MATERIALS:
1-1\2 skein Bernat Baby Coordinates yarn in Sweet Pink, 1\2 skein Bernat Baby Coordinates in White, H hook or hook to obtain gauge, pins, needle to take yarn and 3 size 15 snaps.
GAUGE: 4 sc = 1”, 4 rows sc = 1”, 4 hdc = 1”, 3 rows hdc = 1”
FINISHED SIZE: 1-1\2” across ea shoulder, 5-1\2” long sleeve, 9” across waist, 14” long from neck edge to hem of dress, large white heart is 2-14” across and small pink heart is 1-1\4” across.
SPECIAL STITCHES: The stitches used to make the raised sts are Front Post dc or Fpdc and Back Post dc or Bpdc. This is a dc worked around the previous row’s st instead of in the top of the sts as normally done. In the Fpdc you are working the st by inserting your hook from the front of the piece, behind the previously worked st and then back through to the front, yo and work as established for dc. Bpdc is the same but instead of inserting your hook from the front of the piece you insert it from the back of the piece and then around the previously worked dc and then back through the back, yo and finish working normal dc.
You will be alternating two colors as you work. Due to the special Fpdc and Bpdc you will not be able to work the white yarn behind the sts as you crochet. Simply drop the white, make the raised sts, pick the white back up carefully running it behind the worked sts and continue working. When working the background you can work the pink yarn behind your sts picking up and dropping as indicated.
