Boho Fringe Dress

Materials:

Yarn: 100% Cotton Yarn, Weight: Bulky (5), approx. 800 yards in total. Use 400 yards in a solid color (cream) and 400 yards in a light color (aqua).
Hook: Size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook.
Scissors.
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.

Gauge:

To ensure your dress fits as intended, make a gauge swatch of 10 stitches in double crochet (dc) and 8 rows tall to measure 4 inches square. Adjust your hook size if necessary to meet gauge.

Abbreviations:

ch - chain
sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet
sl st - slip stitch
sk - skip

Instructions:

Body of the Dress:

Start by chaining 80 stitches (or adjust to your desired width).
Row 1: In the 3rd chain from the hook, make 1 dc. Continue making 1 dc in each ch across. (Total of 78 dc)
Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as first dc). Turn your work. Make 1 dc in each dc across.
Repeat Row 2 until your piece measures 36 inches from the top. This will make the bodice of the dress.

Skirt Section:

Next, you will switch to a mesh pattern. Row 1: Ch 4 (counts as first dc), dc in the next dc, ch 1, sk 1, repeat across.
Continue in this fashion until the skirt measures 24 inches long from your last row.

Fringe Details:

To make the fringe, cut equal lengths of yarn (approximately 20 inches). You will need about 50 pieces.
Take each piece and fold it in half; attach the folded end to the bottom of the skirt section by pulling it through the mesh openings and creating a loop. Pull the ends through this loop to secure it.

Finishing:

Once the fringe is attached, use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends securely.
To block your dress, lightly wet it and lay flat on a clean surface to dry, shaping it as desired.

Optional Variations:

Change the color of the fringe or mix and match colors to give your dress a unique flair!
Add embellishments like beads or sequins to the fringe for extra sparkle.

Your Boho Fringe Dress is now complete! Enjoy wearing your stylish creation and receive compliments everywhere you go.
