You just saved me! I was following a different tutorial for a top where she said she used about 350 yards, and I have about 750 of this one color. When she showed how to make the square, she then said to make THREE more. (The top is like a shirt-dress length and very flowy.) I busted thru more than 2/3 of my yarn in a single square, and figured, well, I have a pretty blanket to give my daughter. I could go buy more of this same yarn, but dang, that's a lotta yarn! Came on your video, see how I can join just 2 squares, and it's still gorgeous this way. Gonna go buy me more yarn and finish this! Thank you!
your tutorials are the absolute best, theyre always so easy to follow but they make the PRETTIEST final products. thanks so much for this one, my sister is moving to a tropical climate and i'm making this for her as a going away present :)
I made a top with four smaller granny squares. I used the s c stitch to join the pieces together but, this concept is another option, the flow is smoother and I love the joining as you go. Thank you for that. I love the yarn as well. I am adding this project to my things to crochet list.😊
@@KatsHooksBrushes One major lesson I have learnt from crafting is, “ Each one teach one.” Regardless of cultures, with an open mind, we do witness and or learn a different way to do a technique. Too many possibilities. 😀
Wow!!!!!!! 😮😮. What a GREAT tutorial!!!!! 💜💜You are so easy to follow with your explicit instructions!! I had NO trouble understanding anything that you said… so EASY to u derstand!!! ❤❤I will be making one, and possibly more than one of these beautiful dresses/beach coverups. Thank you so very much!!!
Beautiful. Just Beautiful. I never knew a granny square could make a beautiful dress. How did you make the straps for the burgundy dress? That's the prettiest dress
I’m trying to find exactly the tutorial I followed for that but couldn’t find it anymore, I usually just search crochet straps, crochet lace strap, or crochet lacy strap/ribbon on RUclips, lol. I hope you find a design you would like. Anyway, it looks like after I did the foundation chain, I made fan stitch, not sure how many double crochets in each fan, then after the first row I turned and did the same on the bottom part or other side of the foundation chain but this time I did the fan stitch on the stitch that I skipped in between fans. I’m so sorry I cannot put it in writing properly, that’s why I don’t make written patters because I’m so bad at it. There are tons of great crochet straps or lace cords here on YT, I hope you find one that you will like. Anyway, thank you so much for the feedback. Sorry, I couldn’t help with the straps. ❤️
thank you so much for the instruktions. I finished mine yesterday. ( i did the straps crossing in the back ) made it with a hook 3 and its just so formfitting and beautifull :3
It’s easy but time consuming to make the 2 granny squares since I used the lace/fingering weight yarn but after that the assembly is easy since you can connect the squares however you want and choose whatever type of strap. Hope you’d be able to make your own version when you’re ready. 😊❤️
Grazie mille! Mi piace anche quanto sia semplice un quadrato della nonna, eppure possiamo farne un vestito. Ho un nuovo tutorial su questo canale, anch'esso un abito quadrato della nonna, si chiama Kendall Summer Dress.
Ooooh my so creatively beautiful and simple I love d granny stitch it's my favourite thing to crochet I love doing granny squares and is working on one right now so am gon make my dress as soon as I finish my squares . Thank u so much for sharing I am gon make for my grand daughters . I have been looking for a simple granny square dress on u tube for a long time up until now you're d only one I can understand. Had to subscribe right away please can u create more dresses that are very simple to make
Omg I so love it 😍😍 this is why I love granny squares because of the endless possibilities and design u can make with it!! How long does it take to make one square?
Oh, I can’t remember exactly but it’s definitely at least 8 hours for a big one because I’m not really a fast crocheter. It usually takes me 3 to 4 days to finish a dress, so maybe in total around 20 hours. Anyway, I hope you don’t get discouraged because of the work hours, it is indeed a big crochet project to make. Thank you so much!!! Happy crocheting!
@@KatsHooksBrushes i dont mind long hours of work in crocheting.. im even in the middle of making a hexagon cardigan using a fine cotton yarn too ☺️☺️☺️ Im looking forward in making this dress 😍😍
Hello! I started with the galaxy granny square from bagoday like in your second dress! You mentioned that you freehanded to make it bigger, do you mind telling me what pattern you used to expand it? It looks like it’s repeating I’m just new enough to crochet that I can’t tell what you did by looking at it.
