Another Crochet Dress, Little Miss Tutu. This is the 3rd Little Miss dress I’ve made, The first one was Little Miss Yarn Ruffles, then I made Little Miss Ruffles and now Little Miss Tutu. This is the last Little Miss Dress unless I get some other idea..
This crochet dress would be super cute if you were to make a matching hat to go with it. There is a free beanie pattern HERE or you can add my lady bella bonnet pattern to match, for the bonnet pattern click HERE

Stitches:
fpsc – Front Post Single Crochet.

Notes:
~Beginning ch 3 counts as first dc of row. Only turn work when specified.
~When first dc of row is made, I put my hoop through the last loop and same space as ch3. The last dc that joins the beg ch3 is also done through the same space. (Image 1 below) It creates a ribbing down the center back of the dress.
~I worked ch up 2 instead of a ch 3 for the first 5 rows, if you’d like to know more about ch up 2, check out my crochet resources page on my blog HERE.

Hello I love your tutu pattern and cannot figure out how to print it
You cannot copy and paste
Pattern download instructions are available here.. http://bit.ly/1g2LQau
Would it be easy to make this in a bigger size? I need a size 6 to, I am a pattern follower and am not sure how to adjust patterns. any help or suggestions are appreciated! Thank you!
The pattern is only available as is. In order for me to make a larger size I would need to make the entire piece again.
Maybe Go Up A Size In Hook To Get A Larger Size Top
That was my question too . How would I enlarge it?
Any idea how much tulle is needed in each color? I could probably guesstimate, lol, but I was going to have my daughter pick it up for me!
If you are buying on the roll (4inch wide), you will need approximately 25 yards of each colour. I usually buy from the bolt because no one around here sells on the roll, I usually buy about 1.5 yards of 60″ tulle of each colour and cut it in half so it’s 30″ then cut 4″ wide strips.
In an earlier comment you told how to print the pattern. I do not see any green print button.
The clean print button is no longer available. Pattern downloads instructions are available here.. http://bit.ly/1g2LQau Please make sure you do not have a pop up blocker on.
Maybe I did something horribly wrong but mine ended up big enough to fit me?!?! Any ideas what went wrong? I used same crochet hook size, same everything.
Sounds like your gauge was off. Do you crochet really loose?
