Cinderella’s Pink Dress ~ Free Crochet Pattern

It’s taken me a while to do this post, between crocheting, photographing, and writing the pattern, but here it is at last. I saw the new live-action Cinderella (and LOVED it!) I don’t think it’s in theaters anymore…it’s taken me far too long to post this. Then I got a Cinderella Barbie and decided I needed to crochet some outfits for her. She came in the beautiful blue ball gown, so I made her the pink one, the one that her stepfamily tears up.

Materials

• Small amount of worsted-weight yarn – I used I Love This Yarn in “Pink”, which seemed to be the right shade of pink for this dress.
• H (5.00 MM) crochet hook

Special Stitches

• Extended single crochet (exsc) = Insert hook into stitch, yo, pull up a loop, ch 1, yo, pull through 2 loops.
• 3 triple crochet bobble (3-tr bobble) = *Yo 2x, insert hook into st, yo, pull up a loop, (yo, pull thru 2 loops) 2x*, rep from * to * 2 more times into same st, yo, pull through all 3 loops.

Pattern

Rnd 1: Ch 21, sl st to join. Ch 1, starting in same st, *exsc, 2 exsc* 2x, exsc. Ch 2, sk next 4 ch, sc in next 3 ch, sl st, sc in next 3 ch. Ch 2, sk next 4 ch, exsc in last ch. Sl st to first st. Rnd 2: Ch 2, exsc in same st and in each st around, working through 2 loops of the chain stitches when you come to them. Sl st to first st. Rnd 3: Ch 2, starting in same st, *exsc 2, exsc2tog* around until 3 sts remain, exsc 3, sl st to first st. Rnd 4-6: Ch 2, exsc in same st and in each st around. Sl st to first st. Rnd 7: Ch 1, sc in same st and in each st around. Sl st to first st. Rnd 8: Ch 1, starting in same st, *sc, 2 sc* around until 3 sts remain, sc 3. Sl st to first st.

Rnd 11-15: Ch 3, tr in each st around, sl st to first st. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Sleeves

Rnd 1: Join the yarn to an armhole. Sc around the spare chain stitches, one stitch at the side of the armhole to result in 7 sts. Sl st to first st. This is the RS. Rnd 2: Ch 3, turn, 3-tr bobble in each st around. Sl st to first st. Rnd 3: Ch 1, turn, sc in each st around. Sl st to first st. Rnd 4: Ch 3, turn, 2 tr in each st around. Sl st to first st. Rnd 5: Ch 2, sl st in same st, *ch 2, sl st in next st* around. Ch 1, fasten off, weave in ends. Repeat to make a sleeve on the other side.

Neck Ruffle

Rnd 1: Leaving a long tail for sewing, ch 22, sl st to first ch. Ch 3, starting in same ch *tr, 2 tr* around, sl st to first st. Fasten off, weave in end. Use the long tail to whipstitch the neck ruffle’s starting chain to the dress’s starting chain. Make sure the wrong side of the ruffle is facing, which makes it rufflier. Weave in all ends, and you’re done. Have you seen the new Cinderella movie? There are so many gorgeous dresses I want to crochet! Any requests?
