If you post a picture somewhere else on the internet of an item that you have made from my patterns, please be kind to provide the direct link to my website. Do not change names of my patterns. I’ve worked hard on these patterns and changing the name does not change the pattern. This is a copyrighted pattern. Be respectful of that fact.
I hook and approx. 8 or 9 oz ww yarn. I used RH Leddie variegated yarn.
Bodice part (make 2)
Ch 45. Row 1: Hdc in the 3rd ch from the hook, hdc across in every stitch. Row
2: Ch 2, turn. Hdc in next stitch. Hdc across in every stitch. Row 3 -27: Repeat
Row 2. Fasten off and weave in ends on first rectangle. Second Rectangle…do not
fasten off. Turn the rectangles vertically. So we you look at it…the short ends
are on the top and bottom and the long ends are on the sides. Now sl st the side
together. Fasten off. Sl st the other side together. Do not fasten off. Turn the
bodice inside out, so now the sl stitches are hidden. With the yarn still
attached, start working around the tube making shells. I made it so the shells
would gently wave, but not curl. I used the 2dc, ch2, 2dc. The next row you make
shells in the ch 2 space. I did 13 rows of shells around.
Straps (make 2)
Ch 25, hdc in 3rd ch from the hook. Hdc across. Row 2: Ch 2, turn. Hdc across.
Row 3: Repeat row 2.
I sewed the straps on.
Sizing: approximately a 4T/4 I make all my daughter's clothes slightly bigger so
that they can be worn for the next year.
If you need it bigger, try using a bigger hook. If you need it smaller, try
using a smaller hook.
