Bella Newborn Dress - A free Crochet Pattern

Bella Dress Crochet Pattern
This Bella Crochet Dress was one of my first patterns.  How I loved making this. I can't believe I never made it free on my blog. Today I am changing that. This dress is for a newborn. I designed this using Caron's Simply Soft and what a fantastic drape this has. You won't be unhappy with this choice.
