MATERIALS

Yarn: DK—Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK in colorway “Cream”

  • 100% cotton
  • 273 yds (250 m) per 3.5 oz (100 g) skein
  • Find this yarn on lionbrand.com or yarnsub.com to find comparable substitutes available in your region.

 

Yardage Required: 4 (4, 4, 4, 5) (5, 6, 6, 6) skeins or approximately 850 (900, 975, 1050, 1175) (1225, 1375, 1475, 1550) yds (777 [823, 892, 960, 1074] [1120, 1257, 1349, 1417] m)

 

Yarn Substitution: Visit knitsnknots.ca/siren-side-slit-dress for an extensive list of yarn substitutes and yarns used during pattern testing. Substitute Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK with any similar light DK-weight (category #3) yarn that matches gauge. Most fibers should work fine in this project, particularly cotton or cotton blends. Avoid 100% bamboo yarns, as these will be too slippery; a little grip is needed. Note that DK weight is sometimes referred to as “8-ply” in Australia.

 

Hook: Size U.S. E/4 (3.5 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge

 

Notions: Tapestry needle, 3 locking stitch markers, several more stitch markers (optional) to help with seaming

    PATTERN NOTES

    Skill Level: Intermediate

     

    Sizing: This dress is written in nine sizes as follows: XS (S, M, L, XL) (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X). Make sure to follow the numbers for your size only. An “x” indicates the instruction is not applicable to your size.

     

    Stitch Counts: Stitch counts are listed after each row/round. If no stitch count is given, there has been no change since the previous row/round. If only one number is provided, it applies to all sizes.

     

    Right Side/Wrong Side: There is a right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) to this fabric. The RS faces you as you crochet all even-numbered rows (the Shell rows).

     

    Turning Chain: The turning chain does not count as a stitch.

     

    Lacy Fabric: Note that this stitch pattern has a lot of stretch due to the mesh ch5-sps. It is normal for your dress to appear quite small as you are crocheting it. This fabric has the capability of stretching nicely to fit your bust and hip measurements.

     

    Armholes: As you crochet your panels, the armholes may seem quite large. This will change once your armhole border is worked; the border rounds worked later on will cinch them in perfectly.

     

    Construction: This dress is worked side-to-side, lengthwise, in two panels (front and back) that get seamed together, then a simple border is added to the neckline and each armhole.

    Phoebe approved! 3 months and still going!!
    Color: Hammer, Size: Large, Color: Hammer, Size: Large
    I have 2 dogs--a chocolate lab and a pittie mix. Normally, they shred their toys within minutes/hours if not days, but this one has lasted for over 3 months! It is well loved and starting to show some wear, but I am super impressed with how long this one has lasted. It has a couple holes in it but they haven't disemboweled it. The squeeker didn't last too long, but they never do.

    Good for modest chewers who don't destroy toys.
    Color: Hammer, Size: Large
    We have four dogs, one of whom is a super chewer. Unfortunately, this toy wasn't even durable enough to stand up to our mid-level chewer. She had the squeaker out of this in mere moments, and the rope was untied and in shreds. We had to basically remove the squeaker from her, then clip the rope from the toy so she didn't try to eat it. Now, don't get me wrong. She's still having a great time with this toy, even as she whips it around and tosses stuffing everywhere. This is definitely sized for medium to large dogs, but I would only recommend this to dogs who don't like to destroy their toys, but instead just like to squeak them and maybe play some light tug. For those dogs, this will be a great option. For super chewers, this will last only minutes and I would not recommend it.

    Fun Toy for Fun Times
    Color: Hammer, Size: Large
    Perfect fun toy for my dog! I bought this squeaky plush toy for my dog and it has been a huge hit! The design is adorable — like a little toolbox toy — and the material feels soft yet durable enough to handle lots of chewing. The squeaker sound gets my dog’s attention every time and keeps him entertained for ages. It’s a great size for playtime and fetch, and so far it’s holding up really well against rough play. Highly recommend this if you’re looking for a fun and engaging toy for your furry friend! She chews it up and has a good time. Good price.

    Very durable for a plush toy
    Color: Hammer, Size: Large
    My GSD husky mix loves this toy. She is "working on it" as I write. Her first call to action with any new toy is to get the squeaker out. This toy is well made enough so that she has not been able to reverse engineer it immediately (as she does with cheap dog toys). She seems to enjoy chewing on the handle making it squeak, which is pretty cute. The toy itself is bigger than I thought it would be which is nice, as my dog is bigger too. It is soft and well stuffed. The rope on the end will make it a great tug toy too. Right now it has my dog's full attention so we shall see how long it lasts. Overall, while not indestructible, it's definitely better than 90% of the toys we've gotten her so far in terms of durability. Great product!

    Seems sturdy so far
    Color: Screwdriver, Size: Large
    So far my boys haven't ripped this apart, which is a good sign. They like to play tug with it and the squeaker is engaging (my pittie loves squeakers). Here's hoping it continues to last with my 2 tough chewers.
