Beautiful Crochet Frock for 1.5 to 2 Years Baby Girl, Baby Dress, Make in Any Size

 

Hello friends,

How are you. Preparing for winter in India, right? So if you planning to make a baby frock for your baby or for your grand daughter then here is one beautiful design. I made this for my grand daughter who is 1.5 years old. So I made the frock for 1.5 to 2 years baby girl in Red Heart and Big Twist yarns from USA. Red heart is thick yarn. But in any yarn from India also you can make it comfortably because I had used the hook 3.5 mm and not 4 or 5 mm which is recommended for that yarn also I shall tell every measurement in inches.

It's height is 18", width 12" and weight 243 gm

PATTERN: With light purple make chs 50 (approximately 11").

R1: From third ch make hdc 1 in each st (48 sts) (First 2 chs are not considered as first hdc)

R2: ch2 turn (these ch2 not considered as first dc), [dc1 in 3 sts, (dc2) next] 11 times, lastly dc1 in 4 sts, (59 sts)

R3: ch2 turn, [ dc1 in 4 sts, (dc2) next] 11 times, dc 1 in last 4 sts (70 sts)

R4: ch2 turn, [ dc1 in 5 sts, (dc2) next] 11 times, dc 1 in last 4 sts (81 sts)

R5: ch2 turn, [ dc1 in 6 sts, (dc2) next] 11 times, dc 1 in last 4 sts (92 sts). BO. 

Join dark purple in first st in order to work first row on wrong side.

R6: ch3 (as first dc), skip 1 st, [V means (dc1, ch2, dc1) in next st, skip 2 sts] repeat till end, at last skip 1 st and dc in last st. (30 Vs made)

R7: ch3 (first dc), [fpdc on right part of V, in ch2-sp of V make shell (dc2, ch2, dc2), fpdc on left part of V] repeat till end, lastly dc 1 on last dc-st.

R8: ch3, [make V (dc1, ch2, dc1) in ch2-sp of shell] rep till end, lastly dc 1 on last dc-st.

R9: same as R7.

Now length of Yoke is 4" [If it's not 4" in your case then repeat R8 and R9 again or you may work out one more round before starting this border, means you can work R6 as [dc7, (dc2) next] 11 times, dc4 lastly (103) and then start border.]

Note: For larger size 2.5 to 3 years make yoke 4.5", for 4-5 years make yoke 5".

Here after we shall work in round. Now we divide this in 5 parts as follows.

There are 30 designs (as in R6 there are 30 Vs). Divide them as 4 designs for one back part, place marker in 4th design, skip 7 designs for sleeve, marker in next, 8 designs for back, marker in last 8th design, skip 7 designs for other sleeve, marker in next, 4 designs for other back part (including marker's design).

Join light purple at first st.

R1: ch3, V(dc1, ch2, dc1) in ch2-sp of shell] in 3 shells;

in 4th shell means in marker's shell make (dc1, ch2, dc) then again (dc1, ch2, dc1) in same shell, 

skip 7 designs for sleeve, again in marker's design make 2 Vs means (dc1, ch2, dc) then again (dc1, ch2, dc1) in same shell,

then Vs in 7 designs, again 2 Vs in marker's design, skip 7 designs, 2 Vs in marker's design again, lastly V in 3 shells. dc on last st, join by sl st.

(In all we have 20 Vs and 2 dcs extra)

For larger size make 3chs extra as underarm chs in R1 and in R2 make dc3 on those 3 chs.

R2: ch3 turn, [(dc1 on dc-st, dc3 in ch2-sp of V, dc on dc-st])2 times, ch1] repeat till end, cl. (we have 102 dcs and 10 ch1-spaces)

(In short after every 10dcs we have ch1-sp except first and last where we have ch1-sp after 11 sts)

R3: [dc1 on dc-st, ch1-sp on ch1-sp] repeat till end, cl

R4: ch3 turn, [ dc 1 in 9 sts, dc2 on next, ch1] rep 9 times lastly dc10, (dc2), ch1, cl. (10 sts increased)

Make next 2-3 rounds without increasing then again increase but this time increase at first st out of group of 11 sts, (e.g. (dc2) in first then dc 1 in 10 st)

Make such lower part till the height is 14.5" then we have to make dark purple border again.

In last round we have 8 groups of 13 sts and 2 groups of 14 sts, moreover 10 ch1-spaces.

