Ozark Trinket Box

 "JMSQ "Copyright Oct. © 2011
{In Memory of Aunt "Tante" Lois}
Aunt Lois went home to Glory Oct.15th, 2011

    
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.

  2. At the top of the bodice, after row 1 I'm getting confused because it says that you will have 14 stitches but then row 2 says to put 2 sc in each stitch across and you will have 16 stitches,but how is that possible, cause if you got 14 stitches and then turn an put a sc in each stitch then it will be 28. Please respond cause I've already done the other parts and now I'm stuck at this point. Thank you so much

  4. Start with the 2 sc in first st, work around 1 per st, then 2 in end, you should have 16 sts, I'll go over and make changes, thanks for letting me know
