Instructions

I would rate this as a advanced beginner crocheter. A sewing machine is optional but preferable for doing up the side seems and hems. Straight, simple sewing. The crochet bodice is hand sewn on with a simple stitch. One yard of fabric is plenty for the skirt portion with ample left over for another project!

Sizes given in the pattern for the bodice portion are for 6 months, 12 months ...

Materials

cotton fabric and cotton yarn

What was your inspiration?

I love fabric and yarn! Put them together and you have something really special!

I have made many of these as gifts for new mommies! Pick fabric she loves or in the colors she loves! It will be cherished like a family heirloom, never to be tossed in the thrift store bag!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Add beaded or pom pom fringe under the bodice or at the hem to take it over the top!

Color photos included! One on a model and two with the beaded fringe attached!

This pattern is identical to the Girly Twirly Dress.

Actually, they're OLIVES! Hence the name Olive You! If I remember right, I purchased the fabric at Hancock Fabrics!
