[@michellenash6802]

Great tutorial....thank you for sharing. ***For those of you who are Rt handed...find Bagoday, hooked by Robin, or creative grandma on KZbin -- all 3 channels have great beginner instructions as well as patterns to learn how to crochet. Bagoday and hooked by Robin use the 'knife' hold; creative grandma uses the 'pencil' hold. These are the correct ways to hold your hook, and they also show the correct way to hold your yarn. Tamara Kelly from Moogly does. Rt and Lt. handed tutorials. All of these ladies have a blog, though I'm unsure if Bagoday has a blog. If you're new to crochet it might be a little difficult to follow this lovely young lady...she does beautiful work but how she holds her hook and yarn is a bit unconventional. She's using one hand to work her hook and yarn, which I'm sure she most likely taught herself to crochet. The conventional way is to hold your hook in one hand and yarn in the other. Though I'm amazed at how fast she can move with having to do an extra step of putting the yarn over her hook as opposed to grabbing the yarn w the hook. (I'm not criticizing this lovely young lady. Plz don't take it that way. I just remember starting out, trying to teach myself how to crochet. When I found the women I listed above on YT it was a game changer. Things I didn't understand trying to read finally made more sense when demonstrated. I also recommend the above women bc they do well with the camera work...like this young lady, you can see what they are doing with the angle used here.)

[@crocheting]

[@sydneyringenberg4589]

I love this dress pattern but I noticed a bit too far into crocheting that the foundation chain is super tight around my thighs. If anyone else ran into this problem as well, Gantsilyo Baguio has a video to fix the problem (I think it's called "how to remedy a too tight foundation chain). Was super helpful and made the dress so much more comfortable!

[@ratchef9522]

I ran into the same problem, thanks this helped

[@tmm4828]

The solution i ve found is to start with a hook size up with foundation chain.if the pattern calls for 3.5mm hook ,start with 4.00/4.5 mm crochet hook for foundation chain then change back to 3.5mm after chain

[@TheMike90a]

Thanks for the heads up, I put the chain around my thighs and my yarn had no give (I’m using cotton). I switched to a chainless double crochet and problem solved! Now it’s stretchy. I also did an invisible join and carried my colors up instead of cutting because I’m too lazy to weave in ends and keep adding yarn, way easier and faster and looked more seamless

[@ellehogg8729]

i’ve never seen anyone chain/crochet like that but if it makes my hands hurt less i’ll take it

[@everythingamiyah]

Maybe you’re holding the hook or yarn too tight or your hands are too stiff? It shouldn’t hurt to crochet unless you’re doing it a lot. Edit: Emma P has a video on crocheting basics. That might help if the problem is with your form.

[@ChocolatexCherries3]

[@fashionista.talenista96]

Thank you for your Wonderful Patterns. I'm trying to get my business going, but I'm still researching some things. I'm not a fan of mathematics peruodt. Lol. But I know Crocheting does require Guage swatch. I wish it was easy. I wish. But I will say my measuring tape does help still in a way.

Yes measuring tape is sooo helpful!! Good luck with your business! ❤️

[@neverlandonearth77]

What drew me to wanting to make this dress is because I've seen one like it made with rainbow colors in total hippie fashion. People are making it with pink/purple/orange/red/yellow/green all in one dress. Others are doing Rasta colors, or whatever colors they want. Their patterns are different but the color shift and banding is the same.

Respectfully, you are doing a trebel/triple crochet for the body of the dress, NOT a double crochet. Realized this when my row count matched yours but was much shorter.

[@darlingmillpell2343]

Is she doing a double or tcs

[@daisyvictorianicol4602]

American and English names differ they call a triple a Double x

Are you not doing an extended double crochet? A normal double crochet is pulling through 2 loops and then the 2nd 2 loops.

Hi I love your design. Do you stitch a lining on this inside of the dress or is it safe to wear as it is?

[@Veedelsol]

this was amazing thank you for sharing ! just for clarification, would we hand wash any crocheted clothes ? and are they safe for the washer or dryer ? 😊

You could probably wash on delicate and cold water, but definitely would recommend laying flat to dry. But honestly, hand wash is probably best, depending on yarn material.

Hey! Love the pattern. If your crochet hook is 3.75mm, what size of hook is your yarn suggested for? Would 5mm yarn work with a 3.75mm hook? Thanks

Thank you so much!! And depending on the size you’re making you’ll need anywhere from 2-3 skeins of each color - I would check the label of your yarn to see how many yards are in one, and then make sure you have enough based on the dress size you’re choosing! Hope that helps :)

Hi! Hmm did you happen to check your gauge before? A square of 10 double crochets in length and five rows in height should be about 3” on all sides. It could be that your stitches are smaller than mine, so if you check this to make sure - you can adjust accordingly :)
