# Mint Green Daisy Baby Dress Free Crochet Pattern

Daisies on mint — the sweetest little dress! This mint green baby dress is scattered with white daisy appliques that look like they were just picked from a meadow. It’s fresh, it’s cheerful, and it’s the dress I picture for spring photos, first birthdays, and sunny-day outings.

A simple A-line baby dress with daisy motifs sewn on — the dress is quick, the daisies are fun, and the result is pure sweetness.

Sophie’s Tips

  • Scatter the daisies like real flowers — clusters of 2-3 look the most natural.
  • The yellow centers are what make them read as daisies — don’t skip them!
  • This dress in butter yellow with white daisies is equally sweet.

Fresh as a daisy — the sweetest little dress!
