        Step-by-Step Instructions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Step 1: Create the Yoke<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Row 1:<\/strong>
        Ch 52.
        Row 1: Dc in 4th ch from hook and each ch across. (50 dc)
        Ch 2, turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Shaping the Yoke with Raglan Increases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Row 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Dc in first 7 sts, ch 1 (place marker \u2013 this is first raglan corner)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Dc in next 12 sts, ch 1 (2nd raglan corner)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Dc in next 12 sts, ch 1 (3rd raglan corner)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Dc in next 7 sts, ch 2, turn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Row 3\u20138:<\/strong>
          Continue working dc in each stitch and 2 dc in each ch-1 space (corners). Add 1 extra stitch between increases every row (forming sleeves).
          By Row 8<\/strong>, you should have shaped the yoke enough to create armholes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          Step 3: Joining for the Body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Row 9:<\/strong>
          Work dc to first ch-1 space, skip the sleeve section (skip from ch-1 to next ch-1), dc across front, skip next sleeve, dc to end.
          You now have a body tube formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Body Round 10\u201320 (or desired length):<\/strong>
          Work dc in rounds. Use stitch markers to keep count. You can add increases every few rounds to give the skirt a flare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Optional \u2013 Shell Stitch Skirt (from Round 15):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Shell pattern:<\/em>\u00a0(2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in same st, skip 2 sts, sc in next st, skip 2, repeat.
            This gives a lacy look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n\n\n\n

            Step 4: Edging & Finishing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Neckline Edging:<\/strong>
            Work a round of sc around neckline. You can add a small scallop:
            (sc, skip 1, 5 dc in next st, skip 1)<\/em> repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Armhole Edging (Optional):<\/strong>
            Sc around armholes for a neat finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Back Opening:<\/strong>
            If you want a back button opening, leave a 2-inch opening at the back while working yoke.
            Add 1\u20132 buttonholes with ch-spaces. Sew buttons accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Step 5: Optional Additions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Sew a ribbon just below the yoke line and tie it at the front<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Add crocheted or satin flowers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Add a ruffled hem by increasing stitches in last 2 rounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

                Notes:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Always check gauge if you want a precise fit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Adjust size by adding chains to the starting yoke or increasing rounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
