This pattern is written “measure yourself” style- meaning it can be scaled to any size you’d like using your measurements, with any yarn of your choosing. This pattern does NOT contain specific stitch counts, sizes, yardage, or gauges!

Classy, flattering, and versatile, Snapdragon is a must-have in any crochet wardrobe! This wrap dress features a deep V-neck, A-line skirt, a textured shell stitch throughout, and your choice of either classic flutter sleeves or long bishop sleeves. The top down, all-in-one-piece construction allows for you to try the garment on as you go, so you can get the perfect fit and length.

This pattern works best with DK weight or finer yarn.

Snapdragon is worked all in one piece, no seaming is required for this project. It is started by creating the back lace panel, then the front panels are directly worked into the foundation row of the back panel to create the shoulders. After completing the front lace panels, a joining round is made to connect the front and back pieces, as well as connect the armholes. The main body is then worked in turned rows, increasing on either end of the front panels to create the wrap style. The bodice width is optionally extended before starting on the skirt, which is made by working increases along the side seams to create an A-Line silhouette. The curved flutter hem is created, then the edges and wrap ties are finished. The yarn is then reattached to each armhole to create the sleeves. Weave in all ends and enjoy your new dress!
