Crochet Toddler Dress Pattern

Hello, there! 

Since there were many people asking me for the written pattern, I translated the pattern to a pdf (consisting diagrams, written pattern and step-by-step tutorial).

Here are the pattern:



Crochet Toddler Dress Pattern
Translated by Novelia Ummu Nayfah (La Léh Crochet) 

Materials:
  • Bali cotton yarn in green (2 cakes of @100 grams), white (2 cakes  of @100 grams), and small amount of yellow. FYI, the texture of bali cotton yarn looks like bamboo yarn. You may use other sport-weight yarns.

Ok so I'm wanting to make this dress but I'm having a hard time finding a yarn that would match what you have and I'm getting confused. Our local yarn store doesn't have or even heard of the Bali brand. And everything they have that would be light enough for this summery dress is too thick. Could I make it with embroidery yarn instead? Or another light cotton material that could substitute? Even the sport weight they had seemed heavy to me. is there a link to the specific yarn you used in the PDF? I'm waiting for payday to buy everything to make it You can email me. Jlynnpaulus@gmail

Love the pattern but turned out way to big for my 3 yr old granddaughter! What size does this pattern make?
Unknown said…
I just finished it too. My 5 yr old is tall and skinny so I figure it would fit her. Turned out it was still to big for her. I would say a more average built 5yr old would fit fine in it but it would be too short for my taste so you'd have to make it longer first Maybe repeat round 2 or 3 of thr skirt several times before beginning the increaseing rows. I'd rather shoot myself in the foot than pull out the yarn to remake the skirt, lol but if it works?

Karakteristik Benang Rajut

Di Indonesia, benang yang paling popular adalah benang acrylic wool , atau yang lebih familiar disebut “benang siet”. Namun, sebenarnya jenis benang sangat bervariasi. Berikut diantaranya: 1.       Benang katun ( Cotton yarn ) Sesuai namanya, benang yang umum digunakan oleh para pemula ini terbuat dari serat kapas. Benang katun bersifat dingin, mudah menyerap keringat, lentur, kuat, ringan, dan memiliki banyak varian warna. Benang ini termasuk “benang multiproject ”, karena bisa digunakan untuk berbagai macam jenis rajutan. Misalnya, bros, bandana, pinggiran kerudung, syal, tatakan gelas, tas, sepatu, sandal, dan sebagainya. Berdasarkan varian warnanya, benang katun dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu plain (polos) dan ombre (warna sembur/gradasi). Tingkat kehalusannya pun berbeda-beda antara jenis benang katun yang satu dengan yang lain. Soft cotton , misalnya, adalah yang paling halus diantara benang berbahan dasar kapas. Sementara itu, satu tingkat di bawahnya, ada katun b

Bagaimana Menghitung Harga Rajutan?

Sekitar tahun 2011, terbersit ide untuk memulai usaha yang bisa saya kerjakan tanpa mengganggu aktifitas saya sebagai ibu. Saat itu, saya sedang membuat peci rajut untuk suami. "Kenapa nggak menjual rajutan saja?" pikir saya. Yang menjadi kendala saat itu, tentu saja modal. Sebagai seorang ibu rumah tangga yang tak punya penghasilan pribadi (bahkan tabungan pribadi pun tak punya sepeser pun), tentu modal menjadi kendala terbesar saya.  Minta langsung sama suami? Ah, malu. Saat itu saya beberapa kali bercerita padanya tentang ide saya itu, namun belum juga mendapat respon positif. Ia pun sepertinya masih meragukan bakat saya dalam merajut.
