Tips

This skirt needs around 20 stitches decreased from the waist to fit this doll.

The amount of stitches needed to be decrease will depend on the tension at which you knit.

So use the gauge method described in the tutorials,to find the amount of stitches that you will need to decrease your waist band by,to fit  your doll.

Then follow the tutorial on making a fitted waist band,which can be found on the tutorial's page.

Because  of the weight in the beads,I also added a running stitch around the waist band close to the cast off edge,as in time the skirt will sag under the weight of the beads,and the running stitch will help to keep the skirt in place.