Total stitches are 130+2+10=142 (considering ch1-sp as st) which is not multiple of 3 so while working first round of border (when we make Vs) always skip 2 sts but at last 3 st. 

Border Round 1 with dark purple: [V(dc1, ch2, dc1) in one st, skip 2 sts] rep 47 times, cl. (Lastly instead of 2sts we have to skip 3 sts)

R2: ch1, [fpdc on right part of V, in ch2-sp of V make shell (dc2, ch2, dc2), fpdc on left part of V] repeat till end, cl.

We repeat the design 2 more times, means make, R3 and R5 as R1 and R4 and R6 as R2.

The beautiful frock is ready.

Crochet Sweater for 0 to 6 months Baby, Crochet for Baby

 

Hello friends, 

How are you? hoping busy and creating some thing new. I have also created a new dress for 0 to 6 months baby. It really looks very cute.

Yarn: Vardhaman Millenium, hook 3.5 mm. Width 8" and height 11".

PATTERN: Make chs 46.

R1: From third ch make hdc1 in each ch (44 sts) (Don't consider ch2 as first hdc)

R2: [dc1 in 3 sts, dc2 in next st] 10 times, dc1 in last 4 sts. (54)

R3: [dc1 in 4 sts, dc2 in next st] 10 times, dc1 in last 4 sts. (64)

R4: [dc1 in 5 sts, dc2 in next st] 10 times, dc1 in last 4 sts. (74)

R5: [dc1 in 6 sts, dc2 in next st] 10 times, dc1 in last 4 sts. (84)

R6: [dc1 in 7 sts, dc2 in next st] 10 times, dc1 in last 4 sts. (94)

R7: [dc1 in 8 sts, dc2 in next st] 10 times, dc1 in last 4 sts. (104)

R8: [dc1 in 9 sts, dc2 in next st] 10 times, dc1 in last 4 sts. (114)

Then divide these stitches in 5 parts.

15 sts for one front part+ 27 sts for one sleeve+ 30 sts for back+ 27 sts for other sleeve+15 sts for other front = 114. Place markers properly.

R1: dc1 in 15 sts, ch3, skip 27 sts of sleeve, dc1 in next 30 sts, again ch3, skip 27 sts for leeve and dc 1 in last 15 sts. (60 sts and two ch3-spaces)

R2: ch3 (as first dc), skip 1 st, [(dc3) in next st, skip 2 sts] rep till ch3-sp, again skip 2 chs and (dc3) in next ch then continue like this, at last skip 1 st, dc1 in last.

R3: ch3 turn, dc1 in same st, (dc3) in each gap between two (dc3) groups, lastly dc2 in last st.

repeat these two rows. Alternately we have to make dc 1 in first and last st and then next time (dc2) in first and last st. repeat till the total length from shoulder is 11", in between you may add strips of different colors as in above picture.

Now let's see how to make border. In this we shall start from first st at neck then complete button band then bottom band and lastly button hole band then BO.

BORDER: Join yarn at first st of neck skip the dc-space distance and [make dc6, then again skip dc-space and join by sl st] rep till the button band is complete. 

Now for bottom band [make dc6 in the middle st out of 3dc-sts, join by sl st at the gap between two dc] rep till other end, lastly border of button hole band as per button band. BO.

SLEEVE: Join yarn at ch2-sp at underarm. 

R1: dc2 in ch2-sp, dc1 on next st (where 3dcs are made), dcs in each gap and stitches, cl (36 sts)

R2: [dc3 in next st, skip 2 sts] rep till end, cl. (12 groups of (dc3))

R3: (dc3) in each gap between two dc3 groups, cl.

R4: same as R3

Then in next round we shall decrease one group of dc3. For that we make dc1 on first gap and last gap and dc1 in the middle st (out of 3 dcs) (Please refer video for this). These 3 dcs though made in separate sts (not in one st ot one gap) (see the photo on left below) still we treat them as one group of (dc3).

R5: then work this round as R4 only treating those 3 dcs as a group. (Now we have 11 groups od (dc3)). (See photo on right below).

R6: and other rounds ahead are same as R5. You may change color of strips if you want.

Then make the border same as that of bottom of main body of the sweater.

Similarly complete other sleeve.

Sew buttons on button band.

The beautiful baby sweater is ready.
