How to Crochet Halloween Dress
To crochet this Crochet Halloween Dress you will need yarn in black and orange, and a basic understanding of crochet techniques like single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), and increasing and decreasing stitches.
Start with black yarn. Ch 160 (or adjust according to your bust size) and join with a sl st to form a circle.
Round 1: Sc in each ch around. Ch 2, turn.
Round 2-20: Continue sc in each stitch around to build the bodice. Adjust the number of rows to reach your desired length.
Waist and Skirt:
After completing the bodice, continue to the waist area. Use a combination of sc and dc to shape the waist.
Round 1: Inc every 10 stitches to create a gradual flare for the skirt.
Rounds 2-40: Dc in each stitch around, gradually increasing every 15 stitches to form the flared skirt. Continue until the skirt reaches knee length.
