A very simple pattern, suitable for beginners.
I am so getting Summer ready! The Sun has finally got his hat on and there is good vibes all around!
This crochet maxi dress has been on my mind for quite some time but as it was winter and then a very “winter like” spring, I hesitated to get mhook into it for a while.
As soon as I found this knitcraft cotton blend yarn, I knew exactly what it was going to make.
The yarn is so soft against the skin, silky and breathable, it has all the texture and organic feel of a cotton yarn with that bouncy slightly stretchy feel of an acrylic yarn. Its perfect!
My designs always have affordability and ease in mind. If you feel the yarn I have chosen is too pricey, I have a guide to help you choose an alternative.

Unfortunately, as Etsy charges transaction and purchase fees, this item may be priced slightly higher on Etsy.
Finding alternative yarn…
100% cotton yarns can be used. However, this will have less ease and stretch than the yarn used. You may wish to make the next size up in pattern in this case.
Acrylic yarn may also be used but acrylic yarn has upto 4 X the ease. When blocking your project the garment could become too large.
Please take this into account and maybe size down 1-2 sizes in pattern.
