What I love about the crochet pleated baby dress is the pleat detailing. This dress fits babies 0-6 months, the pdf pattern contains instructions for 6-12 months, 12-18 months and 18-24 months. It is so easy to make and it’s beginner friendly as it makes use of simple crochet stitches. It looks great in all colour combinations. The Crochet Puff Baby Bonnet complements this cute baby dress. You can find the written pattern below. You might also like Crochet High-Low Baby Dress.
