If you post a picture somewhere else on the internet of an item that you have made from my patterns, please be kind to provide the direct link to my website. Do not change names of my patterns. I’ve worked hard on these patterns and changing the name does not change the pattern. This is a copyrighted pattern. Be respectful of that fact.
I used a H hook and scrap yarn. I also used a 1” plastic ring.
I did one with 2 colors and 1 with just one color. If you want to use 2 colors,
change colors at the 4th row and do 4th and 5th row in a different color. Change
back to main color after that.
Row 1: Do 19 sc around the ring. Sl st tog, ch 2 (count this as first dc). Row
2: In the front loop only, do 13 dc. Turn and go back behind the 13 dc and dc in
the back loops (14 dc total). Sl st tog. Row 3: Ch 3 and dc in same st. *Skip
next st, then do dc ch 1 dc in next st. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st in
the top of the first dc. Row 4: Ch 3, *do 2 dc ch 1 2 dc in middle of the do dc
of the 3rd row. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st in the top of the first
dc. Row 5: Repeat row 4, fasten off. Fold the dress down, and do a sl st after
the second shell through the back 2 shells. Row 6: Ch 3, *do 2 dc ch 1 2 dc in
middle of the do dc of the shell from the previous row. Repeat from * twice (so
you have 3 shells in the front). (Only the top layer, not the back shells). Now,
dc in the 2nd shell both the back and the front shells like you did in the other
side. Flip over and *do 2 dc ch 1 2 dc in middle of the do dc of the shell from
the previous row. Repeat from * twice (so you have 3 shells in the back). Sl st
into the top of the first ch 3. Row 7: Ch 3, 2 dc ch 1 2 dc in the middle of the
first shell. Dc in the space between the next shells. 2 dc ch1 2dc in the next
shell middle. Dc in the space between the next shells. 2dc ch 1 2dc in the
middle of the next shell. Dc in the dc from row 6 on the side. 2 dc ch 1 2dc in
the middle of the next shell. Dc in the space between the next shells. 2dc ch 1
2dc in the middle of the next shell. Sl st into the top of the first ch 3. Row
8: Ch 3, 2 dc ch 1 2 dc in the middle of the first shell. Dc in the space in
front of the dc and dc in the space after the dc. 2 dc ch1 2dc in the next shell
middle. Dc in the space between the next shells. 2dc ch 1 2dc in the middle of
the next shell. Dc in the dc from previous row on the side. 2 dc ch 1 2dc in the
middle of the next shell. Dc in the space in front of the dc and dc in the space
after the dc. 2dc ch 1 2dc in the middle of the next shell. Sl st into the top
of the first ch 3. Row 9: Repeat row 8 but this time have 3 dc on either sides
of shells. Row 10: Repeat row 8, but this time have 4 dc on either sides of
shells. Row 11: Repeat row 8, but this time have 5 dc on either sides of shells.
Row 12: Repeat row 8, but this time have 6 dc on either sides of shells. Row 13:
Repeat row 8, but this time have 7 dc on either sides of shells. You are just
increasing dcs in the middle to increase the skirt of the dress. Row 14: Repeat
row 8, but this time have 8 dc on either sides of shells. Row 15: Repeat row 8,
but this time have 9 dc on either sides of shells. After this row, ch 3 and sc
in each st to create a ruffle. Go all the way around. Fasten off and weave in
ends. Refer to picture to help you do this.
