Easy crochet baby dress patterns for beginners. Here is a short collection of cute and fabulous crochet dresses for babies. If you’ve never tried crocheting or knitting a baby dress because it seems to be complicated then think again because here are some of the easiest and gorgeous crochet baby dress patterns:
1. Crochet sleeper suit
This crochet sleeper set by Abigail Goss of Crotiques is intended for newborn babies up to three-month-old infants. The size can be altered to fit older babies but that would require a bit of an advanced knowledge in crocheting baby dresses. It’s quick and easy to make and has a simple design which makes it pretty. This is ideal for beginners who want to practice their way into the next level of crocheting baby dresses. The pattern comes with a sweet little hat and bloomers which makes it a complete set. Pattern by Abigail Goss, can be downloaded for free from Ravelry.
2. Robe Clara knitted dress
One for the clever knitters, the beautiful and very versatile Robe Clara dress pattern is free and available via Ravelry designed by Elena Canon. All you need to do is simply click on the links we have supplied above, and it will take you straight to Elena’s Ravelry page where you will have access to the pattern. This pattern does recommend using a brand of yarn from the UK which we do not stock so American Yarns would like to suggest using the beautiful Lily Sugarn Cream as a great substitute for this project. Lily sugar n cream is a natural, soft, absorbent, pure cotton. It is an excellent quality cotton and comes in a wide range of bright, vibrant, pastel, neutral colours.
3. Overall Dress
This easy sweet little pinafore overall dress is the perfect addition to add to your little girl’s wardrobe. With a long sleeve top underneath and some tights and boots, your little one will be ready to rock this coming winter. This pattern is available to download for free via Ravelry, courtesy of Dorianna Rivelli from The Lavender Chair. We recommend using Red Heart Super Saver for this project which comes in a great range of colour variations and has a fabulous wash performance making it a great choice when making children’s clothing as we all know how grubby they can get.
4. Knit Colour Block Cross over top
This wrap, crossover top is a sweet new design that will become a staple in your little one’s wardrobe. To knit this cross over top/cardigan, Yarnspiration has this pattern available for you all to download for free. This gorgeous design is easy to knit and the instructions Bernat supply for the pattern are easy to read and follow. Recommending the beautiful Bernat Baby Blanket Tiny yarn for this project which is available in 16 bright, vibrant, soft pastel colours including striping variations you will not be disappointed to how this top turns out.
5. Angel sleeve dress
This is another easy baby dress pattern. It’s very easy and quick, making it perfect if you want to try crocheting a baby dress for the first time. The pattern is based on infant sizes, but this pattern was made so it was easy to adjust the size of the dress. Other than being an easy baby dress, it could also be a gorgeous crochet dress for a toddler. The pattern, yarn recommendations and tutorial can be found here From Bev’s Country Cottage.
6. Bumble Bee Dress
This cute little dress is simply beautiful and easy for you to make your baby girl or give as a gift for a special little one.
