The Lily Skirt Pattern is designed for intermediate crocheters (or advanced beginners).
Designer and Location: The skirt was designed by Elizabeth Gonsalves in Trinidad and Tobago, a sunny tropical island in the Caribbean.
Pattern Structure: The pattern is worked in the round. You will work the waistband at the end, and a drawstring will be attached.
Customizable Length: You can make the skirt as long as you like since there will be a few rows that are repeated. You continue repeating these rows until you reach your desired length.
Yarn Recommendations: The pattern suggests using either weight 3 (LIGHT) or weight 4 (MEDIUM) yarn. This choice allows for a flowy and drapey finished skirt. Ultimately, you can use any yarn size, but keep in mind that your finished work may look different from the pattern photos. Cotton yarn is recommended for this project because it doesn’t stretch as much while wearing and maintains its shape over time.
Yarn Source: The designer uses weight 3 light DK Lion Brand Yarn - Comfy Cotton Blend
Preparation: The pattern recommends reading through the entire pattern before starting to become familiar with the process.
Custom Fit: The pattern emphasizes that measurements are involved to ensure a custom fit. You will need to take your body measurements to create a skirt that fits you perfectly.
