Introduction

Welcome to Zay's Crochet Macrame! In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of making a beautiful crochet lace skirt. This project is perfect for beginners and can be easily customized to fit your size and style preferences. Whether you want to wear it over leggings, at the beach, or as part of a cute set, this crochet lace skirt is versatile and stylish. So grab your materials and let's get started!

Materials Needed

To make this crochet lace skirt, you will need the following materials:

1. Size 3.25 millimeter crochet hook
2. Scissors
3. Yarn threading needle
4. Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima 100% Pima cotton yarn (approximately two skeins)

Make sure to turn your skein of yarn into a ball before starting. Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima is recommended for its softness and easy washability. However, you can use any brand of yarn as long as it is suitable for a crochet lace project. The measurements provided in this tutorial are based on using Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima.

Sizing and Customization

Before we begin, it's important to consider the size and fit of your skirt. The size demonstrated in this tutorial is a small to medium size, but you can easily adjust it to fit your specific measurements. For every inch and a half you want to add to the waist, simply add an extra seven chains to the foundation chain.

Feel free to experiment with different yarn weights and hook sizes to achieve your desired look and fit. Remember, the measurements provided are just a guideline, and you can customize the length and width of the skirt based on your preferences.

Starting the Skirt

To start the crochet lace skirt, we will create a slip knot and make a foundation chain of 151 chains. If you want to adjust the size, follow the instructions provided in the sizing and customization section.

Row One: The Foundation Chain

Skip the first three chains and work in the fourth chain by performing a double crochet stitch. Continue making a double crochet stitch into each chain across the foundation chain until you have a total of 148 double crochets.

Row Two: Double Crochet Stitch

Chain three, which will count as the first double crochet of the row. Turn your work and make one double crochet into the first stitch. Continue making one double crochet into each stitch across the row.

Row Three: Mesh Stitch Pattern

Chain four, turn your work, and skip the first stitch. Make one double crochet into the second stitch. Chain one, skip the next stitch, and make one double crochet into the second stitch. Repeat this pattern across the row.

Rows Four and Five: Increasing the Pattern

Chain three, turn your work, and make one double crochet into the first stitch. Make one double crochet into the next chain-one space, followed by another double crochet into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern across the row.

Repeat this pattern for the next row as well.

Rows Six to Eight: Peacock Stitch Pattern

Chain three, turn your work, and make one double crochet into the first stitch. Chain three and slip stitch into the middle of the chain-seven space. Chain three and skip to the next chain-one space. Make two double crochets into the space, followed by another chain one and two double crochets into the same space. Repeat this pattern across the row.

Repeat this pattern for the next two rows as well.

Rows Nine to Forty: Repeating the Pattern

For the next set of rows, repeat the patterns established in rows seven and eight. Continue repeating these patterns until you reach row forty.

Feel free to add more rows if you want a longer skirt or adjust the pattern as desired.

Rows Forty-One to Forty-Two: Finalizing the Pattern

For row forty-one, repeat row seven one last time.

For row forty-two, chain three, turn your work, and make one double crochet into the first stitch. Chain two, skip the next three chains, and make one double crochet, chain one, and one double crochet into the fourth chain. Repeat this pattern across the row.

Creating the Tie String

To attach the skirt together, we will create a tie string. Make a chain of 450 chains. Adjust the length as needed based on your preference or size.

Lacing Up the Skirt

Starting at the bottom of the skirt, thread your tie string through the spaces of the mesh stitch pattern. Alternate the strings, similar to shoelaces, and work your way up to the top of the skirt. Once at the top, pull the strings through the top row. Adjust the tightness as needed.

Tie the strings into a bow once the skirt is on, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.

Finishing Touches

With the skirt laced up and tied, you have successfully completed your crochet lace skirt! Feel free to customize it further by adding embellishments, such as beads or fringes, for a unique and personalized touch.
