Crochet Baby Girls Rainbow Dress: Abbreviations Used
There are a few abbreviations that are commonly used when crocheting, and it can be helpful to know what they mean. Here are some of the most common abbreviations:
- ch: chain
- sc: single crochet
- dc: double crochet
- hdc: half double crochet
- trc: triple crochet
- sl st: slip stitch
Gauge
As promised, here is the gauge information for the Crochet Baby Girls Rainbow Dress. This pattern is worked in double crochet (dc) using a size F (3.75 mm) hook and worsted weight yarn. The gauge is 12 dc = 4 inches (10 cm).
To achieve the correct gauge, it is important to use the specified hook size and yarn weight. If your gauge is too loose, your dress will be too big. Your gauge is too tight, your dress will be too small.
If you need to adjust your gauge, try going up or down a hook size until you find the right fit. You may also need to adjust your tension when working the stitches.

This crochet rainbow dress is the perfect summertime outfit for your little one! The bodice of the dress is worked in a simple single crochet stitch, while the skirt is made up of colorful rows of double crochet stitches. This dress is sure to be a hit at any picnic or family gathering!
For best results, use a light weight yarn and a size G (4.0 mm) crochet hook. You will also need two buttons for the straps.
Pattern notes:
The bodice of the dress is worked in one piece from the bottom up.
The skirt is made up of four separate panels that are each worked in one piece from the bottom up.
Straps are made by crocheting a chain stitch and attaching it to the bodice with a button.
Stitches Used
There are a variety of stitches used when crocheting the Rainbow Dress for baby girls. The most popular stitches are the chain stitch, single crochet, and half double crochet.
However, there are many other stitches that can be used to create this dress such as the slip stitch, double crochet, treble crochet, and more. Each of these stitches has their own unique look and can be used to create different designs within the dress.
Crochet Dress Instructions
Assuming you have already completed the crochet bodice of the dress (up to the waist), these instructions will show you how to complete the skirt portion of the dress. For this section, you will need toCrochet a rectangle using single crochet stitches.
The width of your rectangle should be equal to the circumference of the waist of the dress, and the length should be twice the desired length of the skirt. Fold your rectangle in half lengthwise and sew or crochet the sides together, leaving an opening at the center of the seam for turning purposes.
Turn your skirt right side out and gather it along the top edge so that it fits snugly around the waist of the dress. Sew or crochet this gathers edge shut, and voila! You’ve completed your very own handmade crochet baby girl’s rainbow dress!
Skirt Instructions
Assuming you would like a content section for the skirt instructions of the Crochet Baby Girls Rainbow Dress:
To start, cut 7 strips of yarn in desired lengths. You will then crochet a chain with each strip until it is the desired width + 1 inch. Once you have crocheted your chains, lay them out in order from lightest to darkest colors.
Now, single crochet in the back loops only across all 7 chains. When you get to the end of the row, turn and repeat until your piece is as long as you’d like. Finish off and weave in all ends.
To attach the skirt to the dress, simply line up the top edge of the skirt with the bottom edge of the bodice and single crochet them together.
Rainbow Applique Instructions
To make the applique, start by drawing a simple rainbow shape onto a piece of cardstock. Cut out the shape and use it as a template to cut seven strips of fabric in graduating colors. Pin the strips together at one end, then sew them together with a straight stitch, using a 1/4″ seam allowance.
Cut a small triangle out of the dark blue fabric for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Sew it to the end of the applique with a straight stitch.
Now it’s time to attach the applique to the dress. Lay the dress flat and position the applique where you want it. Sew around the edge of the applique with a zigzag stitch or blanket stitch.
