Crochet Skirt - Catch A Wave!
My first crochet garment in a long while - and so happy with the results. It was made with Lion Brand Cotton Ease in 2 shades - charcoal and stone - and a size G-6 crochet hook. The construction of this piece is the most interesting: you make the “waves” at the bottom first, worked side-to-side with singles, doubles, and trebles to make the pattern, then attached in a ring, and turned to make the body of the skirt in circles. Kept it interesting for sure!
Pattern from: Crochet Today (March 08)
The best part? It fits! Put elastic at the waise as directed, and need to wear it with a slip (instead of trying to line it), but so very happy. For sure ready to attempt another garment.
Looking forward to down-sizing the scale of the waves to make more beverage sleeves - good way to use up the excess yarn and I think will be quite cute.
