Pretty Pleats Skirt Crochet Pattern Download

Description

Annie Modesitt’s hip skirt features pleats that rein in the skirt’s fullness at the top, while contrasting gores celebrate the skirt’s swingy silhouette. The shaped yoke is worked up from the skirt panel section, and the piece is finished with a chain lattice hem. The sizing ranges from girl to grown-up, making it a great mother-and-daughter crochet-along.
