WW Yarn         E & G Hook's

Materials:
1 - 8oz. cool whip bowl
1 - 6" cardboard circle (Optional) Read NOTES
1 - 11" Fashion doll w/ legs removed
15 pearl beads (optional)
Darning Needle

St's. Used:
Sc, Hdc, Dc, [BL = back loops only, FL = Front Loops only]
2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc (shell made)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE's:
It is easier to work ruffles on outside of trinket box bottom & Ruffles
BEFORE constructing them together 

The reason the row's are made in BL's is so you can get creative and
use these rounds to attach your ruffles. [WORK RUFFLES BEFORE COMPLETING PATTERN]

Using cardboard gives you a flat bottom, not using cardboard makes a nice pillow
bottom, both work nicely with Trinket Box.
