This summer crochet dress is as easy to make as it is beautiful. Using a shell stitch up top to keep the stitches tight and give it some complexity, I used a double crochet stitch for the skirt part to give it a nice subtle contrast and to help the drape and flow of the dress. This was made knee length but is easy to adjust to the length you'd prefer. I used a linen and pima cotton blend for the piece pictured in the photo. Checked out the pattern for my review of this yarn. Pattern is available in US women's sizes XS-XXL and includes a free video tutorial. *I used a 3mm hook and 4mm hook. Hope you enjoy!

"The Dogwood Flower Top is really made to be styled in multiple different ways. Obviously it is a very summery and warm-weather article, but depending on the outfit it is a part of it can really take on several different looks. I made mine a good length for wearing with high waisted skirts or bottoms, and as you can see the results really range from classy to very bohemian. The almost free-form way that the flowers are joined also makes it just a little bit abstract."

"Get yourself ready for spring with this fun and lightweight crochet tee. The Willow Tee pattern uses the moss stitch you know and love, simple top-down construction and beautiful round yoke to create an unique wardrobe favourite you will want to wear every day! It look good with your casual pair of shorts or jeans but this crochet tee looks just as attractive worn with your favourite skirt. Worked from top-down, completely seamlessly, this design is intended to be worn with -2” to +2” (-5 to +5cm) of ease, depending on your personal preference and can be worked to a cropped or standard length. The pattern uses US crochet terminology."
