I literally JUST finished making this and I must say it's one of the easiest tutorials I've followed, AND it turned out super cute! Can't wait to bring this with me on vacation next month, thank you!! :D
I just made this with cotton sprouts worsted it came out beautiful. The only thing I did different is change hook size to 5.5 for the last 6 rows it just made it a little tighter under the arms. Thank you so much for taking the time to do tutorials. It is appreciated so much.
Thanks so much for the comparison on the yarns for the two dresses! I'm a beginner and still dont really know the differences but you explained it so well.
I love all your dresses only I want them as a dress for summer and not so „see me thru“ either i turn a dc to hdc or leave out a chain,so I’ll see if that works.
This is the most STUNNING thing I have ever crocheted! I put it on and felt so beautiful and sexy. I’m literally obsessed! Thank you for making a tutorial that was so easy to follow for something so beautiful!!!!
I made this turned out great & so cute Jeggo thank you please put more things up. you made this so easy to follow. & I am very new to crouching Thank you so much❤
Thank you so much!! I am working on a couple of things, I started working full time which is why my channel hasn't had any new tutorials 😢 but I'm determined to keep going, thank you again and I'm so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Super easy tutorial to follow, thanks for sharing! I just started yesterday. I think I made it a little too big accidentally though, it fits good around my hips but it's looking like it will be too big at the bust area. Is there a way that I can decrease the # of stitches as I get to the end of the body part, so when I wear it, the top part will fit tighter? And if you could share how I would be decreasing it by.. that would be great :')
Thank you! Due to the nature of the pattern it would be quite difficult for me to explain how to decrease but here goes😂 The best way would probably be to decrease on the dc rounds (where there aren't any holes) and do dc2together intermittently around. If you did this each time you go to a dc round, the dress would gradually get more fitted towards the top. Keep trying it on as you go so you know whether to keep decreasing or if you've already decreased enough! I would personally decrease by about 10 stitches on each dc round but it depends how big it is / how tall you are and how far along in the pattern you are etc. I hope that helps somewhat 😘
off topic but u are so beautiful and so is the dress :) making this pattern today hopefully for a cute little beach day whenever we have one here in NYC the summer weather hasnt really been too summery haha
I have doubled 3mm yarn and a 7mm hook so that it’s not to transparent and will make stripes cause I don’t think one color will be enough cause am not buying more 🧶 🥰💪🏾
So funny! I hate having to go back to my phone and watch the video before each round so I decided around row 4 to watch the video and write down the pattern. I'm just about to the end and you have it all written out for us! Ughhhrrr! I should have waited a row or 2 more
I always use to have a twist in my starting chain so I began to do the ‘hack’ where you chain up like 10 or 15 then take the working yarn off the hook and put your last chain made on the hook followed by the working chain. Did that make sense? It alot easier especially when you’re working with a very long starting chain
@@jeggocrochet I know I didn’t explain it well lol. There’s a video on crochet crowd under the heading ‘secrets to not twisting your starting chain’ and it’ll have a thumbnail of what I was meaning
This looks beautiful! I am going to order some yarn & give it a go, is aran 100% cotton ok to use? Another question, have you any tutorials on how to make a normal day dress?
Yay thank you! That yarn will be perfect, that's what I used for the dress in the thumbnail 🥰 And no not at the moment unfortunately! I'm currently making one but it's taking me a while 👎
@jeggocrochet hi. Is 4ply cotton for the first dress? And aran for the 1 you make in the video? If any yarn fine as long as its cotton? Sorry for all the questions 🙈
I explain in the video, whichever hook your yarn recommends, go up 1.5mm in hook size. Mine recommended 4.5mm I think so I used a 6mm hook. The usual yarn I use for this dress recommends a 2.5mm hook so I usually use a 4mm hook. Hope that makes sense 😊
Hey lovely I love your tutorials there awesome, can I ask if I can make this pattern straight then join it, I’ve tried so many times but it always twists in the round, even if I straighten the chain, I’m getting so frustrated with myself xx
Hey thank you so much! Yesss you can definitely do this, work back and forth and then just join the 2 sides up together at the end. If you need help with it just add another comment or message me 😘 hope that helps!
Hi there. I am ensuring my work is definitely not twisted but for the 3rd time of trying when I complete the first pattern row the pattern is twisted, any idea what I am doing wrong please?
You must be twisting it unknowingly because that's the only answer. You can work the pattern back and forth if it's easier and then sew it up together at the end 🥰
Yes you would just have to start off with more chains (if you wanted it more flowy at the bottom) and make decreases as you go. Would probably be so cute!
I just started to make this and it was going really good until I bought the pattern. How come after every beginning chain in your pattern you say to "turn" but you aren't doing this in the video? I'm so confused are they not compatible?
