Crochet ROUBD YOLK for a baby dress. How to crochet the top of a baby dress.

How to crochet a round yolk fo a baby dress. This easy to follow tutorial will show you how I make the round yolk for a dress. With this yolk, you can add any pattern for the skirt. To make a smaller size use a premie size uk 3.5mm hook. To make 0 3 months use a 4.5mm hook for every 3 month increments go UP one hook size. you can also
Make it bigger add extra stitches in sets of 18 and divide them as follows 3 to each armhole, 3 to each half of the back and 6 to the front. If you want a fuller skirt, add as many stitches as you need to the waistline AFTER you have joined the armholes.

[@berthagreen2890]

What type of yarn was used

[@deannarenno1634]

Thanks Allison this is very helpful. I need to make a robe for my 18mo old granddaughter. Could this work for that? How many chains should I start with for a 24mo size yoke?

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

OK, Here is what I do, I will try to explain. The easiest way is to measure around a dress you already have that fits her. Make a chain and hold it loosely around the neck of a dress or top that fits her. This should work out well. Follow the increasing as on this video. Hold your yolk up against the dress you're using as a template once it looks big enough put a marker in at the armhole joint area this should give you the correct place to join the armhole sections. Just make sure you count the same amount of stitches for each armhole. I hope you understand what I mean. This is what I do, I use a dress as a template for the size.

Wonderful work, what size is this in the video please?

Greetings Ms Alison, I am Belinda. I like this cresent shape yolk. With a wider neckline, how would I continue this crochet cresent shape, to make a top, keeping the "curved" cresent shape all the way down to the bottom edge of the top!? I think that would be awesome. Thank you!

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

Great idea, Belinda just continue the increase each row with more and more stitches in between the increase as in 5 treble crochet then increase the next row will be 6 treble crochet then increase and so on.

[@LoveEmpress]

@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel Well thank you very much Ms Alison. I should just follow your instructions for the yolk and keep doing the increases as I go...? Sounds easy enough. I'd like the top to slip over my head. Will you create a top like I imagined and make a video on how to make a top like this? I can send you a picture I found of what I have in mind. In the meantime, I will finsih working on the Mesh Blanket stitch! Cheers and Thank You so much for all your help and advice.

Hi, what size is this? Can I follow this exact pattern for a new born baby?? Or is this for toddlers?

[@ace8658]

Hi, i want to make a dress for 7months old baby,, how many chain i need to add? Thank you

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

I would add 20 you will have to fiddle with the count for the arm holes, make your yolk it will look like a doughnut fold it in half with the split to the back and count in on both sides an even number which will look ok for arm holes and mark the spot front and back so when you do the body part do 3 extra chains at the armhole when you do the body part. Thats a rough guess I just did a newborn size ( I don't have any small babies in my family to make them bigger) there are a few other youtube videos with larger sizes of dress if you look on youtube.

[@viviennehamilton7974]

Allisom what size is the 50 chains for? Love u videos! Viv from Renfrewshire xxx

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

3 to 6 months, you can make it bigger simply by using 1 size larger hook. to fit 6 to 12month

[@favouritetutorials1]

Being a beginner what confuses me is which hook size to which yarn. In Australia we go by ply mainly and most baby knitting is in 4ply. I saw in a response to someone else you said any yarn will work but how do you know what hook to use?

[@favouritetutorials1]

I know your talking crochet but knitting is what I am used to which is why I referred to it

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

will the hook size not be on the label too? even if it just refers to knitting needle size use the same size in a hook as the shaft of hooks and knitting needles is the same so a UK 5mm hook shaft is the same thickness as 5mm knitting needles if you know what I mean.

[@favouritetutorials1]

@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel Thankyou so much Alison. I am so very sorry for the late response I only just found this response. I totally understand what you are saying and it makes so much sense. In Australia they only ever seem to put knitting needle size so this information is great. Thankyou

[@roseysherbert58]

Hi Allison can you tell me if you have to do more rows for the bigger size please thank you

[@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

You don't have to. The quickest way I made this bigger was to use a bigger hook one and a half size bigger will move it up in age by 6 months and it still looks lovely and lighter too.

No you will need to add 10 more to the chain, and add 3 each at the arm holes to the number of armhole stitches. to make them bigger.

Cherelles, if you follow the video with your 4 hook and yarn it should work with most yarns, you will see right away how big it will turn out, if its too small go up 1 size of hook.
