🧵 Pattern Instructions

🔹 1. Yoke (Top Section)

Foundation:

• Chain based on chart above. Join with sl st to form a circle.

• Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in each chain around, join with sl st

  • Each round increases the width for armholes and chest

🔸 Stop increasing when yoke reaches the shoulder-to-underarm length (around 4–5 inches for toddler)

🔹 2. Armhole Separation

• Ch 3, dc in each st to first armhole

• Skip number of sts for armhole (10–15 depending on size), ch 5–10 to bridge underarm

• Dc across back

• Repeat on other side

• You now work in the round for the body

🔹 3. Skirt Section

Round 1 (Join Skirt):

• Dc in each stitch around including chains under the arm

• Join with sl st

• Round 2: Ch 3, dc in same st, skip 1, 2 dc in next (creates a gentle flare)

• Continue repeating this increase round every 3–4 rows to create a flowy skirt

Continue until desired length:

• 6–12 months: ~10″ from underarm

• 2–3 years: ~12–14″

• 4–5 years: ~16–18″

🔹 4. Optional Sleeves or Ruffles
