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.
