CROCHET: This classic sixties shape, close to the waist with a flippy flared skirt, was so flattering and pretty. This look used to be called “dolly rocker”-dolly being slang for a trendy young lady-often in a “girlfriend” context!
It is an easy pattern for a first venture into making crochet garments; creating this simple stylish mod dress. The flared shaping is formed in such a technically elegant way as there is only ONE pattern row. This is repeated throughout, working extra or fewer stitches between the simple pattern groups to give the shaping.
If you can make basic stitch then you can make this dress; so no need to practise with a scarf or headband, when you could make this dress.
A short version would make a cute top or tunic (and of course the stitch pattern can also be used for a scarf if you do need one).
