Step-by-Step Instructions

Part 1: Bust Panel

Step 1: Create the Ribbed Bust Panel

1. Measure the length starting from your neckline to underbust.
   • For standard fit: Approx. 6–7 inches.
2. Start with a slip knot and create chains to match your measured length.

Rows: Alternating Slip Stitches and HDC

1. After completing the chains, chain 1 and make sl st into each chain along the row.
   • Be careful to keep sl st loose as it creates a tight fabric.
2. Chain 1, turn, and make hdc into the back loop of each stitch for the next row.
3. Alternate between sl st (back loop) rows and hdc (back loop) rows until the panel circumference matches your bust size.
   • Ensure a snug fit; the panel will loosen over time.

Step 2: Joining Bust Panel

1. Turn the panel to the wrong side and align both edges.
2. Use a slip stitch to join the two ends, working stitch-by-stitch across the row.
3. Once joined, turn the panel right-side out.
   • The fitted bust panel is now complete.

Part 2: Baby Doll Flare

Step 3: Adding Base Round

1. With the 4 mm hook, attach yarn at the join.
2. Ch 1 and make sc into each stitch around the bust panel.
3. Close with a slip stitch at the first sc.

Step 4: Double Crochet V-Stitch Circles

1. Ch 4 (Counts as dc + ch 1) and make dc into the same stitch.
   • This forms your first V-stitch: dc, ch 1, dc.
2. Skip the next stitch and repeat:
   • dc, ch 1, dc into the next stitch.
3. Continue this V-stitch pattern around, skipping one stitch between each V-stitch.
4. Slip stitch to the 3rd ch to close the round.

Step 5: Extend the V-Round Pattern

1. Slip stitch into the chain space of the previous round.
2. Begin each round with Ch 4 (dc, ch 1) and make another dc into the same space.
3. Work into each V-stitch chain space from the previous round:
   • dc, ch 1, dc (repeat).
4. Repeat this process for 12 total rounds of V-stitches (or adjust according to preference for length).

Step 6: Flowy Treble Crochet Edge

1. After completing the last V-round, start a final round with Ch 3.
2. Make tr (treble crochet) into each stitch of the round to create a flowy edge.

Part 3: Rose and Leaf Decoration

Step 7: Green Leaf Foundation

1. Attach green yarn and Ch 6.
2. Skip the next 4 stitches, make sc into the 5th stitch to form a loop.
3. Repeat: Ch 6, skip 4 stitches, sc into the 5th stitch for the entire round.
4. Slip stitch to the starting sc.

Step 8: Leaf Formation

1. Slip stitch into the first loop.
2. Work the following into the same loop:
   • Ch 1, sc, hdc, Ch 3, sl st into 2nd ch, hdc, sc into the loop.
3. Move to the next loop and repeat leaf formation.
4. Continue working leaves around the entire round. Cut green yarn and weave in ends.

Step 9: Rose Creation

1. For roses, attach thick red yarn to the space between two leaves.
2. Ch 12 and crochet as follows:
   • Skip the first 3 chains.
   • Into the 4th ch, make 3 dc. Continue making 3 dc into each chain.
3. As you work, the coil will naturally curl into a rose shape.
4. Slip stitch to the base, leaving a long tail.
5. Use the tail with a yarn needle to sew through layers of the rose to secure its shape.
6. Repeat roses for all spaces between leaves.

Part 4: Straps and Heart Embellishments

Step 10: Add Ribbing to Top

1. Attach yarn for a ribbed edge around the top; crochet a row of sc into each stitch.

Step 11: Create Straps

1. Mark 10 stitches from the corner on both front and back for strap placement.
2. Attach yarn at the marked stitch and Ch 90 (or desired strap length).
3. Work sc into each chain for a sturdy strap.
4. Create 4 straps in total (2 front and 2 back).

Step 12: Add Heart Embellishments

1. Using red yarn and the 3 mm hook, create hearts using a magic ring:
   • Ch 3, make 3 trtr, 3 dc, Ch 1, 1 trtr, Ch 1, and repeat in reverse.
   • Close the ring tightly.
2. Attach each heart to the strap’s end using a yarn needle.

Finishing the Top

1. Weave in all loose ends.
2. Block the top to shape the flare and accents evenly.
