Pattern Release 9/12/20

This VERY FULL skirt is meant for children. It’s perfect for twirling and is great for girls’ sizes 2-12. However, since it can be made to your measurements, you can make this pattern for adult sizes too. Just follow the instructions in the pattern for the waistband. Take into account the need to fit over hips and rear (the adult pattern has accommodations for hips).

• All directions are written in US Crochet Terms.
• Pattern is written so that you can fit it precisely to any waist/hip size. Be sure to do frequent “fit checks” by trying the skirt on to ensure it will fit. Do not wait until the end to check fit.
• Waistband is created sideways in rows. It is then seamed. The body of the skirt is created in rounds. The rounds increase at intervals.
• The skirt directions are written until approximately 36” of length. Stop crocheting skirt rounds and move to the bottom
trim whenever your desired length has been reached.
• If the waistband of the skirt has to be made slightly bigger to accommodate hips, simply weave a ribbon or long chain in and out of the ch-spaces in the waistband to create a tie to hold the skirt in place comfortably.
• This pattern is written with children who love full skirts and twirling in mind. However, due to the “crochet-to-measurement” style of the pattern, it can be made to fit teens and/or adults in any size. Just follow the instructions for checking fit over hips and try on frequently while you are making it to ensure a good fit.
• Blocking will not only open up the shell stitches, but also add an inch or more to the length of your skirt as well as give it the lovely scalloped edge at the bottom. It will provide a crisp and finished look. Don’t skip blocking!
