These can be altered and made to fit any size girl. The pattern is written to fit a toddler, size 3T. To make smaller, use less beginning chains (to fit around calf) and/or make less rows (shorter length).

These are absolutely adorable! I am having a bit of trouble with the ruffles though. I am not a beginner but not a pro either so I am hoping you can clarify for me :) R12-15, can you please help me clarify what is the post and base of the stitches? Thanks!
