A flirty crochet skirt is a perfect way to update your wardrobe-with great color and flair to boot!

The skirt is crocheted in a cotton yarn blended with Tencel for fabulous drape and softness. The bright color combination is earthy and young, yet the A-line skirt shape makes it very elegant and sophisticated. A self-sash at the waist adds a fun accent and allows you to decide if you prefer your skirts to hit at the waist or ride a little lower on your hips. Three buttons at the side.

This crochet pattern includes full-color photos of the a-line skirt, schematics, and both stitch symbols and written crochet stitch instuctions.
