There’s nothing like the feeling of the cool breeze on a hot day — and that is precisely what the Eventide Skirt crochet pattern by Moon Eldridge captures so well. It features a lightweight, airy design, perfect for summer outings. Whether strolling on the beach or attending a garden party, this skirt ensures comfort combined with style!
Is This Pattern Beginner-Friendly?
Intermediates are likely to find the Eventide Skirt easy. The skills needed to complete this skirt pattern involve working in the round and shaping. However, with detailed instructions, it is accessible to anyone looking for something beyond their present skill level.
Materials and Tools You’ll Need
To make this crochet skirt, you will need lightweight yarn to achieve the drapey summer feel. The author suggests the Knit Picks Lindy Chain, which is a fingering cotton yarn. It will produce a nice, breathable, and comfortable fabric—just perfect for sunny weather!
The pattern also calls for 3.25 mm and 2.25 mm crochet hooks. Check your gauge first to ensure that your skirt turns out as it should.
Guide to Crocheting the Eventide Skirt
The Eventide Skirt pattern is worked top-down, beginning with the belt band, which is crocheted flat. This method makes it easy to adjust the waistband for a custom fit. The first four rows of the skirt are worked flat before joining in the round.
Increases made at strategic places create an eye-catching wave motif that is the primary part of the skirt’s look.
How Do I Ensure the Perfect Fit?
The pattern provides six sizes, from a 25-inch to a 40-inch finish waist measurement, so you can choose the most accurate size for you. Measure your waist before you begin so that you can reference the sizing guide for the pattern. Because the waistband will be worked flat first, you will be able to make adjustments for a better fit before you join to work in rounds.
