Dress Pattern:

Yoke:

Foundation Loop Chain:

Start with a slip knot, chain 3, then double crochet (DC) into the first chain. This forms the first loop. Continue to chain 3, then DC into the third chain from the hook to create consecutive loops until you reach the desired length based on the size chart. Loop number varies by size.

Row Setup:

Dividing the yoke into panels (front, back, and armholes) using stitch markers.

Repeat Rows:

Alternate between two types of repeat rows to expand the yoke.

Now Repeat Row 1:

Consists of 2 DCs in each loop, with special corner instructions at markers to allow for expansion.

Repeat Row 2:

Follows the stitching pattern but includes corner increases.
Continue alternating these rows until the yoke meets the specified armhole depth on the measurement chart for your chosen size.

Connecting Yoke and Starting Body:

Once the yoke reaches the required armhole depth, connect the pieces to form the armholes by chaining across the gaps while maintaining pattern consistency.
Begin the first few rows post-yoke to create a smooth transition to the body. These rows maintain the established stitch pattern without increases.

Lacy Skirt with Leaf Motif:

Setup Leaf Motif:

Initiate the first row of the skirt by creating leaf patterns at marked points. This involves crafting a combination of stitches that result in leaf shapes, separated by V stitches.

Skirt Pattern:

The body of the dress is made by alternating rows that create the leaf motifs and V stitches. Continue these alternating rows to achieve the desired dress length.
