Crochet Dress Patterns

Crochet dress patterns range from beach cover-ups and sundresses to maxi dresses and children's party dresses. Because dresses are large and heavy, lightweight cotton, linen, or bamboo yarn is essential to prevent stretching. Many designs are lined or worn over a slip, and skirts are often worked top-down so the length can be adjusted.

Do crochet dresses stretch when worn?

Crochet dresses can lengthen because the weight of the yarn pulls the fabric downward, especially with cotton. Choose a lightweight yarn, use denser stitches at the top, try the dress on as you go, and dry it flat.
