Introduction: Stuffed Animal Dress
I made a dress for my stuffed dog because I thought it would be cute and I was bored.
DC means double crochet
SC means single crochet

Supplies
Stuffed animal to make the dress for. You can also use the same pattern to crochet a human dress, but you'll need a lot more yarn.
Blue and White yarn.
Crochet hook to match the size of yarn.
Measuring tape.
Step 1: Figuring Out the Size
Measure how wide the stuffed animal is at the widest point, mine is eight and a half inches.
Then crochet a ten by three square of DC and measure how many stitches per inch.
Step 2: The First Chain
Using what you figured out in Step 1 figure out how many stitches you'll need, chain that many, don't join it yet.
Step 3: Check the Chain
Now that you've made your chain double check the length, make sure it goes all the way around, if it doesn't add a few stitches and test again.
Step 4: Join the Chain
Making sure you have the chain all the same direction, join the chain together.
Step 5: The First Round
Chain three
DC around
Slip stitch the ends together.
Step 6: The Next Round
Chain one
SC around
Slip stitch the ends together.
Step 7: Repeat
Repeat steps 5 and 6 until it is long enough.
Step 8: Sleeve Prep
Mark where you want the sleeves to be.
Step 9: Sleeve Base
Chain from the front of the dress to the place on the back where you put the other marker.
SC across the chain and along the base between the chain.
Step 10: Sleeve Lengthening
Go all the way around until you reach to the paw on the stuffed animal.
Step 11: The Other Sleeve
Repeat steps 9 and 10 on the other side to make the other sleeve.
