Patterns for crochet thread dresses

[jissy]

I have a daughter who will be 5 next month. She is in a size 5T 5/6 right now(she's a big girl but not overweight). She has severe eczema and I need cotton dresses to crochet for her but I don't know anything about cotton and what is ok or to expensive or if any pattern I have for yarn will be ok for cotton. Help please, suggestions anything. Thank you girls.

 

I have a nice a-line pattern in yarn(sport weight) but i just realized this kid wont be able to wear it due to her eczema. Oh how stupid for not thinking of this. I guess her sister will get that one when I eventually finish it. lol

you could use sport-weight cotton for the pattern you have. one example http://www.cottonclouds.com/shopping/yarn_info.asp?id=11

are there places that sell cotton in different weights in bulk or cheaper than what I am seeing?

Not sure what good prices.

Elmore-pisgah sells size 5 thread in 1-lb cones. It also comes in cable.

I haven't seen a sportweight cotton at an economical price. I like Paton's Grace, but I think it's expensive, unless you can get it at a good sale.

 

This Bernat organic cotton yarn looks nice: http://store.knitting-warehouse.com/yarn-bernat-organiccotton.html

Thank you. I found the peaches and cream. It's cheaper online at the site you gave than it is at walmart.($11.50 at walmart)

 

Is there a place just for crochet dress patterns for cotton yarn that I can search?
