My Bruges Beach Skirt
Bruges (brooj) Lace is a technique of crocheting a long tape of short rows and connecting them with chain loops to the subsequent tapes. Traditional bruges lace has a signature rounded corner or “u-turn” at the end of each row. I’m calling this “My Bruges” because my version is still bruges lace, but the ends are 180 degree turns instead of u-turns. These are simple double crochet and chains, but connected together, they make a pretty lace design.
The beauty of this pattern is that each panel is made in a Join As You Go method. We will start with one panel and add additional panels until we have achieved the size we want. Add a substantial fringe piece to the middle of each panel and your tails will disappear!
I used 180 yards of I Love This Cotton in Ivory and 150 yards in a print color. My skirt is 14” long and 35” waist. My second skirt used about 400 yards of I Love This Cotton. It is 25” long and 31“ waist. You will use more or less yarn than me depending on the size and length you want to make. If you got the pattern bundle with My Bruges Crop Top, just make sure you use the same kind of yarn for both patterns.
