Like an iconic outfit for sunny days – a sundress can be found in every girl’s wardrobe. This sleeveless and flared bottom crocheted dress is made of vibrant-colored, self-striping cotton yarn. I designed it with simple crochet stitches so most crocheters can give it a try.

Materials: ( I used )
3mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: Salmon, pink, and lilac shade ( about 500 gr for the sample – size L/ 150 gr or 656 yds per skein )

Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch (counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 🙂
Special stitches used:
V stitch: ( dc, ch1, dc ) into same stitch or space.
2dc- V stitch: ( 2dc, ch1, 2dc ) into same stitch or space.
