Crochet Tutu Waistband

Crochet Tutu Waistband - Dearest Debi Patterns

I made this crochet tutu waistband for my little girl before she turned a year old so I wanted something that was easy to put on and just as easy to take off.

I looked all over for tutorials on how to make tutu’s and found most of them worked around an elastic band and they were all closed style tutu’s, meaning you had to pull them on and off like a pair of pants so I had to implement a way to have easier access.

I worked up this button up crochet tutu and at first my little one didn’t like it, mostly just because she didn’t know what to make of the way the tulle felt but now she loves it and wants to wear it all the time and it’s perfect to take on and off easily and quickly for those times she changes her mind.

    what a cute idea! I plan to make some for my granddaughters 18 inch dolls. smaller thread, smaller needle and the rocking horse buttons I have should be just the right size. thanks for sharing!

    Oh this is perfect timing. My brother is getting married and I saw a cute tutu dress, but wasn’t sure how to do the top. This is just perfect!! I’m sure it will wash much better than the ribbon ones. Thanks

      Just make sure to measure her waist before hand, I’ve included instructions for 19″ waist and how to add to it if need be. 🙂