I totally forgot the exact steps because I did freehand and I didn’t take notes, sorry. Sadly, I don’t have the dress here with me anymore so I just zoomed in the pictures that I have. From what I can see I continued the square with increases in every corner of course which is 3dc chain 2 3dc, then chain 2 skip 2 stitches and 3 dc cluster on the next stitch and repeat throughout the round, let’s just say that’s row 1. Row 2, increase in every corner then dc on every stitch that means 2 dc on chain 2 since there are 2 stitches there. Row 3, increase every corner and back loop only sc into every stitch. Row 4 is the same as row 2. Row 5 is the same as row 3. Then repeat from row 1 to 5 until you reach the size you want. Of course you may continue with just dc on every stitch and increases on the corners if you want or any other stitches you want. I apologize if I’m not very sure with the stitches since I just also did trial and error and I’ve made that long ago. If there are things that are unclear you may just wing it and do what you think will look good. Good luck!
I love crocheting granny squares. I adore your work ❤️ I am a long time subscriber of Bag O Day. Your channel just came up today. I am now a new subscriber!! Yaayyy!!! Thank you for sharing. Is it ok to use a #2 sport weight yarn? It’s 50% cotton only. I’m thinking of using a 3.5mm hook. What would you suggest? Thanks ❤️
I think sport weight is also good for this design. I forgot if I was able to make one using sport weight yarn but as long as it’s not the heavy or stiff type I think it would be okay. I think 3.5mm is okay although I suggest to use the biggest hook size recommended for the yarn weight for a more flowy and lacy effect because of the looser stitches. You may try a bigger hook size if you find the stitches to be tight. My tension is a bit tight so sometimes I use 3.5mn to 4mm even with fingering weight yarns. Well, it’s just me because like I said, my stitches are tight. So you may try a few stitches using different hook sizes to see what you think looks and feels best. Anyway, thank you so much and I hope you get to try making this design. Happy crocheting! ❤️🥰
@Chrisc1995 If you mean the wavy strap pattern for the crisscross design, sadly I couldn’t find the tutorial or pattern for that one anymore. I just remember looking up here on YT tutorials for crochet lace straps or something like that. If you mean how the crisscross is done, you just have to xonnect the strap at the back to the other side instead, just make sure to add 1 to 2 inches to the length of the straps.
I meant the strap pattern. I will look it up on YT. Thank you for the tip on the strap. I will keep that in mind. I will reach out if I get lost in the process ❤️🤣🤣
You may try to measure the length from your shoulder/chest where you would want the point on the bust part to be (it’s one of the corners of the squares where the straps go) going down below your knees, that would be the length of the sides of your granny squares. But the sides of the dress are always longer than the front so if the front part is below your knees the sides would be longer. Please check the thumbnail picture if you’re a bit confused, I can’t really explain it in words, if only I could show pictures here. But you my check pictures on my instagram to help you visualize what I mean. I posted there some pictures of this dress. Here: instagram.com/justiseandjordana
Would you please give the size of the squares you made for the versions showing on the dress form? I made one and while the corners on the sides come down near to my ankles, the center back is way up high and barely covers my butt. So for my sanity, I would like to know the approx size of the squares on your example. Thanks. They are very pretty
Each side of the squares of the yellow one in the tutorial is 28 inches and 38 inches for the longer dress. Maybe try making the length of the connected sides on the back longer and shift the front of the dress higher, I mean pull the straps up on the front and then pull down on the back so the back part will drape lower making it look longer. But I think this will only work if the dress is a little loose. I don’t know how to explain it clearly in words, so sorry. Anyway, the design of the dress is really short on the back compared to the front and the sides. I hope you get to sort out your dress, so sorry I couldn’t help much.
You just have to make a bigger granny square because the bigger the granny square, the longer the dress is. Just be mindful of the yarn weight because the dress can get heavy if you use bulky yarn, for a maxi dress it’s recommended to use lightweight yarn.
For the yellow mini dress in the video tutorial, it’s 245 grams of fingering weight 8ply fine cotton yarn, so just 1 cake for the whole dress. For the other dresses shown there, the ones with gradient yarns, I used 2 cakes for each dress, approx 270 grams for each cake, 1 cake for each granny square since there are 2 granny squares per dress, so approx. 540 grams of yarns for those other dresses. According to a chart I found on Google, for fingering weight it can be 380 - 500 yards per 100 grams. Based on that, it can be approximately 1026 - 1350 yards. I’m guessing it could be on the higher end, around 1300 yards or 1188 meters because this yarn is very light. I recommend not too bulky yarn because I was told by someone who made the dress in a bulky yarn that it got a little heavy.
Hi, I finished the dress and wore it as a beach cover up. Unfortunately it was very heavy in the sense it would not sit right. I am wondering what weight yarn you used.
Oh, sorry to hearr that. I used a fine cotton fingering weight yarn. Yes, I think yarns that are very light are better for this dress. But thank you for trying out the design.
Yes, since it’s sport weight so it’s not too bulky but I also suggest to make the stitches not too tight so the end result will be flowy and not stiff. I crochet tightly so to get a loose tension, I just use a bigger hook size than the recommended one for a certain yarn weight.
