      \ud83e\uddf6 Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      STEP 1: Start with the Yoke (Top Part)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      We’ll begin by working in rows or rounds to create the circular yoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Foundation Chain:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Chain 60 (or adjust based on pattern gauge and baby\u2019s chest size)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Yoke Setup:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Row 1: Double crochet (DC) in the 4th chain from hook, DC across. (You should have 57 DC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Row 2\u20136: Work increases at 4 points (typically front, back, and sleeves) to create a rounded yoke.\n
            \n
          • Use stitch markers to mark increase points<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • For example: DC to marker, (DC, ch 1, DC) in marked stitch, continue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            \ud83d\udcdd You can customize the yoke with shell stitches (5 DC in one stitch) for a lacy touch.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            STEP 2: Create Armholes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • After reaching your desired yoke depth (usually around 4\u20135\u201d), divide stitches:\n
                \n
              • Join front and back with chains under each arm to create armholes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Skip sleeve stitches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Join 20 front stitches, chain 5, skip 10 sleeve stitches, join 20 back stitches, chain 5, skip 10 sleeve stitches. Continue in the round.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Lacy Shell Pattern (Example):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • Round 1: SC around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Round 2: (SC, skip 2 stitches, 5 DC in next stitch, skip 2 stitches)<\/em> repeat around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Round 3: (SC in center DC of shell, 5 DC in SC)<\/em> repeat around<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    \ud83d\udd01 Repeat lace pattern for about 7\u201310 inches or your desired dress length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
