Being a toddler is the cutest stage of her life. It just begs to be photographed to create memories. This Puff Stitch Toddler Dress by Lindsey Dale will be perfect to highlight a little girl’s sweetness!
Choosing the Right Yarn and Hook
To make this adorable crochet baby dress, you will need a medium-weight yarn and a 5 mm hook. The sample used Caron X Pantone Bamboo, but this yarn line is no longer available.
If you don’t have any good substitutes in mind, try Knit Picks Comfy. It’s a worsted blend of pima cotton and acrylic fibers that offers softness, breathability, and a good stitch definition – so exactly what a baby summer dress should be all about.
Puff Stitch Toddler Dress – Pattern Difficulty
As the pattern uses not only basic stitches (the chain, double crochet, single crochet, slip stitch), it is classified as intermediate, but don’t worry. The pattern is well written, and a video tutorial is also included.
The skirt section is adorned with vertical rows of puff stitches, while the hem features a cute scalloped border. You will work this garment from the top down, which allows for length adjustments.

Available Dress Sizes
The pattern is available in 3 sizes: 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months. Additionally, the dress can be easily adjusted at the waist through button placement.
Perfect for Special Occasions or Everyday Play
Whether you’re looking for a true stand-out piece for your little princesses to wear on those big events or a casual summer dress, this handmade garment will do both!
The thin straps keep it light and breezy, so it will keep your baby comfortable even when temperatures outside get high.
Its beautiful textured details, on the other hand, add a touch of elegance to the whole design that, when paired with a fancy headband or cute bow, will result in a charming baby outfit perfect for summer festivals, picnic parties, and more.
