Stuffed Animal Dress

I made a dress for my stuffed dog because I thought it would be cute and I was bored.

DC means double crochet

SC means single crochet

Stuffed animal to make the dress for. You can also use the same pattern to crochet a human dress, but you'll need a lot more yarn.

Blue and White yarn.

Measure how wide the stuffed animal is at the widest point, mine is eight and a half inches.

Then crochet a ten by three square of DC and measure how many stitches per inch.

Using what you figured out in Step 1 figure out how many stitches you'll need, chain that many, don't join it yet.

Now that you've made your chain double check the length, make sure it goes all the way around, if it doesn't add a few stitches and test again.

Making sure you have the chain all the same direction, join the chain together.

Chain three

DC around

Slip stitch the ends together.

Chain one

SC around

Slip stitch the ends together.

Repeat steps 5 and 6 until it is long enough.

Mark where you want the sleeves to be.

Chain from the front of the dress to the place on the back where you put the other marker.

SC across the chain and along the base between the chain.

Go all the way around until you reach to the paw on the stuffed animal.

Repeat steps 9 and 10 on the other side to make the other sleeve.

Please leave feedback as to what would make this pattern easier to follow, other ideas for projects or tips on easier ways to do things, just please be nice.
