Designing this girls crochet dress pattern was a labor of love. It took an insane amount of time and multiple attempts but I’m finally satisfied with the result. I designed this whole getup from head to toe as a Halloween costume for my daughter. It is inspired by her favorite cartoon character Star Butterfly. Of course, the girls crochet dress pattern is the star of the show, and it would look just as adorable without the octopus applique if that’s not your cup of tea. The pattern includes sizes 2-10 but I really wanted this dress to fit well for a wide variety of kiddos so I have included detailed instructions on customizing those sizes.

The bulk of this girls crochet dress pattern is worked in the herringbone half double crochet stitch. I chose this stitch because it looks great, it feels great and it makes the fabric drape beautifully. You could choose to use regular half double crochets if you would like but I highly recommend trying the herringbone half double crochet!
