RND 1: Work 1 SC into each CH (30 SC).
Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of your rounds.

Repeat from * all around.

CH 11; work 1 SC into 2nd CH from hook; work 1 SC into next 9 CH; SL ST into last SC worked.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Beach Theme:

Small Fish Appliqué:
With yarn and 3, 00 mm hook; make a magic ring
RND 1: Work 6 SC into ring;

SL ST into next SC; CH 3; work [1 DC; 1 HDC] into same ST; SL ST into next SC; work [1 HDC; 2 HDC] into next SC. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

Sew fish on the Swimming Dress and embroider some French knots for an eye and bubbles.

Ballerina Theme:

Frills:

Start at back; join yarn into a loop of the 2nd row from the bottom
TIP:  hold the dress with the TOP part facing towards you!

*[SL ST; SC] into next loop;
[SC; HDC] into next loop;
2 DC into next loop;
[HDC; SC] into next loop;
[SC; SL ST] into next loop.**

Repeat from * to ** 5 more times – 6 Petals.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

(With new color join yarn into next row above and repeat instructions) x 2
Optional you can make more rows with frills!

Ear Flower:

With yarn make a magic ring;
(CH 3; work 2 DC into ring; CH 3; SL ST into ring) 5 times;
CH approx 8 CH – chain should fit snugly over ear – SL ST into back to form a loop.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Optional – before I weaved in my ends I added a bead as a decoration for the center.
Added the bead to the tail then sewed the tail away.

Buttons:

Add/sew press buttons to the neck chain.
Or if you added the button-loop – sew on your buttons.

There is no wrong or right way – it depends on your need.
The buttons are decoration and DO NOT have to be functional – you can sew the neck chain to the bodice part of the dress too – so that the neck chain slides over the teddy’s head!
