Iris Crochet Baby Dress

Iris crochet baby dress

This lovely crochet baby dress is the most adorable piece of clothing for a little baby girl. Crochet dresses can be made in more or less advanced and beautiful crochet stitches and patterns. I have chosen to keep this pattern in relatively simple stitches, which gives an adorable and feminine lace pattern, that is really easy to make, even for beginners.

This dress pattern has a very practical lose and draped fit, and can therefore be used for a very long time. First it can be used as a long dress, and later as a tunic, as the child grows.
