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.

    LOVE book...but a few swear words....
    Format: Paperback
    I LOVE this book! I love the plot! But, I would of reviewed this book 5 stars if: First, there are a few swear words throughout the book! As a kid, I find it disappointing to find a couple swear words in a kids book! The swear words, (a**, h***,d***) are used very loosely. I mean come on! Adding those swear words do NOT add to the plot and just make the book a 4 star review. Also, as a devoted Christian, I also find it disappointing that the characters say a couple of things ( God knows...., God....). If you are going to buy this book, I would make sure you're fine with a bit of language and some stuff......The plot is lovely, definitely a mystery book. The book definitely makes you think and get engaged. Finished book in 5 days and want the rest of the series. But if you buy this book, be careful of the swear words. I will read this book again....

    Amusing and compelling.
    Format: Paperback
    Stuart Gibb has written a thoroughly engaging and amusing mystery. Setting this series inside an animal park was a brilliant move and it shows. Teddy makes a great detective as well as a smart aleck, Teddy proves to be determined and unwilling to give up. At first he wants the adults to investigate Henry's murder but when the police turn him away, his mother brushes him off, and the park itself covers it up, Teddy decides it's up to him to investigate. He recruits the help of Summer McCraken, the daughter of the owner of FunJungle and together they manage to wreak havoc as they search for the answers that nobody seems to want them to find. I found myself flying through this book once I got started. It's a great mystery with lots of suspects as well as twists and turns that made it unpredictable and delightful to read. I read this aloud to a bunch of classes and they all loved it. Note: there is a mild amount of what many would consider bad language.

    Hilarious and Heartfelt
    Format: Hardcover
    I started reading this to see if my cousins (who are between 7 and 11) would like it-- and I ended up loving it. It's a fun, mysterious, animal-friendly book. It not only keeps the reader on edge as an exciting whodunnit but also touches on deep questions of animal welfare and consumerism. The characters, both the children and the adults are touchingly real, filled with flaws and always given the chance to redeem themselves. Although it takes place in an imaginary zoo and much of the book is comedy, everything that happens feels so authentic. I'd recommend it to both kids and adults-- everyone will get something different out of it.

    This book kept me guessing and housing until the end, it deserves five stars!
    Format: Kindle
    I started to read this book because my friend was reading it on the way to swim practice and I wondered what kept her so intrigued and unresponsive. I asked her about it and she told me what it was about and what was currently happening. I was already rather to start it. I bought it and immediately began to read. I read for about four hours straight- stupidly- no joke!! It was one of few mystery/action-adventure novels that are actually really unpredictable in great ways! All I could think about was the story as I say in middle-school today, wondering what would happen next. I would most certainly recommend this to any reader, wether out not they like mystery or not!
