Introduction

Hey there, it's your girl Kaylee Sparks! Today, I want to show you how to create a beautiful crochet cover-up skirt in the vibrant colors of Jamaica. With emancipation day and independence day just around the corner, this outfit is the perfect way to celebrate in style. So, grab your tapestry needle, crochet hook, scissors, and yarn, and let's dive right into this fun and easy project!

Materials Needed

To create this stunning crochet cover-up skirt, you will need the following materials:

• Tapestry needle
• 5mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Yarn (preferably in the colors of the Jamaican flag)

Creating the Magic Circle

Let's start by creating a magic circle. This technique allows us to start our crochet project with a tightly closed center. To create a magic circle, yarn over and pull up a loop, then make a chain that is long enough to go around your waist.

Making the Waist Chain

Once you have created the magic circle, it's time to make the waist chain. This chain will determine the size of your skirt. Make a chain of the desired length, ensuring it fits snuggly around your waist. For example, a chain of 110 stitches should be sufficient for a waist circumference of 28 inches.

Creating the Skirt Loops

With the waist chain in place, it's time to create the skirt loops. Start by making a chain of five stitches. Then, go into the 110-chain stitch that you were holding onto and place a double crochet into that spot. This will create a foundation row for our skirt loops.

To create the loops, chain one, skip one stitch, and go into the next stitch with a double crochet. Continue this pattern of chaining one, skipping one, and double crocheting into the next stitch until you reach the end of the chain.

Checking for Twists

It's important to make sure that your chains are not twisted. To do this, lay your work flat and check for any twists. If you find a twist, carefully untangle it before proceeding. Repeat this process for each section of the skirt loops.

Making the Bow

To add a charming finishing touch to your crochet cover-up skirt, let's make a bow. Start by making a chain that is long enough to create a bow. This length can vary depending on your preference. Aim for a chain that is about one foot long on each side. Once you have made the desired length of chain, tie a knot to secure it and trim off any excess yarn.

Finishing Touches

To complete your crochet cover-up skirt, tie the bow at either end of the skirt loops. This will create a decorative accent and add a playful touch to your outfit. Adjust the bow as needed to achieve your desired look.
