The second row is the only row that works into double crochet stitches only (since dc are the only stitches that were worked in the first row).<br /><br />And yes, this skirt starts out very ruffly. If you don't want it as full, you could work (three dc in the next, dc in the next) around for the first row.<br /><br />I hope this makes sense! If not, let me know and we'll try again :-)<br /><br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174223079054928870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-20808775637464553632012-08-05T15:55:04.424-04:002012-08-05T15:55:04.424-04:00Hi Beth, i've made a Bleuette and i'm maki...Hi Beth, i've made a Bleuette and i'm making the long waisted dress. i'm at the skirt part and i'm wondering about it. it reads 1: Join CC1 in the back loop of the first sc at the bottom edge of the skirt, ch2 (is NOT the first dc), dc<br />in the same st (four dc in the next st, dc in the next st) across. In the last sc, work enough dc sts to end with an even number of dc sts for this row, ch1, turn. 2: (Sc in the first st, dc in the next st) across. Join to the beginning sc, ch1, turn. i did that but the skirt seems really ruffly and for the second row there isn't a sc from the previous row to sc into. Is it suppose to be (four dcs in the first,sc in the next st) for the first row? thanks for any help and i hope i explained it okay and didn't confuse you. :) ~Anne~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-48011059204071641742012-07-23T08:58:39.254-04:002012-07-23T08:58:39.254-04:00Elizabeth, I saw your lovely dress.

One of the ladies on my Dianna Effner Little Darlings list shared your link because some of Bleuette's clothes fit the Effner Little Darlings (13" vinyl dolls). I love your Crochet Bleuette and I'm going to try making some of the clothes and see how they fit my Little Darlings. I may also have to try the crochet Bleuette at some point! I wanted to thank you for posting the patterns. It's very kind of you to share! I know how much work goes into making written patterns and tutorials, so I truly appreciate your time.
