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.

    Cheap but must babysit your food (TL;DR: spend a bit more for a better one)
    Size: Medium Capacity
    I have the “Medium” size of this and have now had it for a year and a half. It basically does what a toaster/convection oven is supposed to do, but I do keep encountering issues with burning food. There is very little space between the coils and the rack so even thin things like slices of bread are very close to the heating elements. As there is no way to only use the lower coil, any toasting or cooking requires preheating so the coils aren’t all at full capacity for 5+ minutes. If you essentially preheat it, you can then toast or cook, but keep a close eye on it as even with preheating, you may need to turn and flip what you’re toasting every 30-90 seconds or the section under the coils will burn while the rest remains pale. When you’re making toast, it’s a lot of effort and practice to get your bagel or toast just right. As there is very little space and the elements are intense, even if you force the rack below where it’s meant to go (you can kind of wedge it between the guide and the bottom heating element cover), you can only fit things that are about 2-3” tall and those may still be a challenge. If you want to put a fairly tall piece of frozen lasagne in, for instance, the top will burn to a crisp before the center is even thawed. I’ve never had issues like these with previous toaster ovens, even small ones. I think they really did everyone a disservice by not making it about an inch or two taller inside. I also find it extremely challenging to clean. I’ve had many toaster ovens over the years and none have stained and discolored this easily. It’s an issue partly because of the small size inside, so you can’t reach everywhere, but even the glass door has gotten stains I cannot remove despite trying everything from lemon juice and baking soda to Ajax and Bar Keeper’s Friend. Overall, can you find ways to make it work as long as what you’re cooking is short? Yes. Is it convenient or ideal or a great toaster or toaster/convection oven? No. Update: About a month after I reviewed this, it caught on fire. I had about a teaspoon of oil on a baking sheet and when I flipped the piece of chicken halfway through time, a tiny bit splattered and because the top coils are right there, it burst into flames. I know enough to close the door and unplug immediately so it burned itself out. Now, the fact that oil splattered a bit is my carelessness, but as I said, it was only a teaspoon of oil so it’s not like it was being deep fried, and I have done the same thing with every toaster oven I’ve owned and never had that happen, because the coils shouldn’t be so darned close that they touch the food. So that was it for me. I spent about $25 more for a Hamilton Beach Easy Reach that I LOVE. It has enough space, doesn’t take up much counter space, and is a breeze to keep clean. I wish I had just spent a little more the first time and gone with what I have now. Save yourself my mistake and a toaster oven ending up in a landfill and spend the extra $$ to get one that works better and is safer. My parents have the older model of what I now own and have had it for over a decade, using it at least once a day, often twice a day.

    Works well.
    Size: Medium Capacity
    Air fryer and toaster work very well (Thats all I tried so far.). About 2 medium potatoes sliced into wedges fit in tray. The top and bottom get very hot. Will burn if you touch them.

    Testing it out
    Size: Medium Capacity
    ORIGINAL REVIEW, OCT 2025: So far this little oven is doing great. Right now it's 4 stars but has the potential to change as I use it more often, right now I've only used it a handful of times. Heats up quickly so there's no growing old while waiting for preheating, a definite plus. The air fry option is super quiet, way more quiet than any air fryer I've ever had. Downside is there is no way to adjust temp for this setting so you really have to keep an eye on the food to see when it's done. DO NOT USE PARCHMENT PAPER IN THIS OVEN! I made that mistake because I use it in my regular full size oven as well as my old air fryer, but it's not compatible with this oven! I almost started a fire! Good thing I didn't walk away from it. I like that there's a timer feature so it will shut off, very helpful in times you are in the middle of something else at the same time and this avoids your food getting burnt. There's also a stay on feature in case you prefer that. For the timer you have to make sure you pass the 10 minute mark and then set it to the time you want. The oven is smaller than I expected. I don't know yet if a pizza will actually fit, I'll update when I attempt it. I've only made English muffin pizzas and French bread pizzas so far. One thing I really like about this oven is that it tends to cook food evenly. I've had toaster ovens that cook more on one side than the other and more on top than the bottom and it's frustrating! The stuff I've made in this oven were nice and crispy both on top and the bottom and it's so nice to not have pizza that's burnt on top and mushy on the bottom! I'm glad finally a manufacturer figured this out. This toasts really nice too. Watch the time with this. My bread got toasted way faster than with my old one! Overall I'm happy with this. I'll update as necessary.
