  1. Hello! I absolutely love this pattern and am hoping to make a couple of these for my girls for Christmas. :) I have a question though... on the robe on row 2 it has *2dc, (dc in 2dc,2dc in next dc) 4 times*. I'm having a hard time trying to figure that out. Do you mean that I should 2dc in the sixth stitch then dc in the 7th and 2 dc in the 8th or 9th... and then do that 4 more times?

    Thank you so much for posting this pattern . :)

    I love this pattern so far. I have completed the body and right back, but I had a question about the front. Does it attach right to the row 21 of the body or do you make it on its own and then sew it together?

    If it attaches to row 21 of the body then where do you attach it? Thanks for your help with this very pretty pattern!

  5. Thank you for this pattern. I needed a swimsuit cover-up to make for the granddaughters bathing suits I just made and the jacket on this will be the perfect addition. Thanks again.

  8. Row 2 goes like this: ch3, (this counts as a dc), turn, dc in the next 5dc. Then put 2dc in the next dc. Then work the series of stitches in the parentheses a total of 4 times. Then dc in the next 14dc, then repeat the stitches that fall between the asterisks * one more time starting with 2dc in the first stitch and repeating the series of stitches in the parentheses 4 times. Then finish by putting a dc in the last 6dc.

  9. This does not make sense. "Row 29- ch1, turn, sc in 5 sc, leave rem 3 sc undone. (5)"

    Where do you line up the remained three single crochets when you stitch the Shoulders and form the arm holes?

    1. They won't line up anywhere. If you look at the picture of the back of the nightgown, the rem three will create the corner where you attach the button.

  17. When you refer to the wrong side, what exactly do you mean? I just finished row 33. If I hold the garment in front of me, do I skip 5 stitches starting at the round seem, or Five stitches from where I began the right back?
    Thank you for sharing your patterns for free and for your help.

    1. The wrong side would be the interior of the dress. So you would count 5 stitches from where you ended the back row.

  18. Thank you. I just reread my question and I am embarrassed that I spelled seam, seem. Guess it is always best to proofread before sending. :-)
    I have finished the nightie, but it looks very small around the neckline. I don't actually have a doll to try it on as it is meant for a gift. Crossing my fingers that I've done it correctly and it fits. Thanks again for your help.
