Beach Rills is a fun and striking dress in cotton yarn - perfect for those hazy summer days!

Inspired by the ridges left in the sand by a retreating tide, the dress is worked in Tunisian crochet chevron and wave stitch patterns. Achieving that perfect balance between memorisable yet interesting - throw in colour striping and you’ll always be wanting to hook just one more row.

The sideways construction of the bodice works with the fabric’s stretch, providing a close fit when worn with negative ease, while the skirt has positive ease for that breezy summer style.

From chilling at the beach bar to an al fresco dinner - Beach Rills is your travel wardrobe essential this summer!

Please see the photos for size charts and schematic.

You will need a 4.00mm (or size to achieve gauge) interchangeable hook with a 40cm and 120cm cable with a stopper. The bodice is worked flat and sideways, then stitches are picked up around the waistband and the skirt is worked in the round.