I totally forgot the exact steps because I did freehand and I didn’t take notes, sorry. Sadly, I don’t have the dress here with me anymore so I just zoomed in the pictures that I have. From what I can see I continued the square with of course increases in every corner as usual (which is 3dc chain 2 3dc) then “chain 2 skip 2 stitches and 3 dc cluster on the next stitch” and repeat “-“ throughout the row, let’s just say that’s row 1. On the next row - Row 2, increase in every corner as usual then just dc on every stitch that means 2 dc on chain 2 space of the previous round since there are 2 stitches there. Row 3, increase in every corner again as usual and back loop only sc into every stitch. Row 4 is the same as row 2. Row 5 is the same as row 3. Then repeat from row 1 to 5 until you reach the size you want. Of course you may continue with just dc on every stitch and increases on the corners if you want or any other stitches you want. I apologize if I’m not very sure with the stitches since I just also did trial and error and I’ve made that maybe 2 months ago. If there are things that are unclear you may just wing it and do what you think will look good. Good luck!
Hi. It depends on how long you want the dress to be but as a guide, I’m only 5’1” here are the measurements for a maxi dress for me: From the chest (because that’s where one of the granny square corner starts) to approximately my ankle is 43 to 45 inches. That length should be equal to the diagonal of the granny square. If you look at the pictures of the dress, you will see that clearly. When you make a granny square you can just simply measure the diagonal of the square, so for me I’ll just check if I already reached 43 inches. But if you don’t want to measure the diagonal and want to measure the side length instead, just get the length of the sides based on the length of the diagonal. Let’s say 43 inches, just compute or in my case I just google it or use an app. So for the diagonal of 43 inches, I need to make a granny square with sides of approx 30.41 inches. So I think a granny square with 43 inches diagonal (or 30.41 inches side length), the length of the dress will be below the knee for a 6ft tall person. So maybe you can work from that, if you want it shorter or longer? If you want a maxi dress maybe add 10 inches or more? So let’s say 53inches, you can simply make a granny square and measure the diagonal length and it should be approx 53inches. If you want to measure the sides instead, the granny square should have sides with 37.48 inches in length. I just googled it, lol. So in short, Google helps, lol. Just find out how long you want it to be from the chest to the knee, thigh, ankle or whatever, and that length is the diagonal of square. You can just measure the diagonal of your granny square to check if you reach the length already or if you want to get the side measurements, that’s also fine. Sorry for the long explanation. Hope this helps. PS - Take note that the length I’m talking about is the longest part of the dress which is the sides, the front and back are shorter. You may check pictures again here: instagram.com/justiseandjordana
This is a fingering weight fine cotton yarn and I used a 3.5mm crochet hook. You may use a different type of yarn and hook size but superfine to fine weight yarn is recommended. Happy crocheting! 😊
The bigger squares for the ankle or floor length dress, 38 inches long on each side. The smaller squares, the yellow ones for the mini dress, 27-28 inches long on each side. As per the number of rows, it would depend on the yarn you will use, the hook, and your tension. All the instructions are in the video, you may check it out to guide you more into making this dress. Thank you so much for dropping by.

@@KatsHooksBrushes Thanksfor replying so soon. I decided to go with the kelidoscope square of hers but the end of the square, again to small. I will look over your additions and try to figure it out. Thanks again
I'm using a weight 2 and a G hook but my square turned out very small compared to yours. I think I'll frog this kelidoscope and start the galaxy and try to follow your expanded instructions. I don't understand the increase part on your instructions? Thanks again
@@ambervereide6612 Mine was also small, I just made it bigger by continuing to make the square. It’s the same as the increase in other granny squares, it’s how the squares get bigger but maybe i shouldn’t have called it increase, just corners maybe. It’s done in every corner of the square, sorry if I’m not clear. You may check out other granny square tutorials here on YT. Also if the steps I wrote there aren’t really clear, you may always wing it or make it up as you go, there’s no pattern to follow really, just whatever you feel like doing.
I made the squares, but I’m admittedly pretty confused on if the first part of the back, crochet as you part, is the top or bottom of the back… seems like it coming out too big
The back part where the two squares were crocheted together is the bottom part up to the waist or higher. So it started at the bottom going up to the part where you want the open back to start. That one on the video, the crocheted together back portion of the dress is from the bottom up to the lower back.
If you are still confused you may want to check the tutorial again starting at 1:50 for the demo with the handkerchief. It’s the same assembly process except I used safety pins to connect the squares instead of sewing or crocheting them together.
No, sorry I don’t. But it’s a regular granny square or you can use any granny square pattern you like for this dress. It’s really the assembly process or how to form the dress that is the main focus of this tutorial. This dress is just made out of two big granny squares connected to each other in a certain way which is shown in this video.
