Rainy Day Skirt-FREE PATTERN

Rainy Day Skirt

DK To Light Worsted yarn of your choice

For the length of skirt I did 72 chains. I like shirts to sit higher up above my natural waist. Since I am a more robust lady…;)

Row 1: HDC in 2^nd ch from hook and each chain across, turn (to make a neater seam you should hdc in back bar of the chain

Row 2: slst in the back loop only in each hdc across
Row 3-4: slst in the back loop only in each slst across
Row 5: HDC through both loops in each stitch across

Continue Row 2-5 until piece goes completely around your waist. Ending with a Row 4.

Assembly: now turn so the right side of the skirt is facing out. Slst through loop closest to you on the front side of the seam, and farthest from you on the other side of the seam. This should create a almost invisible seam.

Edging: sc along the bottom edge of the skirt evenly.

Row 2 Edging: sc in first st, 2 sc in next sc around to end

Row 3 Edging: ch 3. Dc in next sc, *ch 1, dc in next sc. Repeat from * around to end. Fasten off.

If your like me, you will also want to make a belt to tie the top of the skirt. So chain enough to go around your waist, and then add about 30 more chains so you can tie it.

That’s it, you’re done. Now wasn’t that easy? :D

5.We all stitch and support each other
6.A hungry person has no charity
7. Experiences are NOT enhanced by criticism
8.The stitching is what we enjoy
9.A good teacher allows the student to learn

I am still here

Good Morning,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am alive and well. Its just that with three kids, and it being summertime we are busy busy people. Out and about swimming, hiking, and camping. But I wanted to let everyone know that I have two more patterns in the works.

The first being a "The Princess Caroline Cardigan" which is a burgandy and gold colored cardigan made with a beautiful shell lace stitch.

The second being a honeycomb beach cover up. Which is made in a beautiful yellow with orange accompanyments.

These are still in the stages of being designed. But I will be putting them out for general consumption as soon as I complete them. I am quite proud of them. In a few weeks (or after I finish these projects) I will be starting a few boys size 6-8 size sweaters and fingerless gloves.

I am also in the finishing stages of a couple of different slipper designs, which I will more than likely offer for free here on this blog. So as the weather cools you will begin to see more of me and more in the way of patterns on this blog.

Thanks for your continued patronage of this site. And I hope you are having a wonderful summer

OMG Huge Stash steal!

Hi there,

Well recently we had a sale at our local thrift store. Since I prefer to reduce/reuse/ recycle. Then to buy new. I purchased about 10 balls of new bernat softee baby, soft touch, vannas choice, and many other choice brands for about 9 dollars.

Climbing Ivy Cardigan

well hello,

We have a new pattern joining my patterns at my ravelry store soon. Its the most wonderful connection of closed crochet and open lace. Its perfect for those warmer spring days, and warm enough even during the chilly nights. The collar and wrist are adorned by wonderful Ivy border....ab

It will be available for download in a few days. So check back often!!

I will also be offering the hat that goes with this Cardigan for free at this blog once I have it written out and tested.

thanks again for your interest in Chic Crochet.
