Looking for a cute and comfortable summer crochet dress to show off at the beach or your local music festival? The Cache Coeur Dress is all that and more. Despite how it looks, it’s a beginner-friendly pattern with simple step-by-step instructions.

Cotton bamboo yarn gives this dress it’s beautiful drape, and the loose fit and belt ensure it fits perfectly in every size, XS to 5XL. The cut of the neck is easily adjustable higher or lower.

/PATTERN DETAILS
• Size XS to 5XL, very forgiving thanks to lots of ease
• Beginner-friendly (not even a single decrease)
• Techniques used / Special stitches: Bead stitch, full explanations are given in the pattern.
• US crochet notations

/MATERIALS
• 4 mm / US G – 6 hook.
• Lion Brand Coboo (100g, 50% cotton, 50% bamboo, 232 yards / 212 m): you will need 8 (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 14) skeins in Mauve color.
• Tapestry needle to weave in the ends.

This is a comfy oversized dress fitted with 10 to 15 cm / 4” to 6” ease at the waist (the model has 15cm / 6” ease). The belt can be tightened as you wear the dress to fit nicely at the waist and create an oversized look.

If you want a less oversized look, feel free to go one size down.
