Preparation Steps

First things first! Find an old top that you barely wear and measure the bottom circumference. Write down your top measurements. Mine was 42 inches.

Next, you will crochet to the measurement provided by the top. I crocheted a little bit more [just a few centimeters more] just in case. I crocheted to 105 STS.

Next, beginning Row 1.

Crocheting the Rows

R1-R3: SC into all of the STS for all of the Rows; at Row [3], pause your work.

Now you will sew Row 1 onto the bottom of the top utilizing your sewing needle and thread, securing the crocheted piece to the top. Place the end of Row 1 to the BACK of the top, sewing around to reconnect to the BACK once again.

Connecting Row 3 to the other end of Row 3 by SS to start continuing the Round formation.

Creating Rounds

RND 4: DC into the first 5 STS, then into the 6th ST DC [two times] all into the same ST. Repeat this method until the end of the round; at the end of the round, SS to continue work and turning chain accordingly.

RND 5-RND 9: TRC into all of the STS for all of the rounds; at the end of each round, SS to continue work and turning chain accordingly.

RND 10: TRC into the first ST, CH 1, Skip 2 STS, then TRC [three times] all into the same ST. Repeat this method until the end of the round; at the end of the round, SS to continue work and turning chain accordingly.

RND 11-RND 14: TRC into the first ST, CH 1, Skip 2 STS, then TRC [three times] all into the same ST. Repeat this method until the end of the round; at the end of the round, SS to continue work and turning chain accordingly.

At the final Round [14], SS to complete work or continue based on your preference of length for the dress.
