Crochet Summer Skirt

After a very, very, VERY long winter spring is finally there, here in the Netherlands! Still a bit reluctantly, but it's not freezing cold anymore. Sooo, I thought: "Now is the time to make more summer clothes for my girls again!" (I already made the Zebra Skirt, but when the matching weather failed to appear I kind of got stuck). 

I'm really into crochet these last weeks and this crochet mood is still going strong, so what I made is a crochet skirt for my oldest and a singlet for my youngest. I will show you the singlet next time, but here is the skirt:


Crochet Summer Skirt, White


I didn't use a pattern, I just put together different motives and joined them together to form a skirt. The skirt is lined with white jersey.

  1. Wow, that's awesome. I did some thread crochet many years ago, it's a lot of work! I only made some small things. Great job on the skirt.

  8. Oh so so adorable! I love it! Maybe someday I'll attempt something amazing like this (without a pattern, lol). What kind of thread/yarn did you use for the skirt?

  11. Wonderful! I'm crocheting a hat at the moment, but I'm tempted to put it aside to make a skirt for my daughter.

  12. Good Morning Liz, Well, I had to come and visit you when I saw the title of your blog "Howling at the Moon" and I am so pleased I did. The little skirt you have crocheted for your daughter is beautiful. When my daughters were small, I sewed and knitted a lot of their clothes. I have not done any crocheting for quite a few years, but do you know, I think I am going to start again.
    I have enjoyed my visit Liz and I have become a new follower.
    I would like to invite you to visit me at Ivy, Phyllis and Me! when you have the time.
    Best Wishes from England,
    Daphne
