It does size up to 24 months. You could also try to use a larger hook but you might need to play with what size to make to make it work.

[@dovking9872]

This is such a beautiful dress, love love love! I am currently making it in the 12 month old size. Any tips on how to make this for a 6 year old? Would I follow the dimensions for the 24 month old with a larger hook size? 6mm perhaps? Thank you

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

It is tricky sizing up that far. You can increase the hook size but eventually you will start getting big gaps between stitches. Maybe try a size 5 yarn and a larger hook. Make it through row 9 and then check that the top covers the child and that the waist makes it around the child's waist.

[@dovking9872]

Winding Road Crochet You are sweetheart! Thank you

[@elisabethagarces]

Beautiful dress! 😍Is there a way to add sleeves?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Not without really adding to the pattern. Right now the back only has thin straps. Not enough to attach sleeves to.

[@caymusic17]

Hi! I’m hoping you’ll see this; I’m a beginner but between your video tutorial and your written pattern I’m really happy with how this dress has turned out so far! I’m making it for my 2 year old but I’m stuck on row 15, the pattern says after row 15 to ch 2 and turn which means I wouldn’t dc to close the back?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I am so glad you are enjoying the pattern. We will not close up the back until the end of row 16. Then you will use a button to close the top of the dress skirt. If you don't want to use a button you could start slip stitching to the first stitch in an earlier row.

[@caymusic17]

Winding Road Crochet awesome, thanks so much!

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Actually I will have to correct the pattern. You start slip stitching at the end of the row on row 13, so you will slst at the end of the row on row 15.

[@gavlicktaylor2325]

I want this for my self

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I am afraid I did not make adult sizes. Just toddler sizes.

[@jessicaciesco2097]

Did you ever make this for yourself?

[@AnaGarcia-ge9oy]

Beautiful I love it 😍😍 can you tell me for 6 months or smaller please I love you channel

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I didn't make it for super small babies because of the skinny straps. If you want it smaller, you can try one hook smaller and play around with what size you make.

[@iceeheaven3870]

This is a beautiful dress and I just love it. I'm a beginner too. I was wondering why fasten off at the waist? Instead of chaining into a circle to begin the skirt part? Also, will the 12mon. Fit a small 2 year old? My granddaughter will be 2 in August and she has a small frame.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Does the 2 yr old still were size 12 month clothes? On the written pattern there is also an 18 month and 24 month size. We keep the skirt split for a while so that you can use a button closure. This helps with sizing because you can place the button at different places (or add more than one button) to make the top of the skirt tighter.

[@elenaivanova568]

Hi, I love the dress. I tried to make it for a 12-months old baby using a yarn fron group B and hook size 4 but it got really big and right for my 3 years old. So now I need to make is smaller. Can you give me a hint how much smaller?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

You can try a smaller hook to get a smaller size. Make sure you are using a size 4 worsted weight yarn. Here is the link to the written pattern www.windingroadcrochet.com/puff-stitch-crochet-toddler-dress-pattern/ that will give you the gauge information to help you pick the right hook.

[@bellauriarte5056]

Do i keep turning my work after row 15 or do i keep it on the same and work in rounds. Love the pattern

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I turned my work each row.

[@elfie63]

This is super cute! How easy would it be to make this into an adult size?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Very difficult. Basically the entire pattern needs to be reworked for an adult size. It isn't impossible just a lot of work.

[@ludel5527]

Love this dress! Is there a right or a wrong side to this dress or does it not matter because we are turning after each row? Thanks

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

There is not right or wrong side until you add the button. I believe this one does not have button holes, instead you can push the button between any two stitches to make it very adjustable.

Hey great job on the dress, super cute. I am actually making the 18 month size and im stuck at row 9. 26 DC plus 26 DC plus 29 DC does not add up to 82DC, i did not drop a stitch and followed the pattern as written. Can you help me pls.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I am looking at the pattern. You DC into the third Ch from the hook (So 1 Stitch) DC into 25 CHs, DC into 30 STS, DC into 26 CH. Should add up to 82 for row.

[@mochiblz]

I agree. It's not adding up for me either

[@aprilteesdale3146]

@@mochiblz maybe check your previous row. Make sure it has the required amount of stitches

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I would just add an extra stitch into the very last stitch (so an increase) we will be overlapping this part of the dress to make a button flap so it will not offset the dress.

