How to crochet and how to join the squares you will find in the description.
After that, start crocheting from the upper part of the dress.
Round 1: join the thread to any corner of the square, ch-3, 1 dc in each ch-1 space and each corner, 7 dc in each ch-7 space, join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 2: ch-1, sc in same space, ch-4, * skip next 3 dc, sc in next dc, ch-4 **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to the 1st sc
Round 3: sl st in the next ch-4 space, pull the loop, 3 dc in same space, 3 dc in each ch-4 space around, join with sl st to the 1 st dc
Round 4: ch-2, a row of reverse sc
The bottom part
Round 1: join the thread to any corner of the square, ch-3, 1 dc in each ch-1 space and each corner, 7 dc in each ch-7 space, join with sl st to top of ch-3
Round 2: ch-1, sc in same space, ch-4, * skip next 3 dc, sc in next dc, ch-4 **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to the 1st sc
Round 3: ch-1, sl st in next ch-4 space, sc in same ch-4 space, ch-10, sc in same space, ch-10, sc in same space, ch-5, skip next ch-4 space, * sc in next ch-4 space, ch-10, sc in same space, ch-10, sc in same space, ch-5, skip next ch-4 space **, repeat from * to ** to the last 2 ch-4 spaces, sc in next ch-4 space, ch-10, sc in same space, ch-5, dtr in same space
Round 4: ch-1, sc in the space of ch-5+dtr, sc in next ch-10 space, * ch-7, sc in next 2 ch-10 spaces **, rep from * to ** to the end of the round, join with sl st to the 1 st sc
Round 5: * sc in next sc, ch-10, sc in same sc, ch-10, sc in same sc, ch-7, skip next sc **, rep from
repeat from * to ** to the last 2 sc, sc in next sc, ch-10, sc in same sc, ch-5, dtr in same space
Rep Round 4-5 until you’ll reach 21 cm or 8 in, end with Round 4, then start increasing the dress to make it wider:
Round 1: ch-1, * (sc in same sc, ch-10, sc in same sc, ch-10, sc in same sc ) repeat once in the same sc, ch-7, skip next sc, sc in next sc, ch-10, sc in same sc, ch-10, sc in same sc, ch-7, skip next sc**, rep from * to ** to the last 2 sc, sc in next sc, ch-10, sc in same sc, ch-5, dtr in same space
Round 2: repeat Round 4, don’t worry if this round looks weird, your next one I can guarantee will be a whole lot better :)
Repeat Round 4-5 until you’ll reach the desired length. I crocheted until 55 cm or 21 1/2 in, cut the thread.
