I give up

I tried and tried, really I did. I began Banana's pink dress about 4 times, and it just wouldn't work. I tried crocheting in the round, I tried crocheting a front and back to sew together, and it just wouldn't cooperate. So for now, I am abandoning the pink crochet dress for Banana (the weather isn't really right for it now anyhoo), and I'm knitting her a pink sweater instead.

But it might not be wide enough.

So I might have to frog it. Again.

Maybe I should use a pattern.
