizes: 86/92 16-18cm; 98/104 19-20cm; 110/116 20-22cm; 122/128 23-25cm; 134/140 26-28cm; 146/152 29-31cm; 34 32-35cm; 36 35-37 cm; 38 38-41cm; 40 42-45cm; 42 45-47cm; 44 46-48cm; 46 48-50cm; 48 51-53cm

Fasten the yarn at the marker and chain a foundation chain. Sleeve width for size 146 corresponds to 30 cm --> 20 cm + 10 cm (length of the chain) = 30 cm.

Skirt part: Continue crocheting until desired length according to the pattern.
