This beach dress is made using 2 identical panels. It is completely customisable for your own size. Adjust the amount of starting chains using the multiples provided if necessary. NOTE: I am 5’ 10” and made it to fit me.
Instructions:
Using colour A, ch 263 (or a multiple of 4 plus 3).
Row 1: Starting in the 5th ch from the hook, place (2dc, ch1, 2dc) all in the same ch. Skip 3 chs. Repeat from to until you have 2chs remaining. Skip 1 ch and place 1dc in the final ch. Ch3, turn.
Row 2: In the ch1 sp (in between the 2x2dcs from row 1), place (2dc, ch1, 2dc). Repeat in each ch1 sp along the row. At the end of the row, place 1dc in the top of the skipped chains from the beginning of row 1.
Fasten off A and join B.
Row 3: (Ch5, sl st in the ch1 sp) all the way along the row. At the end of the row, ch5 and sl st into the top of the ch3 from row 2. Ch5, turn.
Row 4: (Sl st around the ch5 from the previous row, ch5) repeat to the end of the row. Ch5 and sl st into the 3rd of the 5chs from the previous row. Ch5, turn.
Rows 5 and 6: Repeat row 4. At the end of row 6, do not ch5. Turn.

Row 8: In the ch1 sp place (2dc, ch1, 2dc). Repeat in each ch1 sp along the row. At the end of the row, place 1dc in the top of the ch3 from the previous row. Ch3, turn.
Rows 9 and 10: Repeat row 8.

These rows form the pattern repeat. So it goes:
Chain row
2 x iris st rows
4 x ch5 rows
4x iris st rows
4x ch5 rows
2x iris st rows
and so on.
You can continue growing the panel until it is the size you require, remembering that 1 panel makes up half of your dress. Once you are happy with the size, end on an iris st row. In colour B, ch3 then work 1 dc in each of the dcs from the previous row (not in the ch1 sp though) to finish off the panel.
Make an identical panel and then lay it out on the floor or table. Decide how low you would like the neck at the front and how high to bring it up to the back. Use stitch markers to mark out where you will seam it to. Using mattress st and a darning needle, sew up the seams to the stitch markers you’ve placed.
Now fold the dress in half and use stitch markers to hold the 2 side seams together. Decide how big you want your arm holes and use a marker to mark it. Repeat in the same way on the other side so both arm holes are the same size and then sew up these 2 sides, too.
Finish off by sewing in any loose ends.
And the Iris Wave Beach Dress is complete!
