Pattern Notes

1) Before you start take a neckline circumference and a bust circumference measurement.

I started with 110 chains for neckline.

2) This pattern is for girl size but you can changed to bigger size by making more or less chains of the foundation chain. Remember that when making your dress bigger you will need more yarn.

3) A Ch 3 at beg of the row counts as dc throughout.

4) Finish each round with sl st to 3rd chain from beginning.

5) The project is made as a one piece. Work in rounds from neck and down.

6) Instructions between two asterisks should be repeated for the remainder of the round
