Charlotte Skirt Crochet Pattern Download

Description

This sweet little lacy skirt feels nearly weightless but packs plenty of twirly fun. The skirt yoke provides a slim, smooth fit through the top of the hip, with enough stretch in the waistband to pull on before cinching in the drawcord. Rounds of doily lace cascade into a full circle hem that ruffles at the knee. Crocheted in lustrous, easy-care Cotton Classic Lite, this skirt is a surprisingly quick project.
