This is only for the granny stitch - it doesn't tell you the details of the dress. Based on the photos from the designer and of Taylor, it's two panels to make the dress body, two panels for the sleeves, and the bottom and top are finished off with a SC trim.

[@KristinOmdahl]

There is a second video and free pattern page on the dress (all links in video description): www.kristinomdahl.com/how-to-take-your-measurements-and-crochet-a-custom-fit-taylor-swift-dress-free-crochet-pattern/

Exactly!

[@virginiawilliams9998]

I love that dress and the minute I saw it I knew could make it - but I was waiting for someone to come up with a pattern and some guidance. That someone was you, Kristin. Thank you so much for being so au courant!

[@KristinOmdahl]

I’m working on a video to teach how to make the dress to size. Use this video for getting your gauge measurements. Coming soon!

[@virginiawilliams9998]

@@KristinOmdahl Great, that will be very helpful, looking forward to it.

[@lisaruiz3799]

Kristin I am so happy to see you are back regularly.. 🎉❤❤❤🎉 I do however miss your adventures at the beach 🏖️ but I do understand it can’t be the same always.. welcome back!! 🤗

[@KristinOmdahl]

I certainly will when I can as I love the beach too.

[@lisaruiz3799]

I’m loving this dress!! 👗 Thanks for creating and sharing this beautiful pattern! ❤❤❤

You are so welcome!

[@theastewart6721]

Very pretty Kristin. Thanks for sharing.😊

[@KristinOmdahl]

Glad you liked it!

[@Crochetedbymichi]

I have been making tops with this stitch left and right 😂just so easy and pretty. A dress sounds lovely 🤔 should I start another WIP? 😂

[@KristinOmdahl]

Of course you should 🥰❤️😻🧶

[@Crochetedbymichi]

@@KristinOmdahl 🤭

[@knitsnloops]

do it! 😊

[@susanwilliams7393]

How do you shape the neck

[@caroldean5627]

I am going to attempt this for my 10 year old niece. Hopefully I get the measurements right. She will love it.

[@angieh3036]

Oh I might try since I found this video. I just have to get my yarn first! Thanks 😊

[@KristinOmdahl]

Wonderful! Keep me posted ❤️🧶

[@edithsomogyi]

Thank you, Kristin, this is definitely now in my project queue! But what about the equally gorgeous polo her beau is wearing? Tunisian crochet..? That would be another fabulous make!

[@Chatty_crafter]

Our 13 year old grand daughter is a Taylor Swift fan, I’d love to make that dress for her. I’ve never crouched a dress but I’ll give it a go, thank you for sharing this crochet pattern.🇦🇺

[@ebenezerekowsackey2682]

great job granny😍😍😍😇😇🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

Girl this is gonna be cute!!!!! 🥰

[@kikijoseph3360]

Wow 🎉, you are definitely the only one who explains clearly how to begin a perfect granny stitch 🤗Thank you very much 💐

[@edafonseca2012]

This is not the stitches on the original it is the granny stitch please see the pictures

[@KristinOmdahl]

It’s the same stitch pattern

[@melaniecrochets]

I’m sooo glad you jumped on this. awesome!

[@KristinOmdahl]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@AdolosFlow]

Do you have any tips for creating the scoop neckline?

[@KristinOmdahl]

I think it’s just a slightly wide neckline that drapes

[@KristinOmdahl]

I think it’s just a slightly wide neckline that drapes

[@zahramanasawala9068]

Can this be made using 6ply yarn? As the place where I live is quite humid and 8ply would make it quite heavy/hot.

[@KristinOmdahl]

Yes! Please read free pattern page (link in video description) for modifying info. It can be made in any weight yarn

[@valeriepavlik3269]

Thanks!!

[@KristinOmdahl]

You’re Welcome!

[@melainegouws1200]

My grandma crocheted me a dress like this when I was a young girl. That would be about 50 years ago.

[@KristinOmdahl]

Thanks for sharing!

[@keynankimme1985]

In one of your videos you mentioned a yarn company that matches colors. What is the name of the company?

[@KristinOmdahl]

All the details including yarn links and colors are shared on the free pattern page on my website: www.kristinomdahl.com/how-to-take-your-measurements-and-crochet-a-custom-fit-taylor-swift-dress-free-crochet-pattern/

What kind of yarn did you use? I’m struggling to find the right colours!

G hook? What is that...

[@KristinOmdahl]

4mm

[@miluskadiaz9135]

This is not complete to make the whole dress!

[@KristinOmdahl]

No it’s not a dress pattern, it’s the stitch pattern and stripe sequence

[@maribelhernandez2783]

There's a pattern on ravelry. This video shows the stitch that was used for Taylor's dress

[@toastymornings]

I am buying yarn for this this weekend! Thanks Kristin for the pattern and tutorial 😍

[@KristinOmdahl]

Have fun!

[@mrs.s.5203]

Hi Kristin, on your website you recommend worsted weight, but in this video it looks like you’re using a DK wt? I really like the look of this DK yarn, what brand is it?

[@KristinOmdahl]

I also explained that you can use any weight yarn on the pattern page. Follow the gauge instructions to determine how to achieve your size in any weight yarn. You’ll need approx 50% more yarn than a similar long sleeve top to make the dress, regardless of which yarn you use.

[@mrs.s.5203]

Yes, that I understand. I just wanted to know what brand of lighter weight yarn that you are using in the demonstration.

[@KristinOmdahl]

I think it was Hobbii yarns friends cotton 8/6

[@mrs.s.5203]

@@KristinOmdahlthanks!

[@mirib5007]

I congratulate you, Kristin, for your patience answering these stupid posts.

[@KristinOmdahl]

lol I have years of practice 🤪

[@francesmartinez-ne8rr]

My grandaughter is a swifty. She ask for this dress to use as a bathing suit cover. Is there a design for this using this stitch? Help. I been put to the challenge

[@KristinOmdahl]

I’m working on it and will release soon. Start with this to get your gauge swatch.

[@francesmartinez-ne8rr]

@@KristinOmdahl great thank you

[@ymm424]

So everyone is referring to this being a granny stitch, but I see it as a version of filet crochet.

[@JenniferBintrim]

How much yarn do we need in each color in yards and meters please❔🌸

[@calestablau5956]

Is the website down?? 😭😭

[@KristinOmdahl]

No it’s working for me

[@hy9947]

What yarn are you using?

[@lauracooper1295]

Why does it look like some rows look longer

[@brendachaves6375]

I crochet 37 stitches. I’m struggling to figure out how many stitches per inch to see how many rows are needed for the body and sleeves. I looked at your notes from your website but feel confused to get the right amount to avoid mistakes.

[@naja2314]

Is there a rule on how to decide how many chains we do at the end of each row and between stitches, I guess this is a key on how the work looks , correct?

[@KristinOmdahl]

Yes watch the first video on how to crochet the stitch pattern (link in video description!

[@deborahm7121]

Kristin thanks for sharing this great project I’m going to try this!

[@KristinOmdahl]

Have fun!

Hey Kristen what brand and colors are u using thx fir all u do❣️🌻

Oh wow ❤

[@KristinOmdahl]

Thanks!

[@cheergal556]

A great video, thank you! I'm trying to buy yarn and am unsure how much I would need to make this dress?🥰

[@KristinOmdahl]

Thanks! A lot of factors determine yardage: yarn weight, gauge, size of garment, length of skirt. For a short dress, I would say 50% more yarn than what you’d purchase for a similar sweater.

Neat How do you make the arms ?
