Tribute – 2 for 1 Crochet Sweater and Dress Pattern

Women in retro crochet dress with bunches

This two in one crochet pattern design was inspired by my love of geometry and as a tribute to so many of the beautiful crochet works of the 60s and 70s.

The pattern includes instructions both for a sweater and a dress. Worked from the top down, both items are worked the same to the waist so you can always decide which one to make as you go!

Materials

The pattern is worked using DK yarn and a 4mm hook or size needed to obtain gauge.

I used a Clover Amour Crochet Hook for this project – one of my favourites – learn more about different crochet hooks here.

The item pictured uses Rico Cotton soft DK (in 50g balls, but most DK yarns which meet gauge can be used.

Depending on you chosen size, you will need 8-13 balls (400 – 650g / 890 – 1580m) for the sweater and 11 – 19 balls (550 – 950g / 1350 – 2300m) for the dress.
