Girl’s Spring Dress Crochet Pattern

If you’re looking for the sweetest warm-weather make, this Girl’s Spring Dress Crochet Pattern is it! This dress is worked top-down in a raglan style, which means you’ll start at the neckline and keep crocheting in continuous rounds until you reach the perfect length.

The top of the dress is made with simple single crochet (nice and sturdy for everyday wear!), and then the skirt opens up into a fun, twirly section using cluster stitches for that light, airy texture. To finish it off, we add a pretty scalloped edge along the bottom—because every spring dress deserves a little extra charm!

• Finished with scallops for the perfect spring detail
• Worked top-down (easy to adjust as you go!)
