This half doll is called Justine.
Dressed by Dawn Larcombe of Deloraine,
Dawn has used a lovely bead colour no.674 and teamed it with a D.M.C. no 3325,which has made the bead look deeper than what it really is.
Called Fifi with Lizzie this pattern comes from Anlaby Designs,
and uses 5 hanks with 2 balls of Perle 8 cotton.

Tip
This pattern when finished has around 80 stitches on the needle.
If you left this many in the waist band and placed it onto the doll,the waist would be very puckered with the excess amount of stitches.
40 stitches were decreased from the needle,for a fitted waist band for this doll.
To finish the skirt with a fitted waist please follow the tutorials for making a fitted waist band on the tutorials page.
For a different take on this skirt,as it has a lovely beaded pattern knitted into the skirt,think about using a different colour cotton than the bead colour,which would really show up the pattern.
