  • 6 years ago
This step by step tutorial will show you how to crochet a girls fairy / princess / tutu / party dress. \r
\r
For my dress I used a 4mm crochet hook, Drops Muskat yarn and 2 meters of fabric. \r
\r
For size 1 - 2 years use a 3.5mm crochet hook\r
For size 2 - 3 years use a 4mm crochet hook\r
For size 3 - 4 years use a 4.5mm crochet hook\r
For size 4 - 5 years use a 5mm crochet hook\r
For size 5 - 6 years use a 6mm crochet hook\r
For size 6 - 7 years use a 7mm crochet hook\r

To make the skirt of your dress:\r
-Cut the length of your fabric - this should be double the length that you want your skirt to be.\r
-Cut the width of your fabric. This should be very wide as you will need a lot of fabric to make your tutu style skirt. Once you have finished cutting your fabric you should have a very wide rectangle - mine was 60cm x 2m.\r
-Fold your fabric in half along the shorter side.\r
-Gather your fabric using a needle and thread along the fold. Make your stitches approximately 1inch apart.\r
-Measure around the crochet top of your dress and make sure that the skirt is the same length around.\r
-Pin your skirt to the top of the dress, making sure that the seam is at the middle back. I would recommend attaching your skirt between the 8th and 9th row of the top.\r
-Using a needle and thread sew your skirt to the top of your dress.\r
-Sew up the back of the skirt if you wish.\r
