I really like this simple pinafore skirt. It is based on the same pattern as the overalls, but with some changes. And it's just so cute!
Pattern
Note that I'm using the US terms. If you're from the UK, a US double crochet is the same as the UK treble crochet.
Use the same yarn and needle size as for the doll.
Make a chain with 42 stitches. Close the circle by making a slip stitch in the first chain stitch.
Round 1: Make 3 chain stitches (ch). This will count as your first double crochet stitch. 41 double crochet stitches (dc). Close the circle with a slip stitch in the last chain stitch [42]
Round 2-7: Repeat round 1.
Make more rounds for a longer skirt.
End with an extra slip stitch and weave in the end.
Back
Now to turn this into a pinafore skirt. Start by flattening out the skirt so that you have 21 stitches on the front and 21 stitches on the back. I like to have the "seam" in the center back. On the back, skip the first two stitches from the right and stick your needle through the third stitch. Pick up the yarn.
Row 1: 3 ch, decrease (only make half the first dc, leaving 2 loops on the needle. Then make the second dc. At the end, pull through all 3 loops leaving only 1 loop on the needle), 11 dc, decrease (dec), 1 dc [15]
Row 2: Turn around. 3 ch, dec, 9 dc, dec, 1 dc [13]
Row 3: Turn around. 3 ch, dec, 7 dc, dec, 1 dc [11]
Row 4: Turn around. 3 ch, dec, 5 dc, dec, 1 dc [9]
Row 5: Turn around. 3 ch, dec, 3 dc, dec, 1 dc [7]
Row 6-20: Turn around. 1 ch (does not count as first stitch of the round), 3 single crochet stitches (sc) [3]
Row 21: Turn around. 5 ch, end with a slip stitch in the last stitch of the row. This is the loop that will go round the button. If you use a different button, adapt number of chain stitches to match. You want a close fit.
Cut off the yarn and weave in the end. However, if you are unsure about the fit, leave a longer end so that you can make the straps longer if needed.
Go back to row 5 and start on the inside from the right. Skip the first stitch after the strap and pick up the yarn in the 5th stitch of the row for the second strap.
Row 6: Make 1 ch and then a single stitch in the same loop. Make 2 more sc [3]
Row 7-21: Same as for the first strap.
Cut off the yarn and weave in the end.
Front
Start from the right with the front (right side out) facing you. Skip the first 6 stitches and pick up the yarn in the 7th stitch.
Row 1: 3 ch, dec, 7 dc, dec, 1 dc [11]
Row 2: Turn around. 3 ch, 10 dc [11]
Row 3: Turn around. 3 ch, dec, 5 dc, dec, 1 dc [9]
Row 4: Turn around. 3 ch, 8 dc [9]
Cut off the yarn and weave in the end.
Buttons
Make 2 ch. 3 sc in the second stitch from the needle. Cut off yarn and thread the end on a sewing needle.
Make a stitch through the first single stitch from the backside to the front. Do the same in the next 2 stitches.
Pull on the thread to make the yarn form a little sphere. Thread the two ends of the button through the front corner wherever you want the buttons and tie the ends together on the back. Weave in or just cut off the ends.
Weave in all other loose ends you may have left, and the skirt isdone!
