A full-length, diamond motif-based crochet dress worked from the hem upward in repeating twelve-row panels. The open chain-loop fabric and cluster structure block beautifully and allow the length to be adjusted easily. A softly draping hood-collar is worked separately and attached at the neckline, with neat edging and a small button loop at centre back.
