Notes:

The pattern is written with us terms.
The Skirt is worked from top and ends at the bottom and the suspenders are worked separately.
The suspenders are measured so that the skirt sets on the waist not the hips and the skirt will be knee length or a little bit above the knee based on your baby’s measurements

Pattern Instructions:

Skirt:

Chain a 48 CM (50.5,50.5,53.5,56) chain, join to the first stitch (make sure not to twist the chain)

Round 1: hdc in each chain around

To create a ribbing effect at the waist band we will work 3 rows of Front Post & Back Post hdc (see the special stitches section above)

Round 2-4: ch2 work *one front post dc and one Back post hdc*. repeat** till the end of the round, slip stitch to the first stitch (not the chain 2 space)

We will start to work one sc round and one hdc round but first reverse the round direction so that the right side of the stitch facing you will be the inside of the skirt and the other side of the stitch is the on the outside.

we will not slip stitch at the end of rounds we will continue working alternating between sc and hdc each round so its a good idea to put a stitch marker to mark the end of each round and the beginning of the new one.

Round 5. *2 sc in the first stitch, 1 sc in each of the next 2 stitches.* Repeat from * to * to the end of the round.

Round 6. Hdc in each stitch around

Round 7. Sc in each stitch around

Repeat Round 6-7 till the length of the skirt without the waist band reaches 16 cm (16,17,18.5,20) or your desired length.

Attach the second color (pink/mint) and work 2 hdc in each stitch around cut yarn and weave in ends

Suspenders: Do two of them

With the second color (mint/pink) Chain a 38 cm(42,45,48,50)
Row 1. Work sc in each chain.

Row 2. Sc in the very first stitch and all the remaining stitches

Row 3. Sc in each stitch till you reach the last 6 stitches chain 3 skip the next 3 sc and work 1 sc in each of the last three stitches

Row 4. Sc in the first three stitches 3 sc in the chain three space and sc in each stitch around

Row 5 Sc in each stitch around.

Finishing Instructions:

Sew the ends without the button hole of each strap together.
Then sew them to the center of the back of the skirt, from the inside.
Sew the buttons to the waist band.
For the mint and pale yellow version insert the Elastic thread with a yarn needle in through the waist band.
For the beige and pink version make a crochet chain (using double strands and a 4mm) hook that is bigger than the waist measurements with 15-20 cm and insert it through the waist band and tie it in bow.
