          The Pattern: The Meadow Melody Frock<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          This pattern is worked from the top down, starting with the round yoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Part 1: The Yoke<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Size: 9-12 months (for other sizes, refer to the “Sizing and Materials” section above)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Starting Chain:<\/strong> Ch 76 + 3<\/strong> (the 3 chains count as your first dc<\/code>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Row 1:<\/strong> Work dc<\/code> in the 4th ch from the hook and in each ch across. You should have a total of 76 dc<\/code> stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Row 2 (Create Chain Spaces):<\/strong> 1 dc<\/code> in the first st, ch 1<\/code>, sk 1 st<\/code>. Repeat this across the row. You should have 36 ch 1<\/code> spaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Row 3 (Building the Yoke):<\/strong> This row begins the fan stitch pattern. Work 2-dc clusters and fan stitches, following the instructions from the video to build out the yoke pattern.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Continue building the yoke<\/strong> with rows of different stitches until the yoke is the desired size. The final row should have a total of 18 fan stitch groups.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Part 2: Dividing for Sleeves and Body<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Mark Divisions:<\/strong> Lay the yoke flat and use stitch markers to divide the fan stitch groups.\n
                \n
              • Front:<\/strong> 6 fan stitch groups.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Back:<\/strong> 6 fan stitch groups (3 on each side).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Sleeves:<\/strong> 3 fan stitch groups on each side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Join the Body:<\/strong> Join the sleeve sections and continue working in the round to form the main body of the frock. This will close the armholes and create a single, continuous round for the skirt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • First Skirt Row:<\/strong> In the first fan row of the skirt, you should have a total of 20 fan stitches.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                1. Continue Fan Stitch Pattern:<\/strong> Continue working in the round, repeating the fan stitch pattern for a total of 14 rows<\/strong>, or until the skirt reaches the desired length.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Part 4: The Border<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  1. Skirt Border (Color Change):<\/strong> Join a new color to the hem of the skirt. Work a few rows with a pattern of double crochet groups and chain spaces, as shown in the video, to create a decorative border.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Hem Border:<\/strong> Add a final border to the hem with a shell stitch pattern (e.g., 8 dc<\/code> in a space).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  3. Neckline and Back Opening:<\/strong> Work a single crochet border around the back opening and the neckline for a clean finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  4. Add Buttons:<\/strong> Attach buttons to the back opening to complete the frock.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    Final Steps:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Weave in All Ends:<\/strong> Use your yarn needle to weave in all loose ends securely for a neat and professional finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Block the Frock:<\/strong> For a polished look, gently block the finished frock to help the stitches and shape set nicely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