@@hollifinn8272 Oh I forgot to count the rows and I don’t have the dresses here anymore but in my notes, the granny squares are approx. 38 inches on each side for the longer dress which is ankle length or maxi dress for me. For the mini dress which is the yellow one used in this tutorial, the granny squares have approx. 27-28 inches length on each side.
Hello po. Pwede po kaya combed cotton dito? Magiging flowy pa rin po ba kaya non? May nagawa na po kasi akong granny square using indophil and magaspang po masyado. Di maganda for this project.
If yung combed cotton po tulad ng sa Ashley’s na sport weight or mas makapal pa, medyo mabigat na po para dito if dress sya na medyo mahaba. If mini dress po kaya pa siguro and lacy yung pagkagawa using bigger hook siguro para hindi siksik ang stitches.
Hehe, pwede naman po pero baka po if isang cone, mini dress lang din po magawa kasi 2 big granny squares ang gagawin. Heavy sya pero feeling ko maganda din ang drape ng combed cotton kasi bagsak na bagsak.
Sa 4 corners po ng square yung increase, so sa each corner po ay 3 dc, 2 chains, 3 dc. If nalilito pa rin po kayo search na lang po kayo dito sa youtube ng tutorial for crochet granny square kasi baka mas malinaw sa iba.
Each side of the squares of the yellow one in the tutorial is 28 inches and 38 inches for the longer dress. It’s also explained in the video how to make the dress based on your measurements. It’s a made to measure dress so you can make it to the size you need. The bigger the squares you make the longer the dress will be. These were all mentioned in the video. I apologize if some parts are not clear to you. I hope you give this another chance if you have the time. Many were already able to make this dress into different sizes, I hope you’ll be able to as well. Thanks for checking this out.
This can be made into different sizes. The assembly demo @1:43 explained how the whole thing is formed and it will give you the idea also on how to adjust for sizes. The time stamp 18:45 which is the guide for the back part explains further how to adjust for sizes. Also this is a dress made with just 2 granny squares so you may make the granny squares bigger or smaller that will also determine the length of the dress. Everything is explained in the video tutorial.
Yang mini dress na yellow sa mismong tutorial, 1 cake lang yan na 2 granny sqaures, hinati ko lang yung isang cake. Yung mas mahabang dress na pinakita din dyan sa video, yunga maxi dress na gradient yarn ang gamit, 1 cake per granny square so 2 cakes nagamit sa isang dress.
Hindi po ako makapagrecommend ilang ply kasi iba iba po kapal need na yarn sa mga projects, sinusunod ko lang ano recommended sa pattern or tutorials. Yung yarns po iba iba po ang kapal kahit pareho ng ply kasi iba ibang fiber ang gamit. For example itong gamit ko dito 8ply fine cottoon yarn pero manipis sya sobra, fingering weight lang tapos may 8ply milk cotton naman tapos yun makapal medium weight ata yun, tapos yung mga 8ply na hand dyed cotton, light weight naman yun. So wala po sa ply talaga, sa weight category po kayo magbase kahit hindi mismo fiber type like cotton, acrylic, etc. Ako kasi lagi cotton gamit ko kahit acrylic o wool pa yung ginamit nung designer pero depende yan sayo and usually sa mga patterns or tutorials na gagawin nyo sinasabi doon sa guide yung recommended yarn at hook size, kasi iba iba po talaga designs. Tulad ngayon may pattern akong sinusundan, suggested nya gamitin sport weight yarn kaya yun po gamit ko.
I used fingering weight fine cotton yarn but you may use a different one but I suggest not the bulky and stiff kind so it would have a soft flowy effect.
I used 8ply fine cotton yarn, fingering weight, from a local yarn brand here in the Philippines, Ashley’s Crochet but I think there are similar yarns from Kokonki or Hobbii.
For the yellow mini dress in the video tutorial, it’s 245 grams of fingering weight 8ply fine cotton yarn, so just 1 cake for the whole dress. For the other dresses shown there, the ones with gradient yarns, I used 2 cakes for each dress, approx 270 grams for each cake, 1 cake for each granny square since there are 2 granny squares per dress, so approx. 540 grams of yarns for those other dresses.
Yung instructions po sa tutorial guide po sya para maadjust yung size pero since beach coverup naman po okay lang na medyo hindi ganun kafit kaya po etong isang ginagawa ko na order sakin nilakihan ko na lang yung opening kasi para daw fit from small to large. Panggigift nya kasi. May guide po sa video. Thanks.

Love this dress tutorial. I have a question I want to make this in maxi length how do I do this? Do I keep going around making granny square bigger?
Yes, the bigger the granny square, the longer the dress will be.
