Finally the pattern is ready to post! I would like to thank, Wanda, Jenn, Jherica, and Daisy for testing this pattern for me. This is my own design. DO NOT SELL THIS PATTERN, that would be grimy, seeing as it's free right here! Also, the pattern is mine, it isn't up to you to sell it. Now, the aprons you make with this pattern, they belong to you, sell them, give them away, what ever you want, you made it, you worked hard on, it's yours.
If you find any errors please let me know. This pattern made an apron that fits my 4 year old, who is just about a size 4.
Gauge: with 4 ply cotton and an I hook 6 rows and 9 dc=3”
Materials Needed: H, I and J crochet hooks, a tapestry needle, and 6.5oz. 4plyweight worsted cotton (Such as Lily Sugar and Cream) in your color choice.
For purposes of this, the wrong side is whichever side you weave your ends on.
Starting at the top
Row 1: With a ”J” Ch 30 (switch to I hook), Dc in 4th ch from hook, and each ch across, 3 skipped chs count as 1st dc (28 dc) ch 3 turn
Row 2-9: Dc in each SPACE between stitches across. Ch 3 turn. At end of row 9 do not ch 3, finish off and weave in ends.
Beginning the body:
Foundation ch: with “J” hook ch 9. (now with “I” hook join with sc to first space of the top piece you just finished. With Wrong side facing ) Sc in ea space along bottom of the first piece then with “J” hook ch 12 at the other side. Turn.
Row 1:With “I” hook Dc in 4th ch from hook and in next 8 chs, dc in next 27 sc, dc in nxt 8 chs. Ch 3 turn.
Row 2-22: Dc in each space between the sts of the previous row, ch 3. turn. Do not finish off at end of row 22 ch 1 and turn and you will go right into the edging.
Edging:
At end of row 22, ch 1 turn, work a sc in each space along bottom. Ch 1 at end of row and working along the side of apron work 2 sc around ea dc, and ch 3 up the side. Work 4 sc in the corner. Then 1 sc in each space across to where the top and bottom parts connect. Work 3 sc in the “joint”, then 2 sc in the side of ea dc and ch 3 to top. Then Sl St in each space along the top and sl st around the side of last dc of row now work 2 dc around the side of same dc as last sl st, and around ea dc and ch 3 sp, work 3 sc in joint , and then 1 sc in each space back out to side. Work 4 sc in corner. Then 2 sc around ea dc and ch 3 to bottom. Sl st to 1st ch1.
Row 2: sc in 1st sc, *ch3, sc in nxt sc* across bottom edge. Finish off and weave in ends.
Waist Tie

Pin the pocket to the apron, you can use the dc in the 1st row (where you weaved in the tie) as a guide. This pocket is just the size to evenly line up with the 4 center dc that you went under J I positioned mine so the top of my pocket lined up with the BOTTOM of the 5th row of dc. And I used the sc around the edges to evenly space my sewing.
Neck Strap:
Row 1: With wrong side facing join with sl st to 1st sc. Ch1 sc in same st, and in next 2,(3 sc) ch 1 turn.
Row 2-48: Sc in each sc (3 sc) ch 1 turn

I like this apron and would like to make one each for my son and daughter. But, being relatively new to crocheting, is 4-ply cotton a yarn or a thread?
HI Lynette, the cotton used for this is a yarn, like the Lily Sugar and Cream. Hope you have fun making these for your children!
I have a question about the edging. After you slip stitch across the top, it says to dc down the side instead of sc. Is there a reason for this? I have already make 4 of these aprons and love them, but I keep wondering about that dc part of the edging.
Sorry this response has taken so long. Um, thank-you for poointing that out, it's simpoly a typo the edgins is done in sc. I'd love to see the aprons you have made! I'm so glad you enjoy the pattern!
I'd be happy to send a picture if I had your email address. Is there a way for me to post a picture right on this site?
Pictures can be e-mailed to me at lovinglyhandmade@gmail.com
Looking forward to giving this a try! Thanks for sharing this pattern!
Hope you have as much fun with it as I have Ally... I still get a kick out of it when I see more people making the apron!
