Crochet smock cardigan

Create a beautiful, floaty Over the Rainbow Crochet dress with this easy-to-make pattern, designed especially for children and perfect for warmer days. This light and airy dress is ideal for summer, holidays, special occasions, or everyday wear.

Worked from the top down, this pattern is designed to be adjustable in both size and length, making it a versatile addition to your Crochet pattern collection. Make it in soft cotton for sunny weather, or switch to acrylic or wool for a cosy cooler-season version.

This is also a perfect stash-buster project, using smaller amounts of DK yarn while allowing colours to blend beautifully into the design. It looks just as lovely in rainbow shades, soft pastels, or bold block colours.
