I called the Sprinkles Skirt the “Sister” of the Sprinkles Sweater. At first, I was thinking to make the sweater longer, like a Sweater Dress, but I loved so much the fit of the sweater that I wanted to wear it more. Since I don’t wear skirts or dresses that often I said that it will be a good idea to have a Sweater Dress look but from two pieces.  It was a great idea for me, as long as it gives me the opportunity to wear the pieces separately as well.

 

The Pattern of this dress is super easy and it won’t give you any problems. And if you plan to make the Sprinkles Sweater too, I will recommend starting with the skirt, to get used to the stitch pattern and the tension that allows you to work the stitches easier.

MATERIALS

• Yarn: Yarn: Aran (heavy worsted) yarn weight (Size 4)

• Crochet Hook:
o 10 mm crochet hook

• 1cm wide elastic band (length: with 3-4 cm less than the waist length

• yarn needle for weave in ends
• Stitch markers
• Scissors

NOTES ABOUT DESIGN

The Sprinkles Skirt is worked top-down starting at the waistband. The skirt is straight and has no shaping. We are using an elastic band to make it smaller around the waist line.

After working a few rounds, we fold the waistband and insert the elastic band inside the fold.

After this step, the skirt is worked in continuous rounds until you reach the desired length.

To finish the skirt, work 2 more rounds in slip stitches.

STITCH PATTERN AND TECHNIQUES

Working in continuous rounds
Working in continuous rounds is like working in a spiral. you don’t need to join with a slip stitch at the end of each round; you simply work directly into the first stitch. This technique requires using a stitch marker to mark the first stitch to know where the round starts and for easier counting.

cdc: centered double crochet
Stitches are worked as a regular dc, but instead of inserting your hook through the top loops, you will insert the hook into the “v” formed at the base of the stitch. Stitches need to be loose to make entering the stitch easier.

PATTERN NOTES

Work the piece in the round only on the right side
Work in continuous rounds like explained above