Hello! I started with the galaxy granny square from bagoday like in your second dress! You mentioned that you freehanded to make it bigger, do you mind telling me what pattern you used to expand it? It looks like it’s repeating I’m just new enough to crochet that I can’t tell what you did by looking at it.
I totally forgot the exact steps because I did freehand and I didn’t take notes, sorry. Sadly, I don’t have the dress here with me anymore so I just zoomed in the pictures that I have. From what I can see I continued the square with increases in every corner of course which is 3dc chain 2 3dc, then chain 2 skip 2 stitches and 3 dc cluster on the next stitch and repeat throughout the round, let’s just say that’s row 1. Row 2, increase in every corner then dc on every stitch that means 2 dc on chain 2 since there are 2 stitches there. Row 3, increase every corner and back loop only sc into every stitch. Row 4 is the same as row 2. Row 5 is the same as row 3. Then repeat from row 1 to 5 until you reach the size you want.
Of course you may continue with just dc on every stitch and increases on the corners if you want or any other stitches you want. I apologize if I’m not very sure with the stitches since I just also did trial and error and I’ve made that long ago. If there are things that are unclear you may just wing it and do what you think will look good. Good luck!
So pretty thanks
Thank you! ❤️
I love crocheting granny squares. I adore your work ❤️ I am a long time subscriber of Bag O Day. Your channel just came up today. I am now a new subscriber!! Yaayyy!!! Thank you for sharing. Is it ok to use a #2 sport weight yarn? It’s 50% cotton only. I’m thinking of using a 3.5mm hook. What would you suggest? Thanks ❤️
I think sport weight is also good for this design. I forgot if I was able to make one using sport weight yarn but as long as it’s not the heavy or stiff type I think it would be okay. I think 3.5mm is okay although I suggest to use the biggest hook size recommended for the yarn weight for a more flowy and lacy effect because of the looser stitches. You may try a bigger hook size if you find the stitches to be tight. My tension is a bit tight so sometimes I use 3.5mn to 4mm even with fingering weight yarns. Well, it’s just me because like I said, my stitches are tight. So you may try a few stitches using different hook sizes to see what you think looks and feels best.
Anyway, thank you so much and I hope you get to try making this design. Happy crocheting! ❤️🥰
I will email you photos when I figure out which yarn to use. I will surely keep you posted. Mahalo for sharing 🌺
One more thing, may I ask how you crocheted the crisscross strap? It’s prettier than just crocheting a straight strap.
@Chrisc1995 If you mean the wavy strap pattern for the crisscross design, sadly I couldn’t find the tutorial or pattern for that one anymore. I just remember looking up here on YT tutorials for crochet lace straps or something like that. If you mean how the crisscross is done, you just have to xonnect the strap at the back to the other side instead, just make sure to add 1 to 2 inches to the length of the straps.
I meant the strap pattern. I will look it up on YT. Thank you for the tip on the strap. I will keep that in mind. I will reach out if I get lost in the process ❤️🤣🤣
thank u so much for sharing
You’re welcome. Thanks for dropping by!
Love it. I'm 5"7. How big should I make squares please? Would be happy with just over my knees.
You may try to measure the length from your shoulder/chest where you would want the point on the bust part to be (it’s one of the corners of the squares where the straps go) going down below your knees, that would be the length of the sides of your granny squares. But the sides of the dress are always longer than the front so if the front part is below your knees the sides would be longer. Please check the thumbnail picture if you’re a bit confused, I can’t really explain it in words, if only I could show pictures here. But you my check pictures on my instagram to help you visualize what I mean. I posted there some pictures of this dress. Here: instagram.com/justiseandjordana
Would you please give the size of the squares you made for the versions showing on the dress form? I made one and while the corners on the sides come down near to my ankles, the center back is way up high and barely covers my butt. So for my sanity, I would like to know the approx size of the squares on your example. Thanks. They are very pretty
Each side of the squares of the yellow one in the tutorial is 28 inches and 38 inches for the longer dress. Maybe try making the length of the connected sides on the back longer and shift the front of the dress higher, I mean pull the straps up on the front and then pull down on the back so the back part will drape lower making it look longer. But I think this will only work if the dress is a little loose. I don’t know how to explain it clearly in words, so sorry. Anyway, the design of the dress is really short on the back compared to the front and the sides. I hope you get to sort out your dress, so sorry I couldn’t help much.
Spectacular ❤
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Qué hermoso vestido ❤
Gracias! 🥰
hello, I loved the dress, how can I make this dress in a maxi dress version? please help me❤️
You just have to make a bigger granny square because the bigger the granny square, the longer the dress is. Just be mindful of the yarn weight because the dress can get heavy if you use bulky yarn, for a maxi dress it’s recommended to use lightweight yarn.
