Hello crochet friends and fellow bloggers!
What a busy, busy summer! But I'm happy to share with you my latest project.
I started working on this skirt back in June. And now in end of September it's finally finished!
Aunt Lydia's Crochet Thread Fashion Size 3 was perfect for this project. It created a fabric that is thick enough to hold shape, but it isn't too heavy or bulky.
I made this skirt in size Small, and it took me 7 balls of thread (150 yards each); that was about 1000 yards of thread in total.
The skirt is crocheted in one piece. It fits loosely over the hips, then adjusted and tied at the waist with a thin cord.
I worked with a hook size D/3 (3.25 mm).
And I chose treble crochets instated of doubles, so that there would be fewer rounds to make.
I loved the way my skirt looks on the mannequin. But then, pretty much everything looks great on a mannequin!
But I must say I'm quite satisfied with the way it looks on me.
I wore it with a black slip underneath, a black top, and black shoes. Red and black looks good together.
The pattern is written for size Small, however it can be easily adjusted to a custom size (the instructions are included in the pattern).
Since it's a new pattern that I'm trying to promote, for the next few days it's available for 50% off.
