Materials Needed:
- Green and white medium weight yarn
- Fur yarn for the neckline and arm area
- 5 mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Stitch markers
Pattern:
Panel Creation (Make 2 Panels):
- Start by taking the measurement around your hips. Add 5-6 inches to this measurement for the desired gown width.
- For a 6-year-old child with a hip measurement of 26 inches, add 6 inches for a total of 32 inches.
- Begin by chaining stitches to half of the total measurement, ensuring the total chain count is a multiple of 4 (e.g., chain 61 to achieve 16 inches for one panel).
Starting the First Panel:
- Chain 61 (or the required number to reach half the measurement).
Row 1:
- Single crochet into each chain starting from the second chain from the hook to the end.
Row 2:
- Turn your work, chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet), double crochet into the same stitch. Chain 2, skip 3 stitches, create a 'V-stitch' in the next stitch by making a double crochet, chain 1, then another double crochet into the same stitch. Repeat from to until the end of the row, ending with a 'V-stitch'.
Building the Body:
Row 3 and beyond:
- Turn your work, chain 3, and work a double crochet into each 'V-stitch' space from the previous row. Continue this pattern of chaining 2 and creating 'V-stitches' in each 'V-stitch' space to the end of each row.
- Continue this pattern until the panel reaches the desired length.
- Switch colors as desired, leaving long tails at the end of each color section for joining the panels later.
Joining the Panels:
- Lay both panels side by side and use a yarn needle with corresponding yarn color to seam up the sides, leaving openings for the armholes and potentially a split at the bottom, depending on the design you want.
Finishing the Edges (Arms and Neckline):
- For the armholes and neckline, start with a single crochet edging using the main yarn. Attach with a slip stitch, then single crochet around the opening.
- Once the single crochet edging is done, switch to the fur yarn. Attach with a slip stitch, then work single crochet into the first stitch, skip the next stitch. Repeat from
- to around the entire opening.
- Fasten off and weave in the ends to finish the edging.
