This simple skirt project pairs perfectly with other lace tops to create a full crochet outfit. Pair with a large t-shirt, a button-up blouse, or a cozy sweater for a stylish look.
This project is light and breezy for hot temperatures and incredibly fashionable. It is worked from the waist down with increases in the pattern until you reach the hip and then a simple repetitive pattern the rest of the way down. Use the lace charts at the end for extra help if the written instructions become too much to follow. Starting ch 2 does not count as a stitch.
