My latest crochet pattern is this cute little baby skirt for the Calico Critter baby figures.
With only 3 rounds, this pattern works up really quickly, I made one up in less than half an hour.

You will need:

• cotton crochet thread #10 ( I used Aunt Lydia’s)
• 10/1.30mm steel crochet hook
• cord elastic (I used THIS elastic in white)
• scissors
• needle, to weave in ends

Sizes: crawling baby Calico Critter figure (the baby used in the photo above is from the cat twin set)

Difficulty level: intermediate

Glossary of terms used in this pattern:

ch = chain      sl-st = slip-stitch      sc = single crochet      dc = double crochet      V-stitch = double crochet, chain 1, double crochet, all in same stitch      Rnd(s) = round(s)      st(s) = stitch(es)