So beautiful❤️❤️ Do you also have the tutorial for the bottom part? Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏thank you
Yes po. Andyan po sa video lahat. Single crochet lang din naman po ginawa ko sa bottom po pero kahit anong edging po na gusto nyo pwede naman.
@@KatsHooksBrushes salamat po and Godbless❤️

Hi, what yarn did you use? How many grams and meters pr cake? Thanks❤
For the yellow mini dress in the video tutorial, it’s 245 grams of fingering weight 8ply fine cotton yarn, so just 1 cake for the whole dress. For the other dresses shown there, the ones with gradient yarns, I used 2 cakes for each dress, approx 270 grams for each cake, 1 cake for each granny square since there are 2 granny squares per dress, so approx. 540 grams of yarns for those other dresses. According to a chart I found on Google, for fingering weight it can be 380 - 500 yards per 100 grams. Based on that, it can be approximately 1026 - 1350 yards. I’m guessing it could be on the higher end, around 1300 yards or 1188 meters because this yarn is very light. I recommend not too bulky yarn because I was told by someone who made the dress in a bulky yarn that it got a little heavy.
Bom dia 🌷, É muito linda a saída de praia,eu queria que vc colocasse legenda em português Eu até me escrevi deve ter coisas lindas no seu canal ❤
Hi, good day! I tried Google Translate so I could understand your comment, not sure though if it was accurate. Thank you for dropping by. ☺️
Amazing
Thank you! 😊
Ang ganda po ♥️♥️
Yii, salamat!!! 😘
Love it
Thank you! 😊
Hi, I finished the dress and wore it as a beach cover up. Unfortunately it was very heavy in the sense it would not sit right. I am wondering what weight yarn you used.
Oh, sorry to hearr that. I used a fine cotton fingering weight yarn. Yes, I think yarns that are very light are better for this dress. But thank you for trying out the design.
Gandaaaaaaaaa ❤️
Salamat po! ❤️😊
Can I use 6ply combed cotton by Ashley's Crochet?
Yes, since it’s sport weight so it’s not too bulky but I also suggest to make the stitches not too tight so the end result will be flowy and not stiff. I crochet tightly so to get a loose tension, I just use a bigger hook size than the recommended one for a certain yarn weight.
❤❤❤ Thank you sooo much for the tips. Looking forward for more tutorials from you 😇@@KatsHooksBrushes🥰
You’re welcome, happy crocheting! 🥰❤️

What stitches did you use for the freestyle part after the galaxy granny square?
I totally forgot the exact steps because I did freehand and I didn’t take notes, sorry. Sadly, I don’t have the dress here with me anymore so I just zoomed in the pictures that I have. From what I can see I continued the square with of course increases in every corner as usual (which is 3dc chain 2 3dc) then “chain 2 skip 2 stitches and 3 dc cluster on the next stitch” and repeat “-“ throughout the row, let’s just say that’s row 1. On the next row - Row 2, increase in every corner as usual then just dc on every stitch that means 2 dc on chain 2 space of the previous round since there are 2 stitches there. Row 3, increase in every corner again as usual and back loop only sc into every stitch. Row 4 is the same as row 2. Row 5 is the same as row 3. Then repeat from row 1 to 5 until you reach the size you want.
Of course you may continue with just dc on every stitch and increases on the corners if you want or any other stitches you want. I apologize if I’m not very sure with the stitches since I just also did trial and error and I’ve made that maybe 2 months ago. If there are things that are unclear you may just wing it and do what you think will look good. Good luck!
What size granny square do you recomend for someone who is 6 feet tall? (How many inches in length)
Hi. It depends on how long you want the dress to be but as a guide, I’m only 5’1” here are the measurements for a maxi dress for me:
From the chest (because that’s where one of the granny square corner starts) to approximately my ankle is 43 to 45 inches.
That length should be equal to the diagonal of the granny square. If you look at the pictures of the dress, you will see that clearly.
When you make a granny square you can just simply measure the diagonal of the square, so for me I’ll just check if I already reached 43 inches. But if you don’t want to measure the diagonal and want to measure the side length instead, just get the length of the sides based on the length of the diagonal. Let’s say 43 inches, just compute or in my case I just google it or use an app. So for the diagonal of 43 inches, I need to make a granny square with sides of approx 30.41 inches.
So I think a granny square with 43 inches diagonal (or 30.41 inches side length), the length of the dress will be below the knee for a 6ft tall person. So maybe you can work from that, if you want it shorter or longer? If you want a maxi dress maybe add 10 inches or more? So let’s say 53inches, you can simply make a granny square and measure the diagonal length and it should be approx 53inches. If you want to measure the sides instead, the granny square should have sides with 37.48 inches in length. I just googled it, lol.
