Notes:
This is one of the easiest and most spectacular dresses you can crochet. Especially for this pattern, I chose a melange yarn that smoothly flows and forms a vertical stripe to make the dress double-faced.
The dress is crocheted sideways, with the number of stitches indicating the length of the dress. The pattern is crochet in a length of 80 cm, but if you want your dress to be a different length, increase or decrease the number of stitches. For this crochet pattern, it must be multiplay by 6+1.
The cut of the dress is a rectangle and for each size you crochet a different number of rows. When you reach the width you want your dress to be on one side, you need to separate the front and back.To make sleeves to the standard width for each size I have added 15 cm for each sleeve or 30 cm in total.
At the height at which you want the sleeve to start (it is different for each size) you crochet chain loops and when you turn at the end of the row, you continue to crochet along the chain. Thus, the rectangle is divided into two equal parts for front and back. Crochet the same number of rows to the end of the piece. You sew the shoulders, the shoulders and the side and your dress is ready.
For sizes S and M, one skein of this yarn will be enough for you, and for all other sizes, the required amount of yarn is 2 balls.
You have several options for how to proceed with the yarn for sizes L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, and 4XL.
The first option is, after finishing the first ball of yarn, directly start with the second - with the thread from the middle or from the outside of the center.
The second option is to crochet with both yarn at the same time - you start with the first color from the first yarn and when it is finished you switch to the same color from the second yarn ball.
The third option is to crochet the front with the first yarn of ball, and start the back with the second. Here, too, you can choose to do it two ways - start both with the yarn on one end of the ball, or start the front with the yarn in the middle and the back with the yarn on the outside of the branch.
With all variants, you will get a different color arrangement result.
