The nana skirt is inspired by a pleated lace skirt Nana Osaki wore in the anime/manga NANA. There are multiple options you can choose from while making the skirt—feel free to make it without lace or without the front ruching—it’s all detailed for you in the instructions.

The pattern will include: written instructions, photo instructions (step-by-step) & links to YouTube videos that may be helpful while you work on your skirt. You can also always contact me on Instagram by.redbean or email at byredbean@gmail.com if you have any further questions.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A PATTERN PDF; NOT A PHYSICAL ITEM.

Notes:

• Language: English
• Terminology: US
• Level of difficulty: intermediate crocheters and up! Highly recommend learning basic skills before trying to make this.
• Skills: basic crochet stitches, HDC, light sewing if you choose to make ruching, increasing.
• Pattern is made-to-measure to ensure that the garment will fit you how you’d like. Therefore, there are no exact stitch or row counts in the pattern.

Materials:

For reference, I used 350g of drops muskat for the main color & 110g of drops safran for the secondary color. (My waist & hip circumference = 28” & 38.“)
(Please see tester lookbook in pattern to gauge how much yarn you will need for your project!)

• Recommended hook size: 3.5mm hook for the main color & 3mm hook for the secondary color. (Or any hooks that match the yarn size you’re using.)
