Required Stitches

  • sc: Single Crochet

  • dc: Double Crochet

  • sl st: Slip Stitch

  • FLO sc: Front Loop Only Single Crochet

  • BLO sc: Back Loop Only Single Crochet

Step 1: Measurements & Preparation

Before starting, gather the following measurements (in inches):

  1. Circumference: Full hip (for dress) or full chest (for shirt).

  2. Sleeve Circumference: Measure the widest part of your arm.

  3. Armhole Depth: Sleeve circumference divided by 2.

  4. Underarm Width: Sleeve circumference divided by 8.

  5. Front Opening Depth: (Sleeve circumference / 2) – 1 inch.

  6. Neck Opening: Standard is 8.5″ (Small) to 11″ (Large).

  7. Total Length: Measure from underarm to your desired hemline (crop, mid-thigh, or knee).

Step 2: The Foundation and Hem

  1. Foundation: Chain in multiples of 4 + 1 to match your circumference measurement.

  2. Row 1: sc in the back bump of the 2nd chain from hook and each chain across.

  3. Join: sl st to the first sc to form a round (ensure it’s not twisted).

  4. Rows 2–10: Chain 1, turn, and sc in each stitch around. Joining and turning at every row creates a straight seam.

Step 3: The Houndstooth Body

The Houndstooth pattern alternates sc and dc. Change colors every round without cutting the yarn (carry it up the seam).

  1. Pattern Row (Color A): Ch 1, turn. sc in dc of previous row, dc in sc of previous row. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st.

  2. Pattern Row (Color B): Join Color B. Ch 1, turn. dc in sc of previous row, sc in dc of previous row. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st.

  3. Growth: Continue alternating colors and stitches until the piece reaches your Total Length measurement from Step 1.

Step 4: Splitting for the Armholes

  1. Divide your total stitches exactly in half. Place markers for the Front and Back panels.

  2. Back Panel: Work the houndstooth pattern back and forth between markers (no longer in the round) until the height equals your Armhole Depth.

  3. Front Panel: Work the pattern for 1 inch. Then, calculate the center opening:

    • Find the center of your front panel.

    • Leave 6 stitches unworked in the middle for the placket.

    • Work the left and right sides of the front opening separately until they match the height of the back panel.

Step 5: Assembly and Sleeves

  1. Shoulders: Turn work to the wrong side. Calculate shoulder width: (Half total stitches – Neck opening stitches) / 2. sl st the front and back together at the shoulders.

  2. Sleeve Edging: Attach Color A at the underarm. Work 10 rounds of sc around the armhole opening, turning at each round to match the hem style.

Step 6: The Front Placket and Collar

  1. Front Placket (Right): Join yarn in the FLO of the 6 center stitches. Work 6 sc back and forth for several rows until you reach the top corner.

  2. Front Placket (Left): Repeat in the BLO of the same 6 stitches.

  3. The Collar: * Join yarn at the front corner of the neck.

    • Row 1: Work FLO sc all the way around the neck opening. This allows the collar to fold down easily.

    • Rows 2–20: Work regular sc back and forth until the collar is approximately 3–4 inches tall.

Fasten off and weave in all ends. The dress should have a slight stretch and a professional structured collar.
