​Crochet Black Skirt

You’ll need:

450 (550) 650g of black Setanova yarn (60% silk, 40% cotton; 150m/50g);

Crochet hook 4.

Size: S (M) L.

Used Patterns

Shells pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 10 + 1 + 1 chain st increase. Work due to the scheme 1. Start with sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-5^th rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-5^th rows, finish with the 6^th row.

Rhombs pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 24 + 2 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme 2 on double crochets of the previous row. Make 1^st-9^th rows x once.

Fans pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 4 + 1 + 3 chain sts increase. Work due to the scheme 3 on double crochets of the previous row. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows, finish with the 4^th row.

Stitches control: shells pattern: 25 sts x 8,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm;

All the rest patterns: 19 sts x 9 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Make 211 (231) 251 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with shells pattern. In 29 cm = 25 rows (34 cm = 29 rows) 39 cm = 33 rows from the set-up row, make 6^th row x once, then, increase 7 (11) 15 sts = 218 (242) 266 double crochets. Then, make 5 rows of double crochets, then, * 9 rows of rhombs pattern, 5 rows of double crochets*; repeat from * to * x once, decrease 1 st (decrease 1 st) increase 3 sts in the last row = 217 (241) 269 sts. Then, make 8 rows of fans pattern and finish with the 4^th row due to the scheme 3. Makesideseams.

For belt, make 5 cm of double crochets along the set-up row, make 169 (185) 201 double crochets in the 1^st row and decrease 10 sts in the 2^nd row = 159 (175) 191 sts. Make a chain of 120 (130) 140 cm with double yarn and draw it through upper row of belt.
