Crochet Baby Dress FREE pattern. The little sunshine Baby Dress is crocheted from the top down, and you can make it as full a skirt as you wish. This is an easy baby dress pattern. But with the finishing touches can look top class.
I love to see babies and little girls all dressed up in their finest and nothing screams cuter than a hand-crocheted baby dress or outfit for baby to come home in.

This is an easy baby dress pattern I usually like to make for 1- 3 months.
The instructions are basic but always work out beautifully. Worked from the neck down. I have added some close-up pictures to help guide you. (please note the stitches have been stretched out to let you see the pattern better)
Note: IF you want to make the skirt EVEN fuller you can do 4 sets of shells and skip 1st in between)
Baby Cashmillion 4 ply (UK) Fingering (US)
Hook 3.50mm will measure 16 inches around using a 4.00 mm hook will measure 18 inches around
