Lady Bug Test Pattern!
I designed this for someone who was looking for a Lady Bug theme. It was so much fun to do. I tried to make the pattern easy enough for a new crocheter to follow. I think this will make a good "first big project". If you can double-crochet-- the bodice will be a breeze.
The ease of design should give plenty of growing room. Just cinch the waist with the ribbon for younger toddlers then use it for a cute top as they grow. I think it would look so in the winter with a white turtle-neck and a pair of tights!
I used Aunt Lydia's Fashion Thread size #3; 6 balls of red, 2 balls of black. If you are confused about threads or yarns please see my "favorites" page. Hook size E / 3.50
The finished dress size looks like it would fit a child 1-2 yrs old. Instructions are written in US crochet terms.
This dress is in the final stages of testing, so please email me any errors you find. There should be few, if any :)
