Baby Ruffled Overall Dress

Download Instantly - $7.00

The style of this dress is taken from the denim overall dress that is a basic part of every baby girl’s wardrobe. The ruffles on the back of the skirt really up the cuteness factor! The pattern is worked with simple stitches, but in many directions. Starting from the top front, you will work your way down, then create the waistband and the skirt, finishing with the top back and the straps, and finally adding the ruffles. It is a good pattern for an advanced beginner, someone who wants a more complicated design without having to remember a confusing stitch pattern.

This adorable owl can be worked up in an afternoon! By adding a pin back, it makes a great accessory, or a magnet for a sweet addition to home or office. Or stitch it onto a top, jeans, poncho – or anything, really!

It can be made using small amounts of leftover yarn, so it is an inexpensive, quick project that is perfect for beginning crocheters who are ready to take the next step into something a little bit more involved, but who aren’t ready to tackle a large project. It is a fun project for experienced crocheters, too!

What you will need for this project:

Basic crochet skills (sc, dc, tr) and ability to read a pattern.
Small amounts of worsted weight yarn.
Color A – body, Color B – body accent color, Color C – foot color, Color D – wings and beak color.
Size G crochet hook
Small crochet hook for toes – I like to use a size B.
Yarn needle
Buttons for the eyes
Options – Make a felt beak and glue it on using craft glue.
Pin back or magnets. If you want to make a pin or magnet fridgie, you will need craft glue and felt, as well as the pin back or magnet pieces.