So in short, Google helps, lol. Just find out how long you want it to be from the chest to the knee, thigh, ankle or whatever, and that length is the diagonal of square. You can just measure the diagonal of your granny square to check if you reach the length already or if you want to get the side measurements, that’s also fine.
Sorry for the long explanation. Hope this helps.
PS - Take note that the length I’m talking about is the longest part of the dress which is the sides, the front and back are shorter. You may check pictures again here:

Hallo what Yarn and needle did you use
This is a fingering weight fine cotton yarn and I used a 3.5mm crochet hook. You may use a different type of yarn and hook size but superfine to fine weight yarn is recommended. Happy crocheting! 😊
Merci ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You’re very much welcome! ❤️😊
Qual a medida do quadrado ou quantas carreiras? Obg. Seu trabalho é maravilhoso.
The bigger squares for the ankle or floor length dress, 38 inches long on each side. The smaller squares, the yellow ones for the mini dress, 27-28 inches long on each side. As per the number of rows, it would depend on the yarn you will use, the hook, and your tension. All the instructions are in the video, you may check it out to guide you more into making this dress. Thank you so much for dropping by.
Ang ganda po! San ba makakabili ng mga ganyang yarn
Thank you! Search nyo po Crocheted by Carisse at Ashley’s Crochet sa Facebook. Sa kanila po ako bumili nyan.
I'm starting the Bag O Day squares for my dress. how did you continue the squares to make them bigger for a dress? Thanks

@@KatsHooksBrushes Thanksfor replying so soon. I decided to go with the kelidoscope square of hers but the end of the square, again to small. I will look over your additions and try to figure it out. Thanks again
I'm using a weight 2 and a G hook but my square turned out very small compared to yours. I think I'll frog this kelidoscope and start the galaxy and try to follow your expanded instructions. I don't understand the increase part on your instructions? Thanks again
@@ambervereide6612 Mine was also small, I just made it bigger by continuing to make the square. It’s the same as the increase in other granny squares, it’s how the squares get bigger but maybe i shouldn’t have called it increase, just corners maybe. It’s done in every corner of the square, sorry if I’m not clear. You may check out other granny square tutorials here on YT. Also if the steps I wrote there aren’t really clear, you may always wing it or make it up as you go, there’s no pattern to follow really, just whatever you feel like doing.
@@KatsHooksBrushes great Thanks I'll figure it out
I made the squares, but I’m admittedly pretty confused on if the first part of the back, crochet as you part, is the top or bottom of the back… seems like it coming out too big
The back part where the two squares were crocheted together is the bottom part up to the waist or higher. So it started at the bottom going up to the part where you want the open back to start. That one on the video, the crocheted together back portion of the dress is from the bottom up to the lower back.
If you are still confused you may want to check the tutorial again starting at 1:50 for the demo with the handkerchief. It’s the same assembly process except I used safety pins to connect the squares instead of sewing or crocheting them together.
HI..I love this dress. Do you have a written pattern?
No, sorry I don’t. But it’s a regular granny square or you can use any granny square pattern you like for this dress. It’s really the assembly process or how to form the dress that is the main focus of this tutorial. This dress is just made out of two big granny squares connected to each other in a certain way which is shown in this video.
@@KatsHooksBrushes Thank you I have figured it out. How many rounds did you do for yours?
@@hollifinn8272 Oh I forgot to count the rows and I don’t have the dresses here anymore but in my notes, the granny squares are approx. 38 inches on each side for the longer dress which is ankle length or maxi dress for me. For the mini dress which is the yellow one used in this tutorial, the granny squares have approx. 27-28 inches length on each side.
Lütfen Türkçe alt yazı ekleseniz çok iyi olurdu👏👏
I apologize but I don’t speak Turkish and I have no idea if it can be done via RUclips settings.
Hello po. Pwede po kaya combed cotton dito? Magiging flowy pa rin po ba kaya non? May nagawa na po kasi akong granny square using indophil and magaspang po masyado. Di maganda for this project.
If yung combed cotton po tulad ng sa Ashley’s na sport weight or mas makapal pa, medyo mabigat na po para dito if dress sya na medyo mahaba. If mini dress po kaya pa siguro and lacy yung pagkagawa using bigger hook siguro para hindi siksik ang stitches.
@@KatsHooksBrushes yun po sana gagamitin ko😅 thank you po maam I’ll try this one po. Good luck sakin sa fine cotton hehe 😬
Hehe, pwede naman po pero baka po if isang cone, mini dress lang din po magawa kasi 2 big granny squares ang gagawin. Heavy sya pero feeling ko maganda din ang drape ng combed cotton kasi bagsak na bagsak.
Bale sa edges po is dalwang 3dc na sa may gitna is may 2 sc para lumaki?
