Free Crochet Trapeze Dress Pattern

Sizing completely incorrect

I checked my gauge multiple times for this pattern. My gauge should have put my work slightly larger than the med i was making. My measurements were slightly smaller than the xs. I was using size 3 viscose/wool/cashmere blend and a 5.5 mm hook. I ended up with a skirt top width of 17 inches, just about the measurement of the xs. Yet my gauge was large. The sizing is way off, I will use the basic idea of this and make to measure, because this pattern is wonky.

• Thank you for your feedback. Mathematically, the gauge should get you the size indicated for the medium. At 18.5 sts per 4 inches that will get you 4.65 stitches per inch. Have you double checked the gauge you’re getting on your project as you have worked? This particular pattern is rated Intermediate because the gauge is a challenge to keep consistent with all the chains. Even as experienced crocheters, our gauge can change between our gauge swatch and the actual project itself. 4.65 stitches per inch x 20.5 inches = 95.325 sts  With the pattern repeat requiring 94 sts, it’s not going to make much difference in one or two fewer stitches for the entire project if gauge is consistent overall. We hope you like your finished project. If there is any more that we can do to help, please don’t hesitate to reach out on the pattern’s Q&A page.
