This crochet maxi dress is developed from my Pineapple racerback tank top pattern. I always wanted to design a mermaid-style crochet prom dress so here it is.
It’s a big written pattern with a lot of words. But I hope you don’t take it as a daunting crochet project. Once you get used to the pineapple crochet stitches, it’s just about how much crojo you have xD

Materials: ( I used )
3.5 mm crochet hook
Light weight/ DK yarn: nacre silk ( 500 gr for the sample – size S&M/ 100 gr or 256 yds per skein )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/round instead of ch3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into 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 stitch used:
2dc-V stitch: ( 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc ) into same stitch or space
V stitch ( dc, ch 2, dc ) into same stitch or space
This crochet pineapple mermaid dress pattern fits size S and M ( chest size: 30 to 34 inches )
Skill level: Experienced
Gauge: 9 double crochet stitches x 4 rows approximately 2 inches ( with materials indicated )