Sa 4 corners po ng square yung increase, so sa each corner po ay 3 dc, 2 chains, 3 dc. If nalilito pa rin po kayo search na lang po kayo dito sa youtube ng tutorial for crochet granny square kasi baka mas malinaw sa iba.
@@KatsHooksBrushes bale paulit ulit lang po yun no hanggang sa mareach yung gusto mong laki po?
@@aizalayugan375 Yes po.
Hi. Ask ko lang if nagdouble pull po ba kayo?
Single pull lang po ng 8ply fine cotton yarn.
🤩🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏
What size do u crochet here? And I wish u had explained the different sizes as well.😮😢
Each side of the squares of the yellow one in the tutorial is 28 inches and 38 inches for the longer dress. It’s also explained in the video how to make the dress based on your measurements. It’s a made to measure dress so you can make it to the size you need. The bigger the squares you make the longer the dress will be. These were all mentioned in the video. I apologize if some parts are not clear to you. I hope you give this another chance if you have the time. Many were already able to make this dress into different sizes, I hope you’ll be able to as well. Thanks for checking this out.
@@KatsHooksBrushes Thanks for helping me out! I'll give it a try! 🥰
You’re welcome and thanks for your interest on this design! ❤️🥰
@@KatsHooksBrushes 🥰🥰🥰
what's sizes can be made with this ?
This can be made into different sizes. The assembly demo @1:43 explained how the whole thing is formed and it will give you the idea also on how to adjust for sizes. The time stamp 18:45 which is the guide for the back part explains further how to adjust for sizes. Also this is a dress made with just 2 granny squares so you may make the granny squares bigger or smaller that will also determine the length of the dress. Everything is explained in the video tutorial.
Ilan pong cake ang isang square nyan po? 4 Ashley's Crochet 8ply?
Yang mini dress na yellow sa mismong tutorial, 1 cake lang yan na 2 granny sqaures, hinati ko lang yung isang cake. Yung mas mahabang dress na pinakita din dyan sa video, yunga maxi dress na gradient yarn ang gamit, 1 cake per granny square so 2 cakes nagamit sa isang dress.
Any recommende po na gamitin kung ilang ply for tops and dresses?
@@KatsHooksBrushes salamat po sa agarang pagsagot😘😍 napaka accommodating niyo po🤗
Hindi po ako makapagrecommend ilang ply kasi iba iba po kapal need na yarn sa mga projects, sinusunod ko lang ano recommended sa pattern or tutorials. Yung yarns po iba iba po ang kapal kahit pareho ng ply kasi iba ibang fiber ang gamit. For example itong gamit ko dito 8ply fine cottoon yarn pero manipis sya sobra, fingering weight lang tapos may 8ply milk cotton naman tapos yun makapal medium weight ata yun, tapos yung mga 8ply na hand dyed cotton, light weight naman yun. So wala po sa ply talaga, sa weight category po kayo magbase kahit hindi mismo fiber type like cotton, acrylic, etc. Ako kasi lagi cotton gamit ko kahit acrylic o wool pa yung ginamit nung designer pero depende yan sayo and usually sa mga patterns or tutorials na gagawin nyo sinasabi doon sa guide yung recommended yarn at hook size, kasi iba iba po talaga designs. Tulad ngayon may pattern akong sinusundan, suggested nya gamitin sport weight yarn kaya yun po gamit ko.
we are the exact height haha. 5'1"
Hooray for petite women! 😄😊
what yarn is used?
I used fingering weight fine cotton yarn but you may use a different one but I suggest not the bulky and stiff kind so it would have a soft flowy effect.
What brand yarn are you using?
I used 8ply fine cotton yarn, fingering weight, from a local yarn brand here in the Philippines, Ashley’s Crochet but I think there are similar yarns from Kokonki or Hobbii.
@@KatsHooksBrushes thank you for your quick reply. I meant the name of the yarn, not the weight
@@KatsHooksBrushes thank you. X
Yes, I just wanted to reply with the complete yarn details in case there would be follow up questions. You’re welcome.
How much yarn did you use?
For the yellow mini dress in the video tutorial, it’s 245 grams of fingering weight 8ply fine cotton yarn, so just 1 cake for the whole dress. For the other dresses shown there, the ones with gradient yarns, I used 2 cakes for each dress, approx 270 grams for each cake, 1 cake for each granny square since there are 2 granny squares per dress, so approx. 540 grams of yarns for those other dresses.
@@KatsHooksBrushes thank you! You are a doll!

Hi po mam.. ask q po free size po ba siya
Yung instructions po sa tutorial guide po sya para maadjust yung size pero since beach coverup naman po okay lang na medyo hindi ganun kafit kaya po etong isang ginagawa ko na order sakin nilakihan ko na lang yung opening kasi para daw fit from small to large. Panggigift nya kasi. May guide po sa video. Thanks.
