we always want to share my new dress design ideas for those people who want to learn and making.I made the same hat/summer hat to match the frock to the same pattern we design a little flower in my own technique.  I think you like and appreciate my new baby dress/frock.

It is a sleeveless baby frock; I used the shell stitch and post double crosai stitch in this baby frock. This is an easy stitch to crocheting easy to add in other designs.i made this for  6 months to 12 months baby girls. In this frock we add 2 colors hot pink and white baby wool with 3mm crochet hook. its start from the neck line from top to bottom, very easy to change in other sizes small or large, for small size less some of the chains, for large size add more chains.
