All of these patterns include a suggested yarn brand and type for the frock. We suggest following along with the original pattern. Consider allergies and garment care when choosing a yarn as well.
If you cannot find the yarn listed on the project, the best yarn for baby crochet patterns is something machine washable and soft.

These are all lovely. I like making baby girl dresses. I have made them for my own grand daughter and as gifts for many friends little girls. I also have sold them. This ebook is good for me since it has sleeveless styles. I live in Florida and we really don't need long sleeves.
