Please, is there a written pattern for this dress? I can’t follow a chart, but I need to make about a dozen of these within the next month for 2 new grandbabies.
No, I have not found a written pattern and am having the same problem. Wishing my mom was still with me so she could tell me how to do it. ALL she had to do is look at something and she had a pattern. I apologize it took so long to answer. I don’t get a chance to get into this often.
Hi all!, most Japanese patterns are just diagrams like these. How it works is that you can take your own measurements and then with that follow the diagram.
So the first diagram deals with the waist down. The shorter panel is the front and your create 2 of these. If you were to follow the original you would chain 53. Next round you chain one (counts as first sc) then single crochet onto each chain. Round 3: chain 3, sc onto the 2nd sc from the round below, chain 2, sc ( skipping one sc from the row below) chain 2, sc onto the next stitch, ch 2 and then sc skipping one stitch and continue (please refer to the diagram while reading this and you will see how easy it is, for me these types of patterns are easier to read than wordy patterns), continue until the end where it ends with a chain 1 and dc. Next round (round 4) chain 3, dc into the first 2 chain from the round below. Chain 1, 3dc cluster, chain 3, 3dc cluster, chain 2, then dc onto the third 2 chain stitch from the round below….. and so on.
Then you follow that and make it as long as your measurements dictate and end with the edging.
I have not tested this particular pattern, it is just how I would read the diagram and I hope this helps others.
