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.

    Excellent product at a very fair price
    Scent: Caffeine
    I have been using the caffeine version of this shampoo and conditioner for a little over three months. I like to give a new shampoo and conditioner about three months before concluding if it’s a hit or a miss. Originally, I was using the biotin version of this shampoo for approximately two years and was very happy with the results. I needed to reorder, so I was looking over the other options in this same brand. This brand is considered to be a good quality product. I did do a bit of research before originally purchasing the biotin version. The biotin version is a lightweight product that did not weigh my hair down with build up over several uses. I ended up needing to use a clarifying shampoo only about once a month, as opposed to once every week. I have very fine, thin hair and a lot of products I have tried over the years have not worked for me because of the heaviness that leaves my hair flat. I did not have this result with the Bellisso Biotin shampoo. Bellisso is very well priced, and in my opinion, is comparable to more expensive salon products. I do like to try new things, so trying a different version of a brand that I was already happy with seemed like it didn’t come with much risk. Comparing the two versions, biotin vs caffeine: The biotin option worked very well on my fine, thin hair. The shampoo had a bit of a lower amount of foaming, but it did get my hair clean. The biotin conditioner also worked well, and was easy to rinse out and did not leave a residue on my hair. The caffeine version is very different than the biotin version, but neither in a good way or a bad way. Just different. I noticed that much less product of the caffeine shampoo and conditioner is needed to get the job done. The amount of product needed is probably highly dependent on your particular hair, so keep in mind, I probably have less hair than most people. The shampoo foams ALOT. I didn’t mind this at all. Per the instructions on the bottle, you are supposed to apply and massage your scalp and rinse after 2-3 minutes so the caffeine can be absorbed into your scalp, so having that extra foaming helps. This is meant to stimulate circulation in the scalp, and promote hair growth. If you are the girl that is always in a hurry, this is probably not the version of this shampoo for you :) The caffeine conditioner goes a very long way, so best to start with half as much as you normally use and go from there. All in all, I’m happy with both versions and I would definitely consider trying another version of this brand. I would highly recommend this brand in whichever version suits your personal hair type and needs. The price is right, as is the quality.

    Gotta Buy Them All!!
    Scent: Keratin
    I currently have these sets: - Rice Water - Keratin - Biotin - Cleanser I have been a hairstylist for about fourteen years and have tried EVERY expensive, professional salon brand product out there that promised great results for moisture, repair, scalp health, etc. and none serve the purpose for more than a day or two. These products have been a game changer. I have very curly, fine-medium strands with high density that is consistently dry, brittle, extremely frizzy, and tends to clump together with most products I have used that promise to repair and assist. I started using the cleanser (I recommend using it ONCE a week at max -- it exceeds the expectations and will leave your hair feeling stripped and dry if you use it too often) to start with, to remove build-up. My hair obviously felt incredibly dry after this, so I washed a second time with Biotin and then finished with the biotin conditioner -- for the first time in years, my hair feels AMAZING. It has been three days since the last wash. My hair typically feels heavy and weighed down after the first day. I usually braid my hair lightly and put it in a silk bonnet and I wake up with it having absorbed any bit of moisture it can, and it still felt like straw. After two uses of the biotin, I am able to go 3-4 days between washes and my hair and scalp still feel light, fluffy, fresh, and my hair is incredibly soft. My curls went from loose, messy waves to finally retaining the curl pattern again. My hair isn't breaking off every time I run a pick through it. I can actually easily detangle it while the conditioner is in, and was able to leave the conditioner in for a treatment overnight and it felt even better. My roommates have been using the various ones I have gotten for us, as well, and expressed really enjoying working with their hair again afterward. It responds well to other products cleanses really well afterward. Just a reminder: Most of these are sulfate free. You will not get much in the way of bubbly lathers from this, but your hair WILL be clean. Work it into your hair for 3-5 minutes before rinsing the shampoo out and even let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing while you do everything else. More does not equal better -- this product goes a long way! We just purchased the Apple Cider Vinegar and Nettle formulas and I'll update if they are not as great as the others!

    Buy it!!!! Amazing!!!!
    Scent: Rice Water
    I purchased the Rice Water set..... And let me tell you, I don't think I will ever go back to using anything else!!! I have only used once as I just got it yesterday, and I am truly blown away by the outcome already!!! My hair is extremely, unbelievably damaged from blonde and excessive heat. It has been breaking and thinning like crazy and really just makes me cry sometimes! (I am also 40 so there's that age factor too. I have just started on several quality vitamins, I've decided I will lay off going to the salon and let the blonde grow out, and I have been avoiding heat for a couple weeks now but it has still been super dry and brittle). Well one use of this shampoo/conditioner set and my hair is SO SOFT, SMOOTH, AND SHINY!!!! Like whaaaaat?!? And it smells absolutely wonderful! Not an overpowering perfumy smell, but just a very soft, subtle, and sweet smell! This is definitely a keeper!!! Buy it girl, you won't regret it!! 🙌🏼🥰

    Works right away
    Scent: Purple
    Perfect for wanting your blonde to be on the white side and not yellowish or brassy look. Great of upkeep in-between salon visits. Hair feels moisturized after and soft. BE CAREFUL as this does STAIN your hands and white in the shower / bath. Rinse it off your hands immediately. Bleach will remove any drops or drips. Has a ton. of pigment in it so everything must be throughly rinsed. (no need to freak out first time but it is a bit messy so be prepared but results worth it)

    Great products
    The Ordinary Serum Favorites Set is a great way to try some of the brand’s most popular products without committing to full sizes. Each serum feels lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer into a routine. I noticed my skin looked smoother and more balanced after a couple of weeks of use. The simple, no-frills formulas are effective and perfect for anyone who wants targeted skincare without the high price tag. Overall, a smart and budget-friendly starter set
