Additional Notes:

• This dress is worked from the bottom up.

• VERY IMPORTANT!!: When measuring width measurements, stretch your yarn the farthest it possibly goes. Your yarn is going to have some extra stretch to it, so you’ll need to do this to have the best possible fit.

• Ch 3’s count as a double crochet! (so slst into the top of ch 3 on row join)
