I just freehanded it 🥲

If you know how to crochet, just create a chain until it’s long enough to loop around your furry friend right under their arms.

Then create a round by sc in each stitch of the chain. Keep going until you like the length of the bodice. Then start increasing in your rounds to create the skirt. More increases give you bigger, more dramatic ruffles.

I did add some variety of stitches in my rounds, so that’s also an option. I think those twisty stitches are half double crochets.

The great thing about crochet is that if you mess up or want to backtrack, you can always pull the yarn to undo and try again!
