Ripples Kids' Bloomers

Construction: You will work these bloomers from the top down and in the round, then you will separate the front and back to work them flat. You will then graft the crotch, pick up stitches around leg openings and finish the legs with the applied I-Cord method. The waistband has two versions: one with an elastic band for simplicity and convenience (Version 1) and another with ties for extra cuteness (Version 2). You can add as many ruffles as you like - we opted for just two!