[@patriciah8533]

My little girl want this dress but she is a size 4 so would I just go up a hook size? Even if she has it for a top with jeans or leggings, I don’t think she will care. She just wants it. And I have to say I absolutely love it myself.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Try going up a hook size, but just one hook as the sizes only seem to vary by 1 inch.

[@TomoeTsukikami]

Hi! Im kinda stuck. Cos from the written and video I understand that it will be 25DC before we fo. Then with the ch 24 2dc 23dc 2dc in last stitch only add up to 27dc. But the next row will be like from 3ch 1dc 23dc (24dc) and we reach the middle part before the other ch 24. But I only have 27dc instead of 28dc. Im so confused now. Cos it shd be 24 + 28 + 24 = 76 But from 25dc increase is only 27dc. For my first attempt I thought I did wrongly and frog the whole thing and start over. It is still the same. Kindly advise and clarify. TIA.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I am reading through the pattern and you are correct. You will have 27 DC in the middle. I attempted to correct the pattern to accommodate the error, but I believe doing so will cause more errors. What I would do is just make an increase in the very last stitch of the row you are working. That will correct the stitch count and you will be able to continue the pattern.

[@vickipicard606]

If you want to do one for older kids you have to chain more or add rows

Hey, I'm a bit stuck. I get to row seven and go to start row eight, but the video dress at 8:00 appears to have eight rows. I am wondering if I did something wrong. I've tried restarting but I get the same result..

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

So there are 8 rows worked in the video, but looking that the pattern, Row 8 is the row where we start a new chain and continue one. Since stitch count is important I would Fasten off and make the chain at row 8. Written pattern is here: www.windingroadcrochet.com/puff-stitch-crochet-toddler-dress-pattern/

[@sharonogallagher7897]

Such a cute dress, how can I adjust it for my granddaughter who is a girls size 7 ?

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

I have had the larger sizes asked for quite a bit. The best way to do this is to use a larger hook and maybe a size 5 yarn. At that point you will need to work a few different sizes, just the first 2-3 rows and then compare them to the child's front torso to make sure it covers them. If it does, then continue with the pattern and then check again when you get to about row 10, though you may need to work in a few extra rows to add length to the torso. It will just be a bit of trial and error to find the right combination of hook and yarn size.

[@sharonogallagher7897]

Thank you!

Hi Lindsey, I love this dress and am attempting to make it as we speak. But I'm struggling with Row 11, I end up with 88 stitches (doing 24 months) but I'm suppose to end up with 82. I'm following your instructions to a T. What am I doing wrong? Thank you

You are suppose to end up with 82 double crochet not stitches. So count just your double crochet and see if that is 82 stitches.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

There are a few things that you can do. First look at the pattern to see if it helps at all. Sometimes it may provide a stitch count or something that you missed in the video. Take the dress step by step, most of this is simply repeating the same rows. Stop the video and rewatch a section until you understand it and of course ask any questions in the comments.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Also turn on the subtitles, sometimes I explain what I am about to do then speed up the video while doing it, for example I may simple double crochet in each stitch across.

[@jadebrown5872]

For row 12 I got seven double crochets for the start, does that matter

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

Yes it will matter. You will want to make sure your stitch count is correct before you start the skirt.

I do really love to make this dress but i only have one color of yarn 🥺

[@bong9789]

After row 7 for 18 month olds, there are 27 sts. And then 2 sts are added on row 8, which is 29. And how did it become 30 at row 9? Did I miss something or misunderstood something? Thanks.

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

No it is an error in the pattern. I could fix it, but it would mean redoing the entire pattern and opens up room for more errors to occur. So what I recommend doing is to just add an extra DC to make it 30 in row 9 or add an extra DC in row 10 to make sure that it is 82 DC in row 10. The stitch count is very important when we start the skirt.

Hi I am starting this dress and I am stuck on row 10 and 11. For the 24 months it shows ending count of 88. But for row it shows ending count of 82 but we are increasing with the bubble stitch. I am so confused. Once I followed row 11 I ended with over 100 stitches with the increase. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you so much for your help

[@WindingRoadCrochet]

For the stitch count it says (DC 82). So when you are counting your stitch count for row 11, only count the double crochets. With all the different stitches, counting gets confusing. That is why I am only having us count the double crochets.

[@theaxlgamer1]
