The circle skirt occupies one of the leading positions in a woman's wardrobe. It has many variations and forms. Among them is a crocheted option.
Its popularity is explained not only by its style, but also by the fact that recently self-made items have taken one of the leading positions on the fashion Olympus.
Even a novice needlewoman can easily make a fashionable skirt. To do this, just choose the right model and spend a little free time.
Crocheting a circle skirt
This option does not involve the use of a pattern, since the model is performed in a continuous manner in a circle.
Preparing for work
Before work you need to perform several steps.
- Take measurements: waist circumference and product length.
- Select model.
- Purchase suitable yarn and knitting tools.
Reference! In order to find a beautiful and extraordinary thing, it is not necessary to look for a detailed description. It will be enough to use patterns for knitting round tablecloths or napkins.
Often this style requires the use of a thick lining or the use of a cover. Therefore, you need to buy a suitable fabric: satin, chiffon or satin.
Selection of yarn and hook
The preparatory stage is very important for the smooth progress of the work and achieving the best result. And the choice of material and tool is the most important part of it.
Hook
The hook is selected based on the thickness of the yarn. The material from which it is made is also important.
To determine the correct size of hook to use, simply fold the fiber in half and compare it with the head of the tool.
The choice of hook material is determined by the craftswoman individually, depending on which one is more convenient for her to use.
Materials used in the production of crochet hooks:
- metal;
- plastic;
- tree;
- bone.
Yarn
Yarn is selected based on seasonality. For warm weather: linen, silk, cotton. In the cold season, it is better to use wool, mohair, alpaca and angora.
Important! Pay special attention to the thickness of the thread you purchase. This model assumes the airiness and plasticity of the fabric, so thin yarn should be used.

This product requires a cover or liner. You can use a cover made of tulle as an underskirt.
Useful tips for crocheting a sun skirt
In conclusion, we present a few recommendations that will help facilitate the workflow.
- After finishing work, be sure to carry out a wet-heat treatment of the product. And also dry it laid out on a horizontal surface.
- Before you start, knit a small sample of the main pattern and give it an OBE. Yarn is often subject to stretching after washing. Therefore, this action will help you figure out how the material will behave after manufacturing.
- When crocheting, thin yarn often gets tangled and falls off the main skein. To avoid this, rewind it into a tight ball before starting knitting.
- To ensure that the thread flows in gradually during the fabrication process, place the ball in a plastic bucket and cover with a lid, having previously made a small hole in it for the tip of the thread.
Creative inspiration and smooth stitches!
