I cut the section to heal and toes so that the remaining tube measures 4 3 / 4 "long. The top opening of the mean is the top of the dress, the raw edge (the edge of the cut) will be the bottom. You will turn in 1 / 8 "raw edge so that their hidden inside the suit. The use of cotton quilt weight and a size 4 crochet hook, you'll want to make a point picot trim around the dress hemline work through two layers so that the raw edge is inside.

Picot Trim: Attach to weave a single, chain 2, low in the second chain from hook, insert hook through both layers of 1 / 8 "away from its last point and simple crochet, chain 2, point low in the second chain from hook, insert hook through both layers of 1 / 8 "away from your last stitch ... go around the bottom edge of all clothing in this way and then finish by tilting their first single stitch crochet and knit top end.
