      \ud83e\uddf5 Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83e\udea2 Step 1: Waistband (Ribbing)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Ch 8<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Row 1<\/strong>: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and across (7 sc). Turn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Row 2\u201360<\/strong> (or until length reaches 16\u201318 inches):
        Ch 1, sc in BLO (back loop only) across (7 sc). Turn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Join both ends with sl st to form a band.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udccc Tip:<\/em> You can add a small elastic inside the band for extra stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        \ud83d\udc57 Step 2: Forming the Skirt Base<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Turn the waistband so the ribbing runs vertically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Round 1<\/strong>: Ch 1, sc evenly around the edge of the ribbed waistband (place 1 sc in each row end), join with sl st. You should have around 60 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Round 2<\/strong>: Ch 2 (counts as first dc), dc in each stitch around. Join with sl st.
          You now have the base to build your skirt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n\n\n\n

          \ud83c\udf00 Step 3: Building the Skirt (Shell or Ruffle Pattern)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Here\u2019s an easy ruffle design:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Round 3<\/strong>: Ch 3, 2 dc in the same st, sk 2 sts, sc in next st,<\/em> repeat from * around. Join with sl st.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Round 4<\/strong>: Sl st into first dc space, ch 3, 2 dc in same space, sc in next dc space. Repeat around.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Repeat Round 4 until desired skirt length is achieved (about 6\u20137 more rounds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83d\udca1 Optional styles<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Add more increases in shell stitches to make it extra frilly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Alternate colors every 2 rounds for a stripe pattern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              \ud83c\udf80 Step 4: Finishing Touches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Fasten off and weave in all yarn ends with a yarn needle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • You can sew a ribbon or small decorative bow at the waistband.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Attach a soft button or pom-pom for charm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Steam block the skirt gently for a neat finish (optional).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                \u2705 Tips for Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Use soft, washable yarn suitable for babies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Always check your gauge if size is important.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Customize easily by adding or subtracting rows or stitches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
