Item:

Skirt

Skill Level:

Intermediate

Basic Skills Necessary:

crochet in the round
basic crochet stitches (sc, hdc, dc)
crocodile stitch (the pattern does have a picture tutorial)

Pattern Description:

OK, let's start with some basic math:

Babies are cute.
Giraffes are cute.
Babies + giraffes = ridiculously cute

Enter the Giraffe Jubilee outfit for little girls. This pattern includes a giraffe hat and color-themed 'ruffle' skirt that any self-respecting baby girl (princess-obsessed or not) will love!

The outfit is great for baby pictures but was also designed for everyday (well ... probably not EVERY day, but you know what I mean) wear and to be comfortable on baby.

Sizes are approximate but are written for a newborn (small), up to 6 months (medium), or for about 12 months (large).

Please enjoy!
