You'll Need:

400 g of white yarn (100% cotton, 280m/50g);

Crochet hook 2.5;

Size:

Used Patterns:

• Bellflower: crochet using scheme 1.
• Forget-me-not: crochet using scheme 2.
• Small flower 1: crochet using scheme 3.
• Small flower 2: crochet using scheme 4.
• Leaves: crochet using scheme 5.
• Auxiliary elements: crochet using scheme 6.
• Relief pattern for the sleeve: crochet using scheme 7.
• Fastening: crochet using scheme 8.

Instructions:

Make 22 bellflowers using scheme 1, 10 forget-me-nots using scheme 2, 5 small flowers from scheme 3, 5 small flowers from scheme 4, 16 leaves from scheme 5, 3 auxiliary elements from scheme 6, and 2 "caterpillar" cords, each measuring 1 m long.

Fasten the completed elements with a "shrimp stitch." Arrange the crochet elements on the dress pattern in an appealing composition, ensuring to fill the entire dress layout. Secure the elements to the dress pattern and begin connecting them into motifs. To connect, you may choose any method you prefer, such as using a hook (slip stitch or chains in arches) or needles (breeds). Once all elements are connected, remove the finished parts from the dress pattern.

Make shoulder and side seams according to the ornament design. Work 1 row of single crochets and then 1 row of "shrimp stitch" along the outer edges of the neck hole and armholes. For the sleeves, create a chain of 130 chain stitches and continue crocheting following scheme 7. After reaching a height of 24 cm from the setup row, continue crocheting according to scheme 7 in order to create the cap of the sleeve. Complete the fastening according to scheme 8 on the bottom part of your work.
