How to crochet a little girl's fairy / princess / tutu dress

This step by step tutorial will show you how to crochet a girl's fairy / princess / tutu / party dress.

For my dress I used a 4mm crochet hook, Drops Muskat yarn and 2 meters of fabric.

For size 1 - 2 years use a 3.5mm crochet hook
For size 2 - 3 years use a 4mm crochet hook
For size 3 - 4 years use a 4.5mm crochet hook
For size 4 - 5 years use a 5mm crochet hook
For size 5 - 6 years use a 6mm crochet hook
For size 6 - 7 years use a 7mm crochet hook

To make the skirt of your dress:
-Cut the length of your fabric - this should be double the length that you want your skirt to be.
-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.
-Fold your fabric in half along the shorter side.
-Gather your fabric using a needle and thread along the fold. Make your stitches approximately 1inch apart.
-Measure around the crochet top of your dress and make sure that the skirt is the same length around.
-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.
-Using a needle and thread sew your skirt to the top of your dress.
-Sew up the back of the skirt if you wish.

So cute. I added cotton fabric rather than tulle for my nieces. Nice to find a pattern for an infant and a little girl. I can't wait to see them in them.

Excellent teaching especially for newbies. Clear instructions and clear video.

I made this for an older princess today. I used six layers of tulle before it was not see through. Also, added a quick lining just for modesty sakes. Dress makes up so quick and is so adorable. Directions are clear and easy to follow. Dress can be made in a couple hours.

I love watching your videos. They are so easy to follow and you take your time to show us step by step how to make the item. I love the top of this dress and was wondering if it is possible to add blocks under the shells at the bottom to put tulle strips for a skirt?

Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos! They have taught me sooo much about crochet and gave me the ability to make so many beautiful pieces for my family. most especially my new grandbabies :) may I ask what type of yarn you use? its always so clean (not furry) haha. I dont seembto like my yarn I use because its too furry or something. makes the pieces not look so neat. I hope that makes sense. Thank you again! Your very much appreciated! :)

[gabrielavaknin]

Terrific Video love all your projects. And your accent. If I want to make it for size 6 months what do I do.

[vickiersek]

Your videos are so helpful. I really appreciate how you take the time to explain each step. I'm not a newbie, but there are times when I need to see exactly how a stitch is going to look before I start. I like how you do the explanation and then actually do the work. It makes it so easy to follow your video. Great video. Thank you for sharing your talent. 😁

[josiesbest]

This is a woderful video. Thank you so much, it looks beautiful. Is that pattern worked in multiples of 2 ? So if I wanted to increase the pattern size without using large needes on the dk yarn ? Thank you so much.
