"This beautiful dress is easy to crochet from the top down. The raglan shaping is worked within the stitch pattern. The whole dress is worked in the round and it is completely seamless. Sizes range from 36 to 52 inch bust with ample flounce to showcase the yarn's incredible drape at the hemline. This dress can be worn and styled in a variety of ways. You can adjust the color palette by the color of dress or slip you wear underneath it. Same color slip, or high contrast slip will give you very different looks.

Top Down Raglan Cardigan
To that point, here is a top down crochet raglan, in fact and in name. Truly, this lovely piece will be a joy to make and very functional to wear.
Summer Time Crochet Dress Pattern
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!

Favourite Baseball Raglan

Designed to have 2-4″ of ease this is comfortable enough to wear while playing ball with your kids, but hip and cute enough to wear out with with your friends. It's constructed top down, raglan style, worked intarsia through the yoke. You'll hold 4 balls at once, but won't have to carry any floats! "
