This pattern gives instructions for a cute crochet top in a V-stitch, with straps, and also for the making of the tulle skirt with ribbons.

The pattern is written for a 20” chest size, but it is really easy to adjust this size up or down by increasing the number of chains in the foundation chain.

You will need approximately 60g of Red Heart Miami DK cotton yarn, and approximately 6m of tulle (180cm wide), or alternatively you can use the rolls of tulle. I have used three colours in my design, red, white and black, with the addition of 3m of a pretty ladybird ribbon. You can of course use your imagination and add ribbons, strips of velvet maybe - give your imagination free rein. Two beautiful ladybird buttons finished off this very pretty dress.
