    I love this pattern. Could you tell me what multiple the stitches are made over because I would LOVE to make one but I’m definitely not a Small!! I would have to make it larger.

    I’m not getting the add 22dc every 3rd round. I’m new at reading patterns. Can you explain in more detail or do you have a video.

      Hi Michelle,
      In order for the dress to ‘GROW’ ,You need to ADD an extra 22DC every third round…so if your on Round 40,then when you get to Round 43 you need to add 22DC within that round,like every other ‘square’ your working in…as the design has the squares then the ‘lace’ areas as you work around. so its those square areas where you have to make your increases,just make sure your counts are accurate. I hope I explained it right for you.,.,,,
      Happy Hooking Michelle 😉
