This crochet pattern is an original design from my book Summer Crochet: 19 Delicate Designs with Simple Lace and Timeless Silhouettes, first published in 2025 by Page Street Publishing.

ABOUT

Whether you’re looking for a full-length maxi dress, a cropped tank top or anything in between, this customizable pattern allows you to create your ideal summer staple. Crocheted in the beloved granny stitch with a playful picot edging, the Tropical Beach Dress mixes a classic fabric with a contemporary fit for a truly resort-worthy piece.

 

Although originally designed to wear over a bathing suit, the Tropical Beach Dress can also be worn on its own as an everyday piece: Just pop it over a slip dress or your favorite fitted tank and biker shorts. Instructions are included to make either a dress or a tank top, with unique shaping instructions for each design.

 

This pattern is fully written + charted.

MATERIALS

Yarn: 

Fingering—WeCrochet Comfy™ Fingering in colorway “Ivory”

  • 75% Pima cotton, 25% acrylic
  • 218 yds (199 m) per 1.8 oz (50 g) skein
  • Find this yarn on crochet.com or yarnsub.com to find comparable substitutes available in your region.

 

Yardage Required* (Dress): 9 (9, 10, 11, 12) (13, 14, 16, 17) skeins or approximately 1750 (1850, 2050, 2250, 2450) (2700, 2975, 3275, 3575) yds (1600 [1692, 1875, 2057, 2240] [2469, 2720, 2995, 3269] m)

 

*Note that this yardage is based on the dress length provided in the sizing chart; exact yardage will vary based on your desired dress length and amount of increasing in the skirt.

 

Yardage Required (Tank Top): 4 (4, 5, 5, 6) (6, 7, 7, 8) skeins or 750 (825, 925, 1000, 1100) (1200, 1325, 1450, 1600) yds (686 [754, 846, 914, 1006] [1097, 1212, 1326, 1463] m)

 

Note that if you use a contrasting color for the picot edging, you will need approximately 35 to 40 yds (32–37 m) of your chosen contrasting color.

 

Yarn Substitution: Visit knitsnknots.ca/tropical-beach-dress for an extensive list of yarn substitutes and yarns used during pattern testing. Substitute WeCrochet Comfy Fingering with any similar fingering-weight (category #1) yarn that matches gauge. Note that fingering weight is often referred to as “4-ply” in the U.K. and Australia.

 

Yarn Tip: If you love the bright, classic look of a granny square, try using a multicolored, self-striping yarn. Be mindful that the yoke of the dress (the section between the shoulders and the underarms) is worked flat, while the remainder of the dress/tank is worked in a continuous spiral. Use a contrasting color for the picot edging for a bold two-tone look!

 

Hook: Size U.S. D/3 (3.25 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge

 

Notions: Tapestry needle, 2 locking stitch markers for hip increases

 

 

GAUGE

4 x 4” (10 x 10 cm) = 6 cluster repeats and 10 rows in the granny stitch, where one cluster plus one chain together count as one repeat, blocked

    PATTERN NOTES

    Skill Level: Intermediate

     

    Sizing: This pattern 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.

     

    Reversible: There is no right side or wrong side to this fabric; both sides are identical. You choose which side to wear as the “right side.”

     

    Turning Chain: The turning chain counts as the first stitch throughout the pattern. A ch-3 counts as 1 dc; a ch-4 counts as 1 dc + 1 ch.

     

    Dress Increases: There are instructions to add optional increases once your length reaches the small of your waist, to give your dress an A-line shape and create enough space around your legs to allow you to walk comfortably. This is particularly important if you are making a dress (as opposed to a tank top), especially for the smaller sizes. If you find that the circumference at your waist will give you enough walking space (this may be the case for some of the larger sizes), you may choose to work fewer increases or omit the increases altogether, depending on the length of your dress and your desired fit.

     

    Stretching Over Time: If you plan on making a maxi dress, be aware that your fabric is likely to stretch in length over time with wear. It is recommended to make your dress several inches (several cm) shorter than your desired finished length to anticipate this stretching so that it doesn’t extend past your feet!

     

    Construction: This dress is worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning with the front panel at the tops of the shoulders. First, two identical straps are worked separately, each with increases to shape the neckline and armhole openings, then connected to become one front panel. The back panel is worked from the top down directly onto the front panel straps. Next, your two panels are joined at the underarms, and the remainder of this dress (or tank) is crocheted in the round (in a spiral) while increasing the skirt until reaching your desired length.

