            Let\u2019s begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            \ud83e\uddf5 Step 1: Waistband (Flat)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Foundation Row<\/strong>:
              Ch 10 (adjust height for desired waistband width).
              Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (9 sc)
              Ch 1, turn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

              Ch 1, turn.
              Repeat until strip fits snugly around the child\u2019s waist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Join ends<\/strong>:
              Fold strip in half, sl st through both layers to join and form a band.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            4. Elastic Insert<\/strong>:
              Cut elastic to waist measurement minus 1 inch.
              Thread it through the waistband tube (optional: fold band over elastic and stitch down later).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83e\uddf5 Step 2: Base Skirt Body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              Now we crochet the body from the waistband downward<\/strong>, in the round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. Set-Up Round<\/strong>:
                Turn your work to begin working along the long edge<\/strong> of the waistband.
                Sc evenly around, placing 1 sc per row end.
                Join with sl st, ch 2 (does not count as stitch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Foundation Rounds<\/strong>:
                Dc in each st around for 2\u20133 rounds to create the base structure.
                Increase slightly if needed (every 10\u201312 sts) to add gentle flare.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                \ud83e\uddf5 Step 3: Ruffle Tiers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                Each ruffle tier is worked on its own foundation round<\/strong>, crocheted in place onto the skirt base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                You can do 2 or 3 ruffle layers<\/strong>, depending on skirt length and fullness desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                \u2b50 First Ruffle Tier (Topmost)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Join Yarn<\/strong> at the top row of dc base. You can join at the round where you’d like the ruffle to begin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. Round 1 \u2013 Foundation Row<\/strong>:
                  Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in same st.
                  Skip 1 st, 2 dc in next st<\/em> around.
                  Join with sl st.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Round 2 \u2013 Shell Stitch Ruffle<\/strong>:
                  Sk 1 st, 5 dc in next st (shell), sk 1 st, sl st in next<\/em> repeat around.

                    \n
                  1. Go to 2nd row down from first ruffle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Attach yarn in the unused front loop<\/strong> of that row.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
