Instructions For Dress:
Foundation Chain and Row 1:

Row 3:
- Chain 1 and turn. Start with a single crochet followed by a double crochet across the row.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3:

Remaining Rows:
- Continue with normal rows from Row 43 to Row 105 or until your desired length is reached.
- Switch to a 3mm hook at Row 105 if necessary.
- End by chaining 1, cutting both yarns, and weaving in the ends.
Crisscross Bag:
