Pleated crochet skirt and squares

Last year I have crocheted a skirt for my niece and I have used the same pattern again to crochet one for my friends daughter who is two years old..  It is pleated crocheted skirt and the pattern is from here.  The skirt measures 18" around waist and 9" length.  I have used 4 ply yarn for this project.  Have a look at the skirt.

My shadow work saree is over and I have kept it for a sale in my church and the money is going for missionaries.  I made a stall in the sale with my hand made items and happy that all the items have been sold.  I am happy that thru this I have contributed some amount for a good cause and the time spend during my free time is useful.  

Have some crochet finishes and will show one by one in my coming posts.  Till then, do watch my space and happy crocheting.

Pleated Crocheted Skirt

I like crocheting wearables.  But making it to the correct size was always a problem for me.  while googling i have found a skirt pattern. It is very simple but very effective.  I have decided to try it out for my 3year old niece.  I was doing this last month and I happened to stay along with my niece.  So I took measurements of her, then my crocheted piece and finally i have made a skirt which fits her properly..  For the waist i have used half inch elastic which I have attached it using single crochets.  I am happy that I have crocheted a wearable.  

I have used 3 balls(each 10 grams= 12 Rupees each) of knitting yarn which I purchased from my local yarn shop.  

you can find the pattern here.  Thanks Kinga for the excellent pattern.

In my next post I will come up with a sample piece of Long and short stitch in embroidery.
