OH WOW !! SUCH A LOVELY SKIRT

What else can one say when one sees a pattern like this??    Just a few days back, I dragged my dear husband all the way to a really crowded area of Mumbai to purchase yarns. So the least I can do now is work on them quickly and ‘justify’ the really difficult time I gave him that afternoon 😁

Materials used : Red rose knitting cotton ~ 280 gms  (nearly 3 skeins), with a 3.75 mm (F) crochet hook
For Indians : Our lovely Indian Anchor knitting cotton, White rose knitting cotton or the superb range of yarns from Alize are great substitutes too.
For Non-Indians : Red Rose knitting cotton is an Indian yarn and probably unavailable outside India.  Among the international yarns I have used in this thickness, I’d suggest Aunt Lydia Cotton 10, Aunt Lydia Bamboo-Viscose 10, DMC Petra, Sullivans knitting cotton (Australia), Milford Soft, Hilaza Rustica Eclat , Alize cotton yarn and Alize bamboo yarn.
General yarn info : This yarn is not specific for this pattern.  Use any yarn with a suitable hook to make this skirt to any size you want.  
Size and gauge are not important.  They are given for yarn estimation

Size made : Waist : 28-30” ; Length :  19”
Gauge : 5 dc sts (across) x 2 dc rows (high) = 1”
Gauge is not important.  I have only given it for a guide on yarn estimation.

Stitches used :
Starting slip knot : Here’s how you start with a slip knot.  https://youtu.be/lJcqsVcs8cw 

Starting slip knot 1 or the Sloppy Slip knot : This is a neat new way to start your work without a slip knot.  https://youtu.be/YfC7KmGpifs

On completion of this beauty, the first thought that came to me was Angie from Minions and her famous line (which I am paraphrasing)... "Its so *pwetty*.. I'm gonna die..."!!!

This is not  my original pattern or idea (how I wish it were.. such an amazingly creative brain has thought this through!!).  This is yet another lovely free pattern floating the net, for which there is a chart (by designer?) - and as I'm making my own beautiful skirt, I am writing down my notes.  
Hopefully there aren't any errors (or nothing too serious to misunderstand), but if you do stumble on anything, do let me know, so I can update and change it in this pattern sheet. 

I started writing my blogs and notes as I found that I was unable to work with many of the internationally available patterns due to the paucity of yarns available locally.  Two things have changed - we do get quite a few yarns (local and international) now, and I have quite a few followers internationally as well. I have therefore edited in information for yarn usage.

I give a lot of information through all my blogs and notes.  
Please go through all my notes before you start on your project.  
Cheers and happy crafting.

This skirt can be made to any size using any yarn - so for a child or adult.
Just ensure that you get the stitch count right for the size you are making it for and you're good to go.

The pattern has been written to work in rounds.  

So I would suggest you make it with an elastic on top and work in rounds all through.  I would suggest that you work the first round slightly more than the the hip measurement.  This also adds to the flare and fall of the garment.
I would also suggest that you work a few rows of plain hdc or dc as a waist band (say 1.5 - 2") for a flat start.
Check out this video on how to add and work with elastic in crochet.


In case this video does not come on, please visit https://youtu.be/T5Qc3q2N0ds

If you do not want to start with an elastic, and need a small opening around the back for a zipper, then please do a few rounds / rows of plain sc / hdc or dc (i.e sc / hdc /dc in each st all through till end) before  starting on the 1st round of pattern.   
In that case you may want to start with the fsc and not fdc.  Just a thought.
For a "how to"on both fsc and fdc, check the top of this blog.


The skirt pattern stitch count is in multiples of 8.  

Foundation double crochet (fdc) : This is a unique way of starting a project directly with a row of double crochet stitches.  Here is an easy video tutorial https://youtu.be/hjNUYVvyU9k 

Start with fdc and work as many sts as needed for you to get a chain that goes around the waist and in multiples of 8.

Double Crochet : dc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk); [yo, draw through 2 lps] twice.  One dc made.  Check out the video at https://youtu.be/xdnjB27zpYo

Chainless start for Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of dc.

Note : Please take a quick look at the full pattern.  
You’ll see that there is this first set of 4 dc – now as you’re adding one dc in the ch-sp just before and after, you are skipping one dc in this 4 dc set.. so you will eventually reach the 1st dc, which, per pattern, you’ve got to skip.. so you’re going to wonder where the ‘dc in 1st dc’ comes from (as you’ve got to skip that dc).. so what I’ve done is just  turn my work, sl-st into the 2nd dc (which is then our 1st d), and then continue with pattern as written.   
This will happen from this Round on – so please adjust accordingly.
