I designed and made a crochet skirt, fully lined and everything!! Wowzers!!
Rather proud of myself at the moment. Looking forward to wearing it to the Enigmatic Mrs C's 40th birthday party soon.
The journey?
Well, it's no secret that I LOVE the traditional granny square and so an item of clothing incorporating it was bound to happen at some point.
I researched on Pinterest and found some examples that I really liked, so using these for inspiration I began the process of designing my own.
As it grew, my two rows of squares shrank to only one as I realised that visually it would work better.
The granny row
Next I created the hem line with granny clusters and a little picot edge reflecting the colour sequences used in the squares.
Nice!
Then on to the body of the skirt which is entirely made of black trebles.
I turned it over at the top and added in a band of elastic - not too tight!!
Finally, I lined it. I was hoping I wouldn't need to as you may remember that I really don't like sewing! But it needed it and infact was slightly see through without, oops!!
So so so happy. Ahhh.
Next, mmm?
A Granny square top me thinks!! Never to be worn together though!!!!
Til next time,
Happy crocheting x
