Tulle Skirt:
For the tulle, I measured my pieces at 20 inches for 12 months. For other sizes measure from
bodice to desired length and times that by 2 then add 2 inches for the knot.
For a real full skirt, use 2 pieces of tulle per ch 2 sp. For my skirt I used 1 piece per space.

We are going to use the Lark Foot Knot to add the tulle to the bodice in the ch 2 spaces we
made at the end. Hold the bodice so that the hook slides into the ch 2 sp from the bottom of
the bodice. Grab the tulle and pull thru the ch 2 sp about an inch or so, take the ends of the
tulle and pull through the hole made in the tulle on the other side, pull tightly and create the
knot. Repeat using the tulle in every ch 2 sp around.

Straps:
Cut ribbon or crochet 2 straps to:
12 months- 7.5 inches
Size 2- 8 inches
Size 3- 8.5 inches
Size 4- 9 inches
To place straps measure IN from edge approx.
12 months- 1.5 inches
Size 2- 2 inches
Size 3- 2.5 inches

Size 4- 3 inches
Using thread, stitch the strap to the inside of the bodice on the front and back.
Add ribbon if desired around the waist and Viola done.
