Crochet Pattern: The Wasteland Dress
Please note this listing is for a digital crochet PDF PATTERN which will be immediately downloadable, not a finished item!
❉ What you get:
Create a whimsical and kick-a$$ Wasteland Dress for yourself with this 29 Page pattern! This pattern includes a mixture of written instructions and supporting diagrams and photos for visual learners. (Use of the stitch diagrams is not at all necessary to complete this pattern).
The Wasteland Dress is a distressed tabard-style dress, featuring a face covering which folds down into a turtleneck-style collar, an oversized hood which folds down to stretch around the shoulders like a cowl/wrap and corset-style lace up sides which peter out just above the hips to create a flattering silhouette.
The Wasteland Dress is designed as part of my Wasteland line, which includes patterns for a matching Top, Sleeves and Pant. Check them out in my other listings if you like the look.
Perfect on it's own for an edgy look, or pair with leggings or jeans for everyday style. Make yours in sandstone or greys for a desert punk look, verdant green for the elven explorer in you or vibrant purple or black to bring out the witch! Perfect for upcoming sunny days, festivals, raves... or the apocalypse!
❉ Supplies Needed:
Yarn - Approx. 460g (920m/1005yds) aran or heavier worsted weight yarn OR LIKELY MORE depending on your unique size & shape.
Required hooks - 5 & 7mm.
Recommended but non-essential hooks: 4mm (5mm can be substituted).
Required notions - Yarn needle, locking stitch markers in various colours and flexible measuring tape.
❉ Experience Level:
This pattern was written with intermediate crafters in mind. However, I believe that an adventurous beginner who likes a creative challenge would fair reasonably well with it! Please read my FAQ for more information on the experience level required for my patterns.
I do not, however, explain how to work the basic crochet stitches used. You will need to know basic crochet stitches (including increase/decrease, back loop only, third loop only) and how to work from your own measurements.
❉ Sizing:
This pattern works for any body. It is entirely made to measure, meaning that a measuring tape and trying on your work as you go is essential.
❉ Pattern Notes:
This pattern uses US crochet terms.
