One of the first crocheted clothing designs I made is the Rose ruffled strap skirt. And my baby girl looked absolutely adorable in it (she looks adorable in anything). I made the straps with buttonholes to allow for some growth because don’t you just hate it when toy spend time and love making something and they just grow out of it in a week or two!

Pattern info
You can check out my collected pattern info below if you need more guidance when working with one of my patterns.
Pattern info specifically to this pattern
Each size is separated with / make sure you have the right amount of stitches for the size you are making.
First, we crochet the waistband and a few rows on the skirt back and forth before we start joining rounds on our skirt, the straps are then crocheted separately.
When joining the skirt, each round ends with ch 2 and then the work turns to be crochet in the other direction.
If you need any clarification on the terms I use you can see them below.
