Summer Dress Trio
*Please Read*
Please note on this pattern, because of the weight of the yarn these dresses may stretch out of shape and become longer, I believe that shortening the bodice and changing the yarn to 100% cotton yarn or another yarn that does not stretch much will help. I did not have this pattern available for sale for a long time because of this but due to the increased interest in this pattern I am making it available for free until I get this problem fixed.
This pattern includes instructions on how to make 3 different dresses, one is a dress with ruffles at the chest and around the bottom hem, another is a fun and funky grand square dress that would be great for using up scraps of different color yarn, and finally is the zig zag dress that features a fun zigzag at the hem and a ruffle at the top.
This pattern is written in American terminology and also includes some stitch diagrams to help along the way.

Working in the back loops only; when

into front (closest loop to you) or back (farthest loop from you) only and the remaining loop left
unworked to be used later.
