I’m happy to announce the first crochet baby dress for 2020 at Soukaina Collections… Little Princess Sara Crochet Baby Dress!

I’m also delighted to tell you that the Complete Set is ready. You can download The ad-free printable PDF on Etsy Here for the Baby Dress only, or Here for the Complete Set (the baby dress plus the matching headband, hat and shoes), or just keep reading to follow the free pattern on the blog…

Did you know that every time I release a brand new baby dress design, I’m excited (for sure) but I’m also a little bit anxious at the same time… until I get the first positive feedback from you. I’m waiting for my readers and customers to tell me that they love it…

The truth is that when I released my first baby dress (the pink baby dress) on the blog a couple of months ago, I didn’t expect that it would become my most popular baby girl design. But YOU told me that you like it and that’s what important.

I can’t even tell you how I’m happy when you share it, and when you actually try it and send me the final picture of your crocheted dress!

Sometimes, you think that you’ve just crocheted the best baby girl dress in the world, then you release it and find out that it’s not the case!

But for this one, I’ve already got a lot of positive feedback because I decided to ask my fellow crocheters on Facebook what they think about my brand new dress while I was doing it and I got dozens of positive feedback.

It’s a wonderful feeling to know that your audience likes your design while you are actually in the creation phase. From now on, I think that I will try to gather feedback before I start crocheting my new design. After all, I make all my designs for you and your little princesses, so knowing what you love before I even start crocheting it the best thing to do.

The Story…

Princess Sara is actually the third crochet baby dress pattern here at Soukaina Collections. I really enjoy designing these beautiful crochet baby girl dresses, I crochet them with love because these little ones look so cute in their dress.

A couple of days ago, I was thinking about my third baby dress, and since the first one was a huge success, I said to myself: why not doing a gorgeous dress like the pink baby dress but slightly different?

After that, I started thinking about the dress color. What my readers like? Orange, green, rose, or pink?

I went on and just asked mum what color she wanted, and in addition, I asked in a few crochet groups on Facebook because I knew my fellow crocheters could help.

In fact, I got dozens of answers, thank you! Some of you told me that for a newborn dress, you preferred a lighter color, while others told me that dark colors are great as well.

The thing is that I had already started the cowl. Someone in the group suggested that I add a line of white to make the red appear lighter, and I did that. Thanks for the great advice.

As for you, feel free to do it in any color, it’s up to you, and don’t forget to show me your completed handmade baby dress on Facebook, Instagram or Ravelry.

Save it to Pinterest!

I’ve designed Princess Sara baby girl dress with three different stitches, the Shell stitch, the Fan stitch, and the Picot stitch. I’ve used the Picot stitch for the neck and arms (as you can see in the color white), and the shell stitch for the skirt part, it’s a beautiful stitch. It makes the dress look gorgeous with a beautiful texture. As for the round with color, it’s made with the fan stitch.

I have used 2 balls of Red color and 1 ball of White color.

You will be able to complete this gorgeous baby dress in just one day. If you start it early in the morning, your little princess will be able to wear it in the evening…

• Lacy Shell Stitch – (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) all in the same stitch ( ch space).

PATTERN NOTES:

If the number is written before the stitch 2 hdc work 2hdc into the same stitch. If the number is written after the stitch hdc 2 work hdc into next 2 stitches.

Repeat what is written in the () as many times as it’s written right after the (). For example: Repeat (2hdc, hdc1) 5 times. It means that you have to repeat the sequence work 2 hdc sts into the same st. 1 hdc into the next one 5 times. And you will get 5 additional stitches by doing that.

The slip stitch does not count as a stitch in the pattern.

Ch 3 does count as a stitch and the 2nd stitch should be in the next stitch.

At the end of each round/row please count how many sts do you have at the end of that round/row.
