Thread crochet patterns...

I am looking to use thread for crocheting dresses for my girls. I need cotton only due to skin issues. I can't find any pattern books about it nor any free patterns online.
What am I doing wrong? Am I not typing in the right thing to google? any info would be greatly appreciated.

I realize it's been a while since you asked this and you've hopefully found what you were looking for by now. On the off chance that you haven't, I suspect your searching for something that people don't make specifically.

Most patterns that use crochet cotton are for doilies or dishcloths. I would search for something like "free crochet pattern girl's dress".

You might have to do a bit of trial and error with the yarn weight and make a few swatches to determine if you might need to use more than one strand of your cotton thread/yarn.

Good luck.

Here's a link for a short sleeved shirt for an adult with thread motiffs.A Short Sleeve Crochet Top. Doing motiffs and then joining them in a certain way for a child's jumper might work. Also, if you click into the "crochet for kids" it explains how to make a dress for a child using various size crochet thread. I love the delicate look of crocheted thread.

Thank you both so much! No one replied and looked at so many different things and well life happens so I had to put it on the back burner as I just couldn't figure out where to look. Great suggestions thank you!

I found a crochet book wieth a girls drss in it. I will look it up and get back to you. I can't remember if it was thread or yarn. It was a cute dress. It was in layers.

That would be awesome! Thank you!

The pattern book I was looking for was right under my nose the entire time. Isn't that the way it usually goes?

You did not say what size, but that is adjustable with needle size of course. I am assuming they are not adult girls.

The book I found the layered dress in is House of White Birches "Old Time Crochet " pg. 124 Twinkletoes Dress.Hope this helps.
