Children's dress with crochet bodice

DIFFICULTY LEVEL 2

MATERIALS

To make the children's crochet bodice dress, we will use Rubí Bambino yarn colors 002, 003, 004 (1 ball of each), black Rubí perlé; a size 3 crochet hook, 2 black buttons for the eyes, 6 wooden buttons, and cherry-colored fabric for the dress body.

FINAL RESULT

PATTERN

Front

Make 55 chains and 54 single crochet stitches in them. Make 20 rows (approximately 8 cm). Make the armhole by leaving 4 stitches unworked on both sides.

At 11 cm from the beginning, stop working 24 central stitches and continue with the straps, 12 stitches each. We will make them 7 cm long from the neckline.

Back

Since the back of the crochet bodice dress is open, we will make half the number of chains as in the front, and the rest will be the same as the front. The only difference will be the neckline, which we will make a little higher, specifically at 13 cm.

The straps will also be 2 cm longer so that we can attach them as shown in the photo.

Construction and finishing

For the skirt, we will use a cherry-colored fabric. It will be 30 cm long and have a circumference of 90 cm. Gather, sew the closing seam, and hem the bottom.

The next step will be to sew the sides of the crochet bodice we made with Rubí Bambino. And attach the straps by sewing a button on each. In the back opening, make buttonholes and attach the buttons on the other side. Then, sew it to the gathered part of the skirt.

Finally, we will decorate the bodice to resemble a bunny face. We will make two rosy cheeks with two pink single crochet circles. The nose and eyes will be made with black backstitch using perlé. For the eyes, sew two small black buttons. And as a finishing touch, a light blue bow made with 12 chains and 4 rows of single crochet. Twist it in the center and sew it to one of the straps.
