Crochet a sweet little dress for your little child fashion doll!
In less than an hour, you can crochet a sweet little dress for a 4 1/2" child fashion doll.

This dress is worked from top-down. You'll start by working in rows for the top half, then you'll switch to rounds for the bottom of the dress.

*Model used: Kelly by Mattel

(3 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 11) shell - Do 3 (or number called for) dc into 1 st sp. - Eg. 3 shell = 3 dc into 1 st, or 5 shell = 5 dc in 1 st, and so on...

Pattern Notes:
*Odd rows = Right Side of work.
*For all shell rows, each sc will be worked into the sc st from the row before it, and each shell will be worked into the center dc from the shell in the row before it. All other sts between those, will be skipped.
*Shells will get bigger with each row.
*Ignore the 2 sl sts at the end of a round when starting the next one.
