Introduction

Welcome back to today's crochet class! In this tutorial, we will be creating a two-in-one mesh skirt. Whether you're new to the channel or a returning subscriber, we appreciate your support. So let's dive right into the class!

Materials Needed

To create the mesh skirt, you will need the following materials:

• Yarn (preferably a cotton blend)
• A 4mm crochet hook
• Stitch markers
• Scissors

Creating the Palm

To start, make a slip knot and chain 12. This applies to all sizes. Next, make a double crochet stitch, skipping one stitch and working into the next. Continue double crocheting until the end of the row. Repeat this pattern for six rows.

Working on the Front Panel

After completing the six rows, it's time to create the increasing rows. Chain three and turn your work. In the first stitch, make a double crochet to increase the stitch count. Continue making normal double crochets until the last stitch, where you will make two double crochets as an increase. The number of increase rows will depend on the size you are making: 12 rows for small, 13 for medium, 14 for large, and 15 for extra large.

Increasing Rows for Different Sizes

For each size, repeat the increase rows according to the mentioned counts. Make sure to chain three at the beginning of each row and use double crochets to maintain the pattern.

Adding the Back Panel

Once you have completed the front panel, it's time to work on the back side of the skirt. Attach your yarn, chain three, and start increasing from the first stitch. Make normal double crochets until the last stitch, where you will make two double crochets to increase. The number of stitches for the back panel should match the total number of stitches for the front panel.

Adjusting the Waist and Hip Measurements

Measure the size of your waist and make chains on both sides to fit your hips. The number of chains may vary depending on the size you are making. Slip stitch the chains to the pants. Remember to leave some room for adjustments to achieve the perfect fit.

Defining the Pants

After slip stitching, chain three and make double crochets in each stitch around the waist. Repeat this double crochet row two more times for a total of three rows.

Creating the Mesh Effect

Turn to the back panel and attach your yarn in the middle. Chain 19 and skip six stitches. Make a single crochet in the seventh stitch. Repeat this pattern until the desired length is achieved. This will create the mesh effect of the skirt.

Attaching Tassels to the Mesh

To add a decorative touch, attach tassels to the bottom of the mesh. You can choose the number of tassels and their placement according to your preference. Simply attach them around the mesh to create a unique look.

Finalizing the Waist Adjustments

After attaching the tassels, redefine any loose ends and create a long chain for the waist adjustments. Attach it to the middle from the front of the skirt. This will allow you to adjust the waist size for a comfortable fit.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created a beautiful two-in-one mesh skirt. This project is simple yet versatile, allowing you to customize it to your own style. We hope you enjoyed this crochet class and look forward to seeing you again next week. Until then, happy crocheting!