    Perfect to stop leaks or stains
    Size: Twin, Color: White
    This is a wonderful mattress protector that gets the job done. It absolutely prevents stains from leaking through to the mattress. The only thing I don’t like that could be improved is the size and lack of snug fit. It moves a lot but still does the job and is not too hot. It’s very soft and comfortable. Would be 5 star if it had a snug feature or bands to fit under the mattress. Worth it for the price and is long lasting.

    Beat Mattress Protector yet!
    Size: Queen, Color: White
    This is the ULTIMATE bed protector I’ve bought in MANY years! Fits SUPER deep mattress. Has a nice thick fill. Doesn’t have any crinkle sound when you move nor makes you feel “hot” either. Literally waterproof also definitely works at keeping mattress protected especially against a huge amount of water poured on top! Washes and dries well in the dryer without shrinkage or losing any lot or waterproofing. Don’t use any bleach or softener or dryer sheets. Fantastic but and HIGHLY recommend! Doesn’t shift on bed either. Has full elastic type mesh ALL around the side of mattress that goes underneath to hold firmly in place. Order size of actual bed even if you have extended height mattress.

    Great fit, good added comfort, long dry time
    Size: Twin, Color: White, Size: Twin, Color: White
    I got the regular twin size for my toddler’s bed. Before, he had a yellow foam topper (one of the cheap ones) and a mattress protector that barely stretched to the bottom of the mattress. I LOVE that this is such a deep fit so I didn’t need to worry about it coming up a lot. We have a standard size twin mattress. For breathability, it does seem like it might trap heat- it is very warm to lay on the mattress now, but that doesn’t bother us. It is comfortable to lay on the mattress. I don’t think it is as thick as the foam topper we had, but that was expected. For a waterproof topper, it’s a pretty good fluffiness. Washing: Hours fit in our washing machine fine. However, I did have to dry it three times. You can’t dry it with anything else or whatever else is in there gets bundled up inside it. I didn’t take a star off for this because we generally have to run loads a second time in our dryer anyways, and it might be because of the weight that it takes longer to dry. overall, I am happy with the purchase! My toddler’s bed is much more “in place” with the sheets, it’s still comfortable and the cost is worth the money to me.

    Get your comfy on
    Color: Black, Size: King, Color: Black, Size: King
    This Bedsure King Mattress Topper - Viscose Made from Bamboo: This ultra-soft, thick, and fluffy pillow top mattress pad is made from bamboo and is 21 inches deep with a breathable, moisture-wicking design. It’s available in black and measures 78x80 inches. While it’s a great choice, it does take a bit of time to be able to use when you first receive it. First, you need to remove the packaging and then put it in the dryer on low fluff for 20 minutes. After that, you should lay it across your bed for 24 hours to allow it to expand fully. So, plan on not being able to use it for 2 days. However, following these instructions will ensure that you get the best ultra-soft thickness and the perfect fit for your bed, plus you’ll feel comfortable when you’re ready to sleep on it. This Bedsure King Mattress Topper is incredibly comfortable. You’ll have the best nights’ sleep of your life with it. The quality of this topper is exceptional. I washed it, dried it, and it still came out perfect. There were no clumps or bunching. It laid out perfectly on our king bed mattress. This thing feels amazing. I didn’t want to get out of bed. Being a coffee addict, I didn’t mind not having it first thing in the morning because it’s so soft. My husband even approved of this topper. I like how both of lying on it, I don’t feel him moving around. This Bedsure King Mattress Topper is not too soft that you sink in. It’s just right. It’s like a soft hug on your body, but not wrapped around you. After a few days of sleep on it, my back didn’t hurt. I was surprised. I also like how this topper helps protect and keep your mattress from wearing out quickly. It provides long-lasting stability to your mattress. This Bedsure King Mattress Topper is the perfect thickness. I love how my sheets still fit over this and my mattress with no problems. The topper stays put on my mattress also. I like the added elastic band for support keeping it in mattress. We just bought a new mattress and I wanted a topper to add more comfort so this was a perfect addition. Ive bought other Bedsure items for our condo, we rent out and guests always like those toppers. This the first time getting a single topper with no memory foam added separately. I have to say I like the added comfort this Bedsure King Mattress Topper - Viscose Made from Bamboo Ultra Soft Thick Fluffy Pillow Top Mattress Pad with 21 Inch Deep Pocket, Breathable, Moisture Wicking, Black, 78x80 Inch adds to our mattress top. It’s just the right added comfort. You can’t see the wording Bedsure through sheets either. I get do my stretches in bed, yoga and still able to do with no problems. The price is spot on for a nice quality mattress pad. Definitely highly recommend getting this for your mattress. You will be glad you did. It will last a long time.
