Calico dress
The Calico Dress features a easy 2-row repeat shell stitch with an elegant mermaid tail. Perfect for all those special occasions and parties.
• Format: Detailed step-by-step written pattern with stitch instructions and photos.
• Sizing: Made-to-measure (Completely customizable to your personal height and curves)
• Language & Skill Level: English (US Terms) / Advanced beginner.
You will need any type of 6ply (sport weight) cotton yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook. I used roughly 1500m for the size small (UK 8). The dress can get heavy with the mermaid tail, so if you prefer a light dress, I recommend using a 4ply (fingering weight cotton) instead.