Hello, thank you for pointing this out! The first dress I made (when I wrote the pattern) genuinely did turn after every row and I'm not sure why I didn't in this video honestly. It really doesn't make much difference at all but that is a small error from me so I do apologise. You can continue to make the dress either with or without turning (I would continue as you have been). I will update the written pattern as soon as possible to match the video and as an apology I would like to offer you a pattern for free. You can email me at georgiajeggo@gmail.com if you'd like to discuss further with me / let me know what pattern you'd like. I know one free pattern isn't much but I'm a very small business still trying to get myself out there so every review / comment / sale counts. I sincerely apologise and once again, thank you for bringing it to my attention.
@@jeggocrochet thank you so much for your quick reply! You're right it didn't make that much of a difference I just get confused super quick! 🥴 thanks for that clarification 😁
Yes! You could easily do a front and back panel, just half the amount of stitches you need and work back and forth. Make 2 the same and then seam them up at the end so each seam is at the side of your body. I hope that makes sense? Let me know if you need any help 😘
Unfortunately no, I'm sorry! If you struggle to work in the round you can go back and forth and then join it up at the end if that makes sense. I helped someone else out with that in the comments cos they didn't like working in the round so let me know if you have any more questions about that :)
I made this for my daughter. Next time can you please give your height and the finished length of the garment based on your height. Thank you so much for the beautiful tutorial s. Thanks😂
Errrrm I'd say it took me maybe 10-15 hours? I'm not sure exactly, maybe more. It depends on the size of the yarn / hook you are using. The first one I did with 4mm hook and sport weight yarn took longer! Don't give up! You'll get faster as you go and it's worth it 😘
Hi. I have just got to round 5 making the bigger holes & my first what should be square, is pulling & looks more like a triangle if that makes sense, what am i doing wrong? 🤦♀️
@@catdoherty6877 so did you ch5 and skip 2 stitches? The do a tr? If so it may just be that when you get to the end of the round it will sort itself out. If you're still stuck you can email me a photo at georgiajeggo@gmail.com and I can try and help you further 🥰
@jeggocrochet i decided to frog & start again, now i cant get my chain to stop twisting when i join up 🙈 given up for tonight, i will start again tomorrow. Thank you, sorry i ask lots of questions 😅
Hey, you can just do a chain that is long enough to go from the front to the back at the length you want. Attach it at the front and at the back if that makes sense 🥰 glad to hear you are at the strap section!
@jeggocrochet not there quite yet but almost 😊 makes sense, so do a chain & whats the best way to attach it to the dress itself? My minds blank 🤦♀️ sorry i ask lots of questions lol
@jeggocrochet do you have a video of how to do it that way? I cant quite figure out how to just do the chain then slip stitch it in, im probably over thinking it & confusing myself
@@catdoherty6877 so when you make the chain, is that chain attached to the dress? If so, then when the chain is the length you want, keep the hook in the chain that you've just created. Insert the hook into a stitch on the other side of the dress (front or back), yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook. Does that help? I don't think I have a video but if you're still stuck, email me at georgiajeggo@gmail.com 😘
I lost my stitch count and somehow my waist comes inward. I'm guessing I'm decreasing but have started over 3x lol. Can I somehow start again before that point?
Hey, sorry you're struggling! What do you mean can you start again before that point? Do you know what row you're decreasing on? I would just make sure you have the same amount of stitches every single row as something is going wrong somewhere. If you elaborate a bit more I might have some more advice xx
@@jeggocrochet it is the right size before that. I never moved my stitch markers opps. I thought maybe I could count where it is correct and start over from there. Ugh!
@@colleenjones8874 so I'm guessing if you move your stitch markers after each row you should be ok, is that correct? You can definitely count the stitches, and wherever it is that you've made your first decrease, just go back to there rather than starting the whole thing over xx
Love this dress and I’m halfway through it, but I don’t find your tutorial so easy to follow as your hands get in the way of the stitches so can’t see what stitch you’re going in to.
Hey! I would either use a single strand and use a 4mm hook or double strand it and go up to to maybe 5mm or 5.5mm or 6mm hook? Do you know what weight it is? Double stranding it will mean the dress works up faster and will have a chunkier appearance 🥰
No if anything it'll be baggier at the bottom if your hips are smaller! Make sure the beginning chain can fit around your bust but if you don't want it too baggy around that area then make sure the chain sits closer to them if that makes sense. So say your bust was 38 inches, you could make the chain at about 40 inches and then it wouldn't be too baggy around your bust and would drop down and be more swishy at the bottom if your hips were say 34 inches for example. Hope that helps let me know if you need more clarification!
