I would rate this as a advanced beginner crocheter. A sewing machine is optional but preferable for doing up the side seems and hems. Straight, simple sewing. The crochet bodice is hand sewn on with a simple stitch. One yard of fabric is plenty for the skirt portion with ample left over for another project!

Sizes given in the pattern are for 6 months, 12 months and 18 months. The model in the photo is wearing size 6 months.

Clear, written instructions, no charts or stitch diagrams!

This is a really cute dress! I have made many! Add beaded or pom pom fringe to take it over the top!

Color pictures of three finished products included! Two with fringe!

Please let me know if you have any questions as you go along! I am happy to help!
