Let’s start knitting.
Cast on 42 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. The yoke of the dress will be knitted in turning rows.
The first 3 stitches and the last 3 stitches of each row (including edge stitches) will form the placket. When transitioning to circular knitting, we will overlap the placket lines.
Row 1: k, 2 p, 36 purl, 2 p, k.
Row 2: k, 5 p, 1 knit, 8 knit, 1 knit, 10 knit, 1 knit, 8 knit, 1 knit, 5 knit, k.
Row 3: k, 2 p, 44 purl, 2 p, k.
Row 4: In this row, create a buttonhole!!! k, 1 knit, 3 knit, 1 knit, 10 knit, 1 knit, 12 knit, 1 knit, 10 knit, 1 knit, 6 knit, k.
Row 5: k, 2 p, 52 purl, 2 p (yarn over, knit), k.
Row 6: k, 7 knit, 1 knit, 12 knit, 1 knit, 14 knit, 1 knit, 12 knit, 1 knit, 7 knit, k.

Row 15: k, 2 p, 92 purl, 2 p, k.
Row 16: In this row, join the fabric in a circle, switch to circular needles (98 stitches on the needles)!!!
Connect the placket stitches. Slip 3 stitches at the end of the row onto an additional needle. Look at the fabric; the placket stitches with the buttonhole should be on top of the stitches of the second placket. Next, knit the placket stitches in pairs, knitting them as knit stitches. In the end, you should have 3 stitches on the needle (see the video). 11 knit, close the sleeve stitches, 24 knit, close the sleeve stitches, 11 knit. You should have 49 stitches on the needles.
Row 17: Purl the stitches with the edge stitches without completing 2 stitches, which will be purled together on the wrong side. You should have a total of 48 stitches on the needles.
Now, begin knitting the pattern. The pattern repeat is 4 stitches.
Rows 18-22: k3, p1, *.
Row 23: k1, k1, k1, p1, *.
Row 24: Work according to the pattern, knit the yarn overs as crossed knit stitches, k5, p1, *.
Row 25: k1, k3, k1, p1, *.
Rows 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42: Work according to the pattern!
Row 27: k1, k5, k1, p1, *.

Row 37: k1, k15, k1, p1, *.
Row 39: k1, k17, k1, p1, *.
Row 41: k1, k19, k1, p1, *.
Row 42: Finish with a single crochet border. Knit a single crochet from the stitch on the needle, then knit a single crochet from the space between the stitches. The number of single crochets should be twice the number of stitches! This creates a beautiful wave along the bottom edge of the dress.
Finally, sew on the button, hide the ends, and the dress is complete!
If desired, you can decorate the dress with a flower.
