Ch 74 plus ch2 for first dc.

Top part of the Dress

ROUND 1: skip ch3. Dc on 4^th chain from the hook. Dc on each next dc. Round ends with slip st. on 3^rd ch of the round start.

ROUND 2: ch3. Skip 1 dc. On next dc make (Dc + ch2+ dc). Skip 2 dc. Repeat ( ) another time. Skip 1 dc. Make ( ) again. The pattern for this round goes as: skip 1 dc do ( ). Skip 2 dc do ( ). Continue till you come at the first ch3 you made at the beginning of the round. On the same ch of the ch3, make {dc+ ch 1. Round ends with sc on third ch of the first ch3} you now have 30 V stitch patterns.

ROUND3, 4: slip st inside the first V pattern. Ch 3. ((V pattern (dc + ch2 + dc) inside next V pattern)) repeat (( )) all around. Round ends as the one before.

Increase for this pattern goes through increasing the number of dc for each V pattern. The increase goes every fourth round of the previous increase 

ROUND 5, 6, and 7: slip st inside the first V pattern. Ch 3. Dc inside same V pattern. (2 dc+ch2 + 2dc) inside next V pattern and inside all other next V patterns all around. Round ends with 2 dc inside the first V pattern which has ch3 and 1 dc. Ch1. Sc on 3^rd ch of the first ch3 made. 

ROUNDS 8, 9, 10:  Inside first V pattern make slip st. + Ch3 + 2 dc. Make (3dc + ch2 + 3dc) inside next V pattern. Repeat ( ) inside all V patterns all around. You come to ch3+ 2dc you made at the beginning of the round. Inside the same V pattern make 3dc. Ch1. Sc on 3^rd ch of the first ch3 you started the round with.

ROUNDS 11, 12, 13: Inside first V pattern make slip st + ch3 + 3dc. Make (4dc +ch2 + 4dc) inside next V pattern. Repeat ( ) inside all next V patterns all around.  You come to ch3+ 3dc you made at the beginning of the round. Inside the same V pattern make 4dc. Ch1. Sc on 3^rd ch  of the first ch3 you started the round with.

Note: After completing round 13, the desired size is met. If you find that you need more rounds, you may choose one of two options:

A.      Repeat the same pattern in round 13 for another round.

B.      Start a 5 dc V pattern for one or more rounds.

 

Now the pattern comes to separating the sleeves from the top part of the dress.

The total number of V patterns is 30. Nine V patterns go for the front part and another nine patterns go for the back part. The sleeves will have 6 V patterns for each of them. The calculation goes like this:

9 V patterns for the front

9 V patterns for the back

6 V patterns for right sleeve

6 V patterns for left sleeve

9 + 9 + 6 + 6 =30

ROUND 14:  Inside first V pattern make slp st + ch3 + 3dc. Skip 5 V pattern groups. V pattern on next V pattern and on each of next 8 V patterns. Skip next 5 V patterns. V pattern on each of next 8 V patterns.  You come to ch3+ 3dc you made at the beginning of the round. Inside the same V pattern make 4dc. Ch1. Sc. on 3rd ch of the first ch3 you started the round with.

ROUND 15:  Inside first V pattern make slp st + ch3 + 3dc. V pattern on the next V pattern and on each of next V patterns.  You come to ch3+ 3dc you made at the beginning of the round. Inside the same V pattern make 4dc. Ch1. Sc. on 3rd ch of the first ch3 you started the round with.

Repeat ROUND 15 for the next 7 rounds. The total number of rounds after splitting the sleeves will be 9 rounds of V patterns. You may adjust the length of your dress top by adding or decreasing more rounds.

 

CLOSING ROUND:  Turn over (work will go on the back side of the work). *Inside the ch1 space you are at, {make 7 dc by going through only two loops for each, then yo and go through all 8 loops on the hook}. Sc on next dc and on all next 7 dc. Inside the ch1 space repeat {  }*.  Repeat between * * all around. You now have a total of 144 sc and 18 chickpea stiches. The total number must be dividable by 6 in order to go on for the skirt special pattern. Round ends with slp. st. under first chickpea you made. Turn over.

 

 

The Skirt part

Work will go on the front side of the dress. The skirt will be made of two even rows repeated to gain the desirable length

ROUND 1: Note: work on previous sts includes all sc stitches plus the stitches formed under the chickpea pattern st.  Ch3 for middle dc st. 3dc on same next st. Ch1. Skip next st. sc on next st. Ch1. Skip next st.  {3dc on next st. Dc on next st. 3dc on next st ch1. Skip next st. sc on next st ch1. Skip next st} Repeat between {  } all around the pattern {  ] will repeat for 25-26 times. At the end of the round, you come to the ch3 you made at the beginning followed by 3dc. On the st. before the first ch3 make 3dc. Round ends with back post sl st.

ROUND2: ch3 for first dc back post+ch1 for first space. Bpsc on each of next 3 dc. ch3. (Bpsc on each next 3 dc. ch1. bpdc on next dc. ch1 bpsc on each next 3dc. ch3) repeat between (  ) all around. Bpdc on each of the last 3dc. ch1. Bpsl st around the first ch3 you made at the beginning of the round.

Repetition will be for rounds 3 and 4. It is better and more beautiful to finish the skirt with round 4

ROUND 3: ch3 inside the next ch1 space make 3dc. Ch1 sc on next ch3 space. Ch1. (Skip next 3 bpsc. 3dc inside ch1 space. Bpdc on next bpdc. Skip next 3 bpsc. 3dc inside ch1 space. Ch1. Sc inside ch3 space. Ch1). Repeat between (  ) all around until you come to the last 3 bpsc and ch1 space. Skip 3 bpsc sts. 3dc inside ch1 space. Round ends with bpsl st on first ch3 you made at the beginning.

ROUND4: ch3 for first dc back post+ch1 for first space. Bpsc on each of next 3 dc. ch3. (Bpsc on each next 3 dc. ch1. bpdc on next dc. ch1 bpsc on each next 3dc. ch3) repeat between (  ) all around. Bpdc on each of the last 3dc. ch1. Bpsc st around the first ch3 you made at the beginning of the round.

For this pattern, I repeated Rounds 3 and 4 for 5 times. Then I made an increase by making 4dc instead of the highlighted 3dc above. Work with this increase goes for another 5 round pairs. You may add more round pairs to get the desired length.

Finalize the sleeves by adding the Closing Round of the chickpea st. you made at the end of the top part. Work goes like this:

             

Closing Round for the sleeves: turn over (work will go on the back side of the sleeve. The sleeve part consists of 5 complete V pattern st. plus 3dc on each side directly before the closing sts and the horizontal part of the two V pattern sts that are connected together. Start work at the st. before the connecting point. Ch1. Skip the linking st. sc on next st. 2 sc on the horizontal part of the previous V pattern part. Chickpea st on st.  Sc on next st and on each next 6 sts. You come to the ch1 space inside the V pattern st from the last round, make chickpea st inside the ch1 space. {Sc on each next 8 sts. Chickpea inside ch1 space} repeat between { } for another three times. Sc on each next 7 sts. Chickpea inside next st. 2sc around the horizontal V pattern from last round. Sc on next st. Round ends with sl st on first ch1 you made. You have 7 chickpeas and 52 sc. Repeat for second sleeve.

Optional: for the neckline, you may add a simple edge.

Rim: Start at any st. ch1 sc on next st. (ch1 skip next st. sc on next st). Repeat between ( ) all around. Round end with sl st on 1^st ch1 you made.
