Crochet Skirt Pattern Using Deborah Norville Serenity Garden Yarn

You’ll Need:

3 balls of Deborah Norville Collection Serenity Garden (800-03 Hibiscus) (169m/65g);

Crochet hook 5.5 mm.

Size:

S-M.

Stitch Control:

15 stitches = 10 cm.

Instructions

Make a foundation chain of 112 chain stitches plus 1 additional chain or multiples of 4 (4x28) chains + ch.1. Join the 1st and last chains with a slip stitch (sl.st.) to crochet in the round.

Round Instructions:

1^st rnd: single crochet (sc) to end;

2^nd-9^th rnds: front loop single crochet (flsc) to end;

10^th rnd: flsc to end plus sl.st.1 with the 1st chain of the following round;

11^th rnd: ch 1 to pick up the height, double crochet (dc) to end + sl.st. 1 with the 2nd chain of the following round;

12^th rnd: ch 1, [skip 1, dc3, cr.st.1*] to end of the round + sl.st.1 in the 2nd ch. of the following round;

13^th-14^th rnds: flsc to end;

15^th rnd: as the 10^th round;

16^th rnd: as the 11^th round;

17^th rnd: as the 12^th rnd;

18^th-20^th rnds: flsc to end;

21^st rnd: continue flsc increasing chains with about even intervals between each increase or every 14 chains. You should have 8 chains more by the end of the round;

22^nd-30^th rnds: flsc to end;

31^st rnd: as the 21^st rnd, but increase every 15 chains;

32^nd-60^th rnds: flsc to end.

Repeat 10^th-20^th rnds.

If you want the skirt to be longer, crochet more rounds of flsc.

Elastic

You need about 1 yard of elastic for the project.

To put the elastic in, attach the yarn to the initial foundation chain and join the 1st and 9th rounds together on the wrong side of your work, matching closely the chains of both rounds. Insert the elastic into the opening using a pin and sew both ends together. After that, cover the hole entirely. Cut the yarn and secure it (if any).
