Instructions For Dress:

Foundation Chain and Row 1:

• Make a foundation chain of 35 (ensure it is an odd number).
• Skip the first chain, then alternate single crochet and double crochet stitches until the end of the row.

Row 2:

• Chain 1 and turn. Make an increase in the first stitch by doing a single crochet, double crochet, and single crochet in the same stitch.
• Continue with the pattern of alternating double crochet and single crochet until the last stitch. End with a double crochet.

Row 3:

• Chain 1 and turn. Start with a single crochet followed by a double crochet across the row.

Repeat Rows 2 and 3:

• Alternately work Row 2 (increase row) and Row 3 (normal row) until Row 42. Ensure the size fits by leaving a gap for trying on the dress.

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:

• Work single crochets with lavender yarn following the pattern until Row 22.
• Create about 250 chains for the lace, then slip stitch in each chain down.
• Make single crochets in every stitch at the bottom.

Finishing:

• Create the button using the lavender yarn following the video tutorial.
• Attach the button to the dress as per the instructions in the video.
• Secure the buttons firmly to ensure they hold properly.
