About this pattern

The granny stitch is one of my favorite things to crochet. It's relaxing, it's fun, and it never goes out of style. This dress lets you lean right into that with a piece you can actually wear all over the place.

It's beginner friendly and size inclusive from XS to 5X, with 5 length options so you can go short and flirty or long and flowy. There's also a bonus guide for using any weight of yarn, so you can work with whatever you've got on hand.

Why you'll love it

  • Timeless granny stitch that's relaxing to work
  • Five lengths to choose from, so it's your dress your way
  • Sizes XS through 5X
  • Bonus guide for working it in any yarn weight

I’m so happy with this dress! I was worried it might not be wide enough while I was making the body panel, but after sewing the pieces together it stretched nicely width-wise and actually fits me loosely. So trust the process! FYI, I went for the longest length from the pattern. I skipped 3 groups to start the neckline and it’s still a deep neckline.

I accidentally made it shorter, but it worked out great as a sweater!! And it looks good with shorts, leggings, and pants! I'm going to make a couple more, and I might stick with the sweater length πŸ€”

Very easy to follow pattern. I used the suggestions on making the dress into a v-neck. Just wish I had wider shoulders.

Very fun! I started my 2nd dress already! I had my friend and her daughter try it on. This was the small and my next one is a large. I always struggle with my tight tension but I'm getting better.

Very easy pattern to follow. Now if I had Brianna's body, my dress might have turned out as cute!

Great instructions, works up very quickly. Love this pattern. (Now you need to make the pattern in sizes for young girls - hint, hint.)

I have started crocheting this top in the Taylor Swift colors and am half way through making the front have. I must say, this is probably the best, well explained pattern I have bought. I am using a much lighter weight yarn (3) with a (G) hook and using the sizing chart and explanations provided in the instructions have been able to adjust the pattern for this yarn. I am so excited to see the finished product. Great Job to the designer A++

Brianna is thorough and completely talented. Her accompanying videos are exception in learning skills when I need a visual. Most of my Christmas gifts this year have been from her creations!
