The original model for the book was made in fingering weight yarn, the Crochet Today version is in Sport--this may affect the size of the finished dress--make sure to do a gauge swatch first.

We made up this adorable number from Linda Permann’s new book “Little Crochet.” It’s great for a special occasion or everyday wear for spring and summer.
