This pattern uses US crochet terminology.

This pattern uses Knitcraft Cotton Blend Plain DK Yarn in ‘Black’ for colour 1 and ‘White’ for colour 2.

It is advised that you split your yarn into equal sized balls so that you have x4 separate balls to work from, as this pattern requires multiple colour changes. You will need to be working with 2 separate balls of each colour.

All sizes and quantities are indicative, and will vary from person to person. It is recommended that you test your tension by making a 10cm / 4in” x 10cm / 4” swatch before beginning your project, you can then scale the amount of stitches up or down to allow for any differences.

The skirt is designed to have a tight but slightly boxy fit. The yarn can be switched out for an alternative type, but it is advised that you make a tension swatch to check how it scales. A heavier yarn may cause the skirt to stretch or slide on the hips.

The skirt is made as one piece with no need to join any panels.

It uses predominantly Half Double Crochet and Single Crochet stitches.
